as division leads to decimals

any number that can be written in the form a/b where a,b E integers

Divisibility
a is divisble by b
b is a divisor of a
a is a multiple of b
b is a factor of a
Sets
Complement of a Set
Universal Set

contains all elements being considered in a given discussion

Empty Set

Contains no elements, cardinal number 0

Equivalent Sets

exsist in a one-to-one correspondence between the sets

Subset

All elements that are in A are in B

Proper Subset

for all sets A & B, B ps of A written B C A all elemnts that are in B are in A and there is atleast on elemnt of A that is not in B

Communitive

Cartesian Product Context

characterized by finding all possible paring between two or more sets of objects

Area Model

characterized by a product of two numbers representing the sides od a rectanglar region such that the product represents the number of unit sized squares with in the rectangular region

Continuous

characterized by repeatedly adding a quanity of continuous quantities a specified number of times

Discrete

Repeated Addition

Geometric Sequence with each successive term from the second on obtained from the previous term by the multiplication of a fixed non zero number, the ratio
Venn Diagrams
Division
Array Division
Column Division
Partial-Quotients Method
Scaffolding Method
Measurement(repeated subtraction)

Know: quantitu starting with & size of each group

Find: number of groups

characterized by using a given quantity to create groups (partitions) of a specifed size (amount) and determining the number of groups (partituns) that are formed

Partitun(equal sharing model)

Know: quantity starting with & number of groups

Find: Size of each group

characterized by distributing a given quantity among a specified number of groups (partitun) and determing the size(amount) in each group or (partitun)

Color Patterns
Fractions
simplified fractions
improper frations & mixed numbers

disadvantages to improper fractions

use mult/div within problem

more oppurtunity for mistake-converting between two forms

work with larger numbers

advantages to improper fractions

process is similar to mult/div of fractions

looks like part-whole context-not distracted

no regrouping needed of the fraction

any number that can be expressed as the quotient of two integers a/b

multiple interpertations

Proportional Reasoning

unitizing

compare appropriate units

Quantities and how they change

Relative Thinking

multiplictive thinking

Rational numbers

Ratio Sense

Proportion

as a analogy: a is to b as c is to d

a:b :: c:d

a:b = c:d

a:b as c:d

two ratios are equal

ratio

a quantitative relationship showing the number of times one vaule contains or is contained within another value

comaping two quantites regardless of whether the unit are the same

if units happen to be differnt this is typically referred to as a RATE

may look like a fraction

comparing two separate things

2/3 the ratio of boys to girls

copies of a unit fraction (accompaniement to part-whole)

2/3 is two copies of the unit fraction 1/3

division

repeated subtraction

find number of groups

know size of group

partitun (long divison)

find size of partitun

know number of groups/partitun

the fraction bar eventually becomes an alternate tool for indicating division

part-whole (most common)

2/3 represents 2 parts of a whole that was divided into 3 parts

Base Blocks
Subtraction

Inverse of addition

Missing Addend

characterized by the need to determine what quanitity must be added to a specified number to reach some targeted amount

Comparison

characterized by a compaison of the relative sizes of two quantites and determing either how much larger or how much smaller one quanitity is than the other

Take-away

characterized by starting with some inital quantity and removing or taking away a specified amount

For any whole numbers a and b such that a>b, a-b is unique whole number c such that b+c+a

Addition

Table

diagonally numbers appear in bands all possible ways to add two numbers

Ways to Add

Any column first

Left-to-Right Method

Low Stress Method

Scratch Method

Lattice Method

Arithmetic Sequence with each successive term from the second on obtained from the previous term by the addition or subtraction of a fixed number, the differnce

let A & B be two disjoint finite sets. If n(A)=a and n(B)=b; then a+b=n(A U B)
