The content primarily covers various aspects of elementary mathematics instruction, such as expanded notation and word problems involving percentages. Expanded notation is illustrated through examples that decompose numbers into their constituent parts using addition and multiplication, as well as powers of ten.

Operations With Positive & Negative Integers

Addition and Subtraction

+3 + -2= +1 + + + - - two cancel out leaving +1

-6 + -2= -8 - - - - - - - - add 2 negative left with -8

+3 + -4= -1 + + + add - - - - you are left -1


-2+ -1= -3 - - - ass 1 negative left with -3

+4 - -2= +6 + + + + add zero pairs - + - + left with +6

Decimals: Comparing fractions, long division, repeating or terminating decimals bars in the correct place

Chip method

Percentage of different #s

Problem solving with fractions

Find least common multiple

Positive & Negative Integers

Make sure you put the bar over the repeating decimal in the right position.

Examples 1.636363 bar goes over 63

1.666666 bar goes over a 6


Research shows that a vertical number line helps students more than a horizontal number line.


Reminder multiplication is repeated addition 3x2 is 3 groups of 2


Chip method:

This method helps students understand the concept of positive and negative integers, using positive and negative chips.


If a problem calls for you to remove or add an integer that you don't have you can add zero pairs, basically a positive and a negative that cancel each other out.


In multiplication a negative times a negative is a positive. When you see the negative integer, your answer should have the opposite sign.


Also in multiplication when an equation starts with a negative integer, rearrange the equation so that the first number is positive.

Operations with Decimals

0.1= One tenth

0.01= One hundredth

0.101= One hundred one thousandths

0.001= One Thousandth

0.011= Eleven Thousandths


You can turn the decimal into a fraction to determine which one is smaller and multiplying by 10 if necessary to get equivalent fractions.


Be sure to line up the decimals when adding and subtracting to ensure all the digits get added to the correct place value. This needs to be emphasized to school children.


To subtract $5.00-$1.23 you tell your students to exchange $1 for 10 dimes and 1 dime for 10 pennies. When they remove $1, 2 dimes and three pennies they will see that they are left with $3.77


With multiplying, there is no need to line up the decimals when writing out the problem. After you complete the operation count the number of spaces after the decimal, that will tell you how many spaces over your decimal needs to be in your answer.


Percent means out of 100

3/100= 0.03= 3%


Fraction to percentage

2/3= 0.66= 66% 3 goes into 2 0.66 times

5/4= 5/4*20=100/80= 1.25= 125%

5/6= 0.832= 83.2% 6 goes into 5 .832 times

7 thousandths


Decimals separate the whole from the part. The decimal always sits to the right of a unit.


In money, the dollars are the unit and the decimal are the cent parts of the dollar.


Moving the decimal point to the right will show you how many dimes you need to have that specific amount.


3/10= 0.3= 30/100

3/100= 0.03

7/10= 0.70

12/100= 0.12

0.72= 72/100

Adding a zero to the decimal can help students understand the value 0.3= 0.30


Students who don't fully understand place value will make the mistake of thinking 0.73 is greater than 0.8. Adding the zero can help demonstrate that 0.73<.080

Same goes for digits like 0.125 and 0.9 0.900>0.125


Terminating decimals means it has no remainder. 0.125 is a terminating decimal.


Repeating decimals require a bar over the digits that repeat. Be sure to put the bar above the entire repeating number.


π is not a decimal because it does not stop or repeat any pattern, its considered an irrational #

Concepts and Properties of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division

Addition:

Identity Property:

When you add zero to any number that number's identity does not change. Example 7+0=7


Communitive Property: Order property

When you have 2 numbers and you add them, the order in which you add them does not matter 4+3=7 3+4=7


Associative Property: Grouping Property

Which means the way you ground them does not matter example (a+b)+c=d (a+c)+b=d


Multiplication:

Is grouping of things or numbers, example 3x2 is three groups of 2


Identity property applies to multiplication example 8x1=8


Communitive Property applies to multiplication, the order in which you multiply does not affect the outcome


Associative Property

Applies to multiplication (axb)c=(ax(bxc)


zero property:

Any number you multiply by zero is zero


Division is repeated subtraction

Word Problems with Percentages

1 In the United States, 13 out of every 20 cans are recycled. What percentage of cans are recycled?

13/20= 13*5/20*5=65/100=0.65= 65%


2 2% of Hamilton Middle School students have red hair. If there are 700 students how many have red hair.

700*0.02=14 also 2% of 100 is 2 for every 100 students, that means for 700 its 14 students.


There are 25 students in Ms. Johnson's class. In the class election 4 people voted for Ben, 12 voted for Sahil, 9 voted for Maria. What percentage voted for Maria?

Because there are 25 students you can just multiply the number of votes for each student by 4 and get the percentage.

Ben 4x4=16%

Sahil 4x12= 48%

Maria4x9=36%


Sophie eats a 50 gram chocolate bar which contains 30% cocoa. How many grams of cocoa are in the bar.

50*0.30=15 grams of cocoa


When a grizzly hibernates its heartbeat drops to 10 beats per minute which is 20% of the normal rate. How many times does a grizzly bears hear beat at a normal rate?

10/20*5=50/100 50 beats per minute


Of the 50 US states, 4 start with the letter W. What percentage of state start with the letter W?

4/50=8/100=0.08=8%


While waiting for a video game to download, you notice, 30% of the 32,000 kilobytes have been downloaded so far, how many kilobytes have been downloaded so far?

32,000*0.30= 9,600.00 downloaded kilobytes

Percentages

With decimals, you need to round number 5 or higher to the next whole.

To divide decimals you move the decimal of the divisor to the far right to make it a whole number, do the same to the dividend.


1 A student takes a test with 45 questions and gets 37 questions right. What is their percent on the test?

37/45= 0.822= 82.2%= 82%


2 A factory makes sandals. If they produce 820 sandals in a day and 32% of them are blue. How many are blue?

820X0.32= 262.40= 262 sandals are blue


There are three types of problems with %s

The easiest way to solve these problems is to turn them into an equation, remembering that:

"is" means =

"of" means X

"what" means variable n


11% of 45 is what number?

0.11x42=4.95


9% of what number is 17?

0.09 X n= 17 n= 17/0.09= 188

17 is what percent of 25? 25/17=0.68= 68%

Homework #7

1. If 1/3 cup sugar is needed to make two loaves of bread, how many cups of sugar are needed for three loaves? ½ cup of sugar

1/3 x 1/2= 1/6


 1/6 x 3/1= 3/6=1/2

First, I multiplied 1/3 by ½ to determine how much sugar is needed for a single loaf instead of 2 loaves. I got 1/6 I then multiplied that 1/6 by 3 to determine how much sugar is needed for three loaves and I got 3/6 which is ½ cup of sugar.


2.  When the least common denominator is used in adding or subtracting fractions, is the result always a fraction in its simplest form? Explain by giving examples.

You will not always have a simplified answer even when using the least common denominator. When adding fractions, the denominators must be the same, sometimes the least common denominator will result in multiplying both denominators so you may have to simplify. It also depends on what the numerator is as well. 


Examples:

5/6 – 1/3= 5/6 – 1/3(2/2)= 5/6- 2/6= 3/6= 1/2

1/3 + 1/12=1/3(4/4) + 1/12=4/12 + 5/12 =9/12 =3/4

*Ending of a number

*Sum of the digits

*Composite numbers have several factors

*Prime numbers only have 2 factors 1 and itself

*0 and 1 are not prime numbers


*When you add zero to any number, the number does not change.

0: The additive element

1: The multiplicative element

  1. Understand the problem.
  2. Devise a plan.
  3. Carry out the plan
  4. Take a look back and reflect

Taking a look at the work you did is the most important part of the plan. Not only does it confirm that the answer is correct put also that each step was completed properly
