Digits Parts to Whole Numbers: Digits Units Tens Hundreds Thousands Ten Thousands Hundred Thousand Millions
Addition • Adding Whole Numbers 6 + 3 • 9
Addition continue • Carrying in Addition • 48 • + 64 • 112
Word Problems • Problem-Solving (Word Problems) • If a construction company had 14 workers on one job, 18 on another, and 32 on a third job, how many total employees do they have all together?
Applied Math • 14 • 18 • + 32 • 64 total workers
Applied Math Continues Subtracting Whole Numbers: • 38 • - 24 • 14
Subtraction • Borrowing during subtraction • 34 • - 28 • 6
Multiplying • Multiplying Simple Whole Numbers • 4 • x 8 • 32
Multiplying Continues • Multiplying Larger Whole Number • 75 • x 16 • 420 • 75_ • 1170

Importance of Measurements • Measurements • Divisions of an inch
Fractions Explained • Fractions – value expressed with a numerator and denominator • 1 • 2 Numerator Denominator
Fractions Explained • Equivalent fractions – different numerators and denominators but having the same value • 4 2 1 • 8 4 2
Fractions Explained • Reducing to lowest forms • Reduce to lowest terms possible by dividing both the numerator and numerator by the highest number possible
Dividing Fractions • 3 3 1 • 9 3 3
Dividing Fractions Explained • Lowest common denominator • Find lowest number that will EVENLY divide into both denominators
Less than Greater than • 3 5 • 4 8 Which is larger? or
Fractions • Adding Fractions • Find lowest common denominator • Use that denominator • Add the numerators • Reduce to lowest terms
Adding Fractions • 3 5 • 4 8 • 6 5 11 • 8 8 8
Subtracting Fractions • 3 5 • 4 8 • 6 5 1 • 8 8 8
Subtracting Continues • Subtracting a fraction from a whole number • 5 – ¼ =
Subtracting Continues 4 4/4 • 5 • - ¼ • 4 ¾ 3/4
Multiplying Fractions • 4 x 5 = 20 8 6 48
Dividing Fraction • Dividing Fractions • Invert (flip) 2nd fraction • multiply numerator • multiply denominator • simplify
Dividing Fraction Explains • 3 1 = 8 2 • 3 x 2 = 6 = 3 8 1 8 4
Metric rule • Reading metric rule • units of tenths • can be written as decimal or fraction
Metric rule Explains 0.2 0.7 1.0 1.6 2.1 2.7
Adding decimals • 4.561 • + 54.7 • 4.561 • + 54.7 = 59.261
Multiplying Decimals • Multiplying Decimals • Rule: answer must total number of decimal places in answer
Multiplying Decimals • 8.2 x 1.26 10332 (count 3 decimal places) = 10.332
Dividing decimals • Dividing decimals • if decimal in numerator, keep decimals in line • If decimal in denominator, move until right of units place. Must move same number of places for the numerator.
Rounding decimals • Rounding decimals • .5 or above, round up • .499999999999 or below, drop off
Calculators • Using calculators
Conversions • Conversion Processes • Decimal Percentages • Percentages Decimals
Conversion • decimals percentage = # x 100 • percentage decimals = # / 100
Conversion • Fractions decimals • set up as division problem. • Review questions • p. 2.36
Conversion • Converting decimals fractions • Setup with value over place value • Becomes fraction reduce
Conversion • Converting inches decimals • divide inches by 12 and place as decimal • Ex. 7” = _?_’ 7/12” = 0.583’
Angles acute right obtuse straight adjacent opposite Geometry
Shapes • Triangles – 180 , • equilateral • right • isosceles • scalene
Squares / Rectangles • 4 sides, right angles • diagonals • 360
Circles • 360 • circumference • diameter • radius
Pythagorean Theorem • a + b = c 2 2 2
Area • amount of space a shape takes up • measured in square in (sq in) or ft (sq ft)
Area • A (square) = l x w • A (rectangle) = l x w • A (circle) = Ii r • A (triangle) = ½bh 2
Area • find area 8’ 14’
