Equation

A mathematical sentence with an equal sign. The equal sign separates the left side from the right side. The amount on the left side of the equation is always equal to the amount on the right side.

                               
                                4  + 6 = 10

                                1 + 12 = 13

                                20 = 9 + 11

4.23    4.24    4.2    4.30    4.19

Answer :
4.30    4.24   4.23    4.20   4.19

Mixed number
A mixed number has 2 parts. First it has a whole number that is 2. Second, it has a fraction that is 4/5
Example of a mixed number


Formulas
Area and perimeter of a rectangle

Area  = length x width

Perimeter = 2 x length + 2 x width



Circle
In a circle, you can put points anywhere on the purple arc. These points will be at the same distance from the fixed black point called center.
Example of a circle


Tenths
The tenths place is shown in red. The 2 means that 2 parts are colored out of 10.

                      
                      8.29




Composite number
A number with more
than 2 factors. Factors
of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.
8 is a composite number
since it has 4 factors
or 4 numbers than
can divide it evenly

                 
         

         12, 9 and 8          
         
                                      



Factor pairs

A factor pair refers to
a set of two numbers
when multiplied will
yield a specific product.



            Factor pairs of 12
            are  (1,12), (2, 6),
            and (3, 4)

Number line
A straight line on which we put 0 and counting numbers

A number line from zero to seven


Reasonableness
There is no need to
do the math. Instead
use estimation to
eliminate answers that
are unreasonable.
50 times 30 = 1500,
therefore, the answer is 1551

             
       What is the product
            of 47  times  32?
            A. 4514    B. 1551
            C. 2947    D. 8114



Multiplicative comparison

Peter has 5 times 4 = 20. Together they have 20 + 4 = 24


                   John has 4 tennis ball.

                   Peter has 5 times as many
                   tennis ball as John.
                   How many tennis ball do
                   they have together?

20 + 4 = 24


 John has 4 tennis ball.  
  Peter has 5 times as
  many tennis ball as John.
  How many tennis ball do
  they have together?



Perimeter

Perimeter = 2 x length + 2 x width
                  =  2 x 6 + 2 x 2
                  =  12 + 4
                  = 16

Area          =  6 x 2 = 12
Rectangle with a length of six and a width of 2


Solve an equation

  What is the value
  of b in the equation
   below?
   5 + b = 12
   Since 5 + 7 = 12,
    b = 7




1 ounce
  • A slice of bread

  • A CD without the case
  • 2 or 3 strawberries depends on the size

Pattern:
What is the next
number in the list?

Decompose a fraction

    3/5  = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5

Decompose a fraction

    3/5  = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5



Example of prime numbers
A prime number is a number
that has only 2 factors, 1
and the number itself.
7 is a prime number because
only 1 and 7 can be
multiplied to get 7


        
           
           5, 7, and 13
