Study Notes
1st Grade Math Equations
Addition
- Concept: Combining two or more numbers to get a total.
-
Examples:
- 1 + 1 = 2
- 5 + 3 = 8
-
Strategies:
- Counting on fingers
- Using number lines
- Creating visual aids (like blocks or drawings)
Basic Math Symbols
- + : Addition symbol (plus)
- = : Equality symbol (equals)
- - : Subtraction symbol (minus, though less emphasized in first grade)
-
Example equations:
- 2 + 2 = 4
- 3 + 5 = 8
Word Problems
- Concept: Math equations presented in a narrative format, requiring comprehension and problem-solving.
-
Key Steps:
- Read the problem carefully.
- Identify the numbers involved.
- Determine what the question is asking.
- Write the equation based on the information.
-
Example:
- "If you have 3 apples and you get 2 more, how many apples do you have?"
- Equation: 3 + 2 = 5
- Answer: 5 apples total.
- "If you have 3 apples and you get 2 more, how many apples do you have?"
Addition
- Combining two or more numbers to get a total.
- Examples: 1 + 1 = 2, 5 + 3 = 8.
Strategies for Addition
- Counting on fingers.
- Using number lines.
- Creating visual aids, such as blocks or drawings.
Basic Math Symbols
- + : Plus sign for addition.
- = : Equals sign indicating equality.
- - : Minus sign for subtraction (less emphasis in first grade).
Word Problems
- Math problems presented in a narrative format requiring comprehension and problem-solving.
- Key Steps:
- Read the problem carefully.
- Identify the numbers involved.
- Determine the question being asked.
- Write the equation based on the information.
- Example:
- "If you have 3 apples and you get 2 more, how many apples do you have?"
- Equation: 3 + 2 = 5
- Answer: 5 apples total.
Addition
- Combining two or more numbers to find a total, called the sum.
- Single-digit addition involves numbers from 0 to 9.
- Example: 3 + 2 = 5
- The order in which you add numbers doesn't change the result (commutative property).
- Example: 3 + 2 = 2 + 3
- The way you group numbers being added doesn't affect the sum (associative property).
- Example: (3 + 2) + 1 = 3 + (2 + 1)
Word Problems
- Mathematical problems presented in a story format.
- Key to solving word problems:
- Understand the story and identify the numbers involved.
- Determine which operation (addition) is needed.
- Perform the operation.
- Write a complete answer.
- Example: If Tom has 3 apples and buys 2 more, he now has 3 + 2 = 5 apples.
- Key to solving word problems:
Number Line
- A line with numbers placed in their correct position.
- Visualizes addition by counting forward.
- To use a number line:
- Start at the first number.
- Move to the right for addition.
- Each step represents adding 1.
- Example: To solve 4 + 3, start at 4 and move 3 steps to the right, landing on 7.
- Number lines combine visual representation with numerical operations.
