Order of Operations
Order of operations states that when no parentheses are present, multiplications and divisions are performed before additions and subtractions (from left-to-right).
ex: 8-9/3*2+3
8-9/3*2+3 = 8-3*2+3
= 8-6+3
= 2+3
= 5

Relating Multiplication and Division as Inverse Operations
Division with remainder zero is the inverse of multiplication, similar to how subtraction is the inverse of addition. In addition to this, repeated subtraction is the inverse of repeated addition.
ex: 6*5=30 5*6=30 30/5=6 30/6=5
Division by 0 and 1
Division by 0 follows 3 rules:
ex:
3/0 = undefined
0/3 = 0
Division by 1 follows the definition of division:
- n/1=n
ex:
3/1 = 3
1/1 = 1
0/1 = 0
The Division Algorithm
The division algorithm states that given any whole numbers a and b with b=/=0, there exist unique whole numbers q (quotient) and r (remainder) such that a=bq+r with 0<=r<b.
ex: 32/6 q=5 r=2
32=6*5+2 with 0<=2<6
Whole Number Division Properties
Whole number division properties include none since the set of whole numbers is not closed under division.
ex: 27/5 5c=27
No whole number c satisfies this equation; 27/5 has no meaning in the set of whole numbers.
Missing-Factor Model
The missing-factor model states that for any whole numbers a and b, with b=/=0, a/b=c if, and only if, c is the unique whole number such that b*c=a.
ex: 18 cookies to share between 3 friends
If each friend receives c cookies, then the 3 friends receive 3c, or 18, cookies; 3c=18; because 3*6=18, c=6.
Set (Partition) Model
The set (partition) model is for finding an unknown group's size.
ex: 18 cookies to share between 3 friends
18
OOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOO
OOOOOO OOOOOO OOOOOO
6 6 6
18/3=6

ex: 8(5-2)=(8*5)-(8*2)
Cartesian-Product Model
The Cartesian-product model is portrayed as a tree diagram or a table, showing all possible combinations of items. Each set may be written as an ordered pair, forming the Cartesian product B*C. For finite sets A and B, if n(A)=a and n(B)=b, then a*b=n(A*B). A*B indicates the Cartesian product; numbers are multiplied & sets are not.
ex:
Condiment
B | m c h
r |d | dm dc dh
e | l | lm lc lh
a |
d |
Rectangular-Array and Area Models
An array is used in multiplication when objects are arranged with the same numbers of objects in each row and column.
ex: OOOO
OOOO
OOOO
In an area model, lines cross to form intersection points, forming an array of points, or a grid.
ex: ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋
╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋
╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋
╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋
╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋ ╋

Understanding Subtraction in Bases Other than Ten
Understanding subtraction in bases other than ten is simple since subtraction facts for other bases can be derived using the definition of subtraction.
ex: 12(five)-4(five)=c if c+4(five)=12(five)
The equal-additions algorithm and other algorithms used in base-ten equations can be used in other bases, as well.
ex: 432(five)-43(five)
432(five) 432(five)+2 434(five)
- 43(five) --> - (43(five)+2) --> - 100(five)
334(five)
Trades-First Algorithm
The trades-first algorithm is similar to the standard algorithm, except all regrouping is done first, prior to any subtraction is performed.

8 5
Counting-Up Algorithm
The counting-up algorithm is also known as the "making change" method. It is performed using mental math and is based on the missing addend model.
ex: 100-31
31+ [9] =40
40+ [60] =100
9+60=69
Equal Additions Algorithm
The equal additions algorithm is based on the fact that the difference between two numbers does not change if we add the same amount to both numbers.

Concrete model:
243: ▦ ▦ llll ...
trading: ▦ --> lllll lllll
▦ llll ...
243-61: ▦ lllll lll (ll llll) .. (.)

182
Using Whole Number Addition and Subtraction in Equations
Using whole number addition and subtraction in equations requires that a value which makes an equation true be a solution to that equation.
ex:
9+5=O and 12-O=4 <-true/false depending on the value of O.
Whole Number Subtraction Properties
Whole number subtraction properties include none since the set of whole numbers is not closed under subtraction; if a<b, then a-b is not meaningful in the set of whole numbers.

The comparison model is used by determining how many more a is than b.
ex: 8-3=5
8
OOOOOOOO
OOO ^-------^
3 5

3 2
<------><-->
5
<------------>
<-0-1-2-3-4-5->
Take-Away Model
The take-away model is when a subset is being taken away from a primary set.

Mental computation is the process of producing an answer to a computation without using physical computation aids. Consider several algorithms for mental computation:
Understanding Addition in Bases Other than Ten
Understanding addition in bases other than ten is necessary as it provides valuable insight into computation in base ten. The use of multibase blocks aids in this understanding and building an addition table for different bases.
ex:

+1 +10
189 ---> 190 ----> 200
-1 -10
278 ---> 277 ----> +267
467
Lattice Algorithm
In the lattice algorithm, single-digit numbers on top are added by place value to the single-digit numbers on bottom, and the results are recorded in a lattice. Then, the sums are added along the diagonals and written along the bottom.
ex:
3 5 6 7
+ 5 6 7 8
|0/|1/|1/|1/|
|/8|/1|/3|/5|
9 2 4 5
Partial-Sums Algorithm
In the partial-sums algorithm, one must first compute all sums, one place value at a time, then add all partial sums to find the total sum. This algorithm emphasizes place value.

<----------------->
4 3
<---------><----->
<-0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7->

n(A) = 4 n(B) = 3
A: OO B: OO
OO O
A+B: OOOO
OOO
n(A+B) = 7
Base Twelve
Base twelve is also called the duodecimal (dozens) system. It has 12 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, T, and E.
ex: 19, 1T, 1E, 20,..., 29, 2T, 2E, 30,...
Base Two
Base two was used by early tribes and by some aboriginal tribes still today. It is called the binary system because it has only two digits, 0 and 1.
ex: 2^4 = 16, 2^3 = 8, 2^2 = 4, 2^1 = 2, 2^0 = 1
Base Five
Base five was used by the Luo peoples of Kenya and was referred to as the quinary system. The counting digits included: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Usage of the subscript five is vital, because if no base is written, a numeral is assumed to be in base-ten.
Base five blocks:
1 block = 125 units
1 flat = 25 units
1 long = 5 units
1 unit = 1 unit
ex: 34(five) + 1 = 40(five)
Hindu-Arabic Numeration System
Hindu-Arabic Numeration System was developed by the Hindus and transported to Europe by the Arabs. It relies on the following two properties:
Because it is based on powers of 10, it is called a base-ten or decimal system.
ex: 65,984
6 - ten thousand = 60,000 (10^4)
5 - thousand = 5,000 (10^3)
9 - hundred = 900 (10^2)
8 - ten = 80 (10^1)
4 - one = 4 (1)
Mayan Numeration System
Mayan numeration system used only 3 symbols, representing numbers 0, 1, and 5. They were the first to introduce a symbol for zero.
ex: 1, 20, 20*18, 20^2*18, 20^3*18
Numerals
Numerals are defined as figures, symbols, or a group of these denoting a number.
ex: 2 or 5
"How Many Groups?" Method
The "how many groups?" method is done by counting how many groups there are and finding the unknown number of groups.
Outline 0.27 and color groups of 0.04. Then end up with six groups of 0.04 and a remainder of 0.03. Since 0.04 is four hundredths shaded and there are three hundredths remaining in 0.27, three out of four fit, or 0.03 out of a group of 0.04 fit;
0.03 out of 0.04 = (0.03/0.04) * (100/100) = ¾ = 0.75
0.27 / 0.04 = 6.75
Partition (Equal Groups) Method
The partition (equal groups) method is done by dividing a number into equal groups and finding the unknown group size.
ex: 0.54 / 3 = 0.18
Outline 0.54 and then divide the columns (tenths) into three equal groups and each group has one tenth. Then divide the remaining squares (twenty-four hundredths) into three equal groups and each group has 8 hundredths. Each group uses exactly eighteen squares, so 0.54 / 3 = 0.18.
Using Estimation to Place Decimal Point
To use estimation in placing the decimal point, ignore the decimal points and do the multiplication or division as if all numbers were whole numbers. When finished, place the decimal point in the result by estimation.
ex: 8.2 * 2.63 = 21.566
263
x 82
21566 8 * 2 = 16 8 * 3 = 24
Multiplying Decimals Algorithm
The multiplying decimals algorithm is as follows: if there are n digits to the right of the decimal point in one number and m digits to the right of the decimal point in a second number, multiply the two numbers, ignoring the decimals, and then place the decimal point so that there are n+m digits to the right of the decimal point in the product.
ex: 4.62 * 2.4 = 11.088
462
x 24
11088
Rounding Decimals
Rounding decimals is possible when it is not necessary to know the exact answer.
ex: 7.456 to the nearest hundredth = 7.46
7.456 to the nearest tenth = 7.5
7.456 to the nearest unit = 7
7456 to the nearest thousand = 7000
745 to the nearest ten = 750
74.56 to the nearest ten = 70
Mental Computation
Some tools used for mentally computing whole numbers may also work with rational numbers.
ex:
⎝ ⎠
4.5 + 0.7 + 4.48
⎝ ⎠
5.2 + 4.48
⎝ ⎠
9.2 + 0.48 = 9.68
4.09___⎠
3.85 ⎯ + 4
+ 0.15 _⎠16
⎯⎯⎯
+ 3.27 = 3.75 + 0.04
13.00+0.06=13.06
- 1.97 or...
4.63 + 0.03 = 4.66
- (1.97 + 0.03) = - 2.00
2.66
Adding & Subtracting Decimals by Writing as Fractions
To add and subtract decimals, change the problem to one that's easier to solve, by writing it as a sum of fractions.
ex: 2.16 + 1.73 = (2 + 1⁄10 + 6⁄100) + (1 + 7⁄10 + 3⁄100)
= (2 + 1) + (1⁄10 + 7⁄10) + (6⁄100 + 3⁄100)
= 3 + 8⁄10 + 9⁄100
= 3.89
Adding & Subtracting Decimals Using Base-Ten Blocks
To add and subtract decimals using base-ten blocks, one must state what they are using for their whole.
ex: 1 flat = 1 whole
▦▦ l ......
2 1⁄10 6⁄100 = 2.16
▦ lllllll ...
1 7⁄10 3⁄100 = + 1.73
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
▦▦▦ llllllll .........
3 8⁄10 9⁄100 = 3.89
Terminating Decimals
A terminating decimal is a number that can be written with a finite number of places to the right of the decimal point.
A rational number a/b in simplest form can be written as a terminating decimal if, and only if, the prime factorization of the denominator contains no primes other than 2 or 5.
ex: Is 7⁄8 a terminating decimal?
Yes, since 8 has 2^3 as its only factor.
ex: Is 8⁄14 a terminating decimal?
No, since 14 has factors 2 and 7.
Scale
Scale is the ratio of the size of the drawing to the size of the object.
ex: if the scale is 1:300, then 1 cm represents 300 cm or 3 m
Unit Rate Strategy
The unit rate strategy is a strategy for solving proportions by identifying and using the constant of proportionality.
ex: 12 tickets for $15 (1 ticket = $1.25)
20 tickets for $23 (1 ticket = $1.15)
Constant of Proportionality
If the variables x and y are related by the equality y = kx (or k = y / x), then y is proportional to x and k is the constant of proportionality between y and x.
ex: 1⁄20 = 2⁄40 = 3⁄60 = 4⁄80
^ 1⁄20 is the constant of proportionality for the above ratios
Multiplicative Relationships
A multiplicative relationship is when a problem presents a proportion which may be solved using multiplication.
ex: Carl can type 8 pages for every 4 pages that Dan can type. If Dan has typed 12 pages, how many pages has Carl typed?
Since Carl types twice as fast as Dan, he will type twice as many pages as Dan. Therefore, when Dan has typed 12 pages, Carl has typed 24 pages.
Additive Relationships
An additive relationship is when a problem presents a proportion which may be solved using addition.
ex: Allie and Bente type at the same speed. Allie started typing first. When Allie had typed 8 pages, Bente had typed 4 pages. When Bente has typed 10 pages, how many has Allie typed?
Students should reason that since the two people type at the same speed, when Bente has typed an additional 6 pages, Allie should have also typed an additional 6 pages, so she should have typed 8+6, or 14, pages.
Proportion
A proportion is a statement that two given ratios are equal.
ex: 2⁄3 = 4⁄6
Comparison Model
The comparison model is a bar model which is useful for visualizing proportional multiplication and division.
ex: 1 unit = 14, 1 whole = 4 * 14 = ?
⎕⎕⎕⎕ 4 * 14 = 56
⎕
14
ex: 1 whole = 48, 1 unit = ?
⎕⎕⎕⎕⎕⎕ 48 48 / 6 = 8
⎕
?
Part-Whole Model
The part-whole model is a bar model which is useful for visualizing proportional addition and subtraction.
ex: 6 red marbles and 5 blue marbles altogether
part part
🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟦🟦🟦🟦🟦
^-------------------------------^
whole
Ratio
A ratio is denoted as a/b or a:b, where a and b are rational numbers; a comparison of two quantities.
ex: 1:3 boys to girls in a class
Part-to-whole comparison: 1:4 boys to children
Whole-to-part comparison: 4:1 children to boys
Part-to-part comparison: 1:3 boys to girls
Estimation
The same mental math & estimation strategies used with whole numbers may be applied to rational numbers, as well.
ex: 3 1⁄4 * 7 8⁄9
Rounding: 3 * 8 = 24
Range Strategy: between 3 * 7 = 21 & 4 * 8 = 32
ex: 24 5⁄7 * 4 1⁄8
Compatible Numbers: 24 / 4 = 6 or 25 / 5 = 5
Equal Denominators Algorithm
The equal denominators algorithm is an alternate algorithm for division of rational numbers, which is done by first dividing fractions that have equal denominators.
ex: 2⁄3 / 4⁄7 = 14⁄21 / 12⁄21 = 14⁄12
Invert-&-Multiply Algorithm
The invert-&-multiply algorithm means to use the reciprocal of a given rational number and multiply, when asked to divide by a rational number.
ex: 2⁄3 / 5⁄7 = 7⁄5 * 2⁄3 = 2⁄3 * 7⁄5
Division of Rational Numbers
The division of rational numbers can be shown with an area model, on a ruler, or on a number line.
ex: 6 / 3 = 2
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
1⁄2⏀1⁄2 1⁄2⏀1⁄2 1⁄2⏀1⁄2
The Fundamental Law of Fractions is "a/b = (an/bn) if b =/= 0, n =/= 0".
ex: 1⁄2 = (1*3)/(2*3)
Multiplication with Mixed Numbers
Multiplication with mixed numbers can be done by changing them to improper fractions (a) first or using the distributive property (b).
ex. a: 2 1⁄2 * 2 1⁄2 = 5⁄2 * 5⁄2 = 25⁄4
ex. b: 2 1⁄2 * 2 1⁄2 = (2 + 1⁄2)(2 + 1⁄2)
= (2 + 1⁄2) 2 + (2 + 1⁄2) 1⁄2
= 2 * 2 + 1⁄2 * 2 + 2 * 1⁄2 + 1⁄2 * 1⁄2
= 4 + 1 +1 + 1⁄4
= 6 + 1⁄4
= 6 1⁄4
Properties of Multiplication of Rational Numbers
Theorem 6-10 (Multiplicative Property): the rational number 1 is the unique number such that for every rational number a/b, 1 * (a/b) = a/b = (a/b) * 1.
ex: 1 * (1⁄2) = 1⁄2 = (1⁄2) * 1
Theorem 6-11 (Distributive Property): let a/b, c/d, and e/f be any rational numbers, then (a/b)(c/d + e/f) = (a/b) * (c/d) + (a/b) * (e/f) and (a/b)(c/d - e/f) = (a/b) * (c/d) - (a/b) * (e/f).
