Study Notes
Substitution
- Substitution in algebra involves replacing a variable in an expression or equation with a known value.
- This allows simplification of the expression or finding the value of a variable.
- Example: If x = 3 in the expression 2x + 5, substitute 3 for x: 2(3) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
Isolation
- Isolating a variable in an equation means getting that variable alone on one side of the equation.
- This is done through inverse operations on both sides to counteract operations on the variable.
- Example: To isolate x in x + 7 = 12, subtract 7 from both sides: x + 7 - 7 = 12 - 7; thus x = 5
Grade 6 Math Patterning
- Patterning involves identifying and describing sequences or patterns in numbers, shapes, or other elements.
- Examples include arithmetic sequences (adding a constant), geometric sequences (multiplying by a constant ratio), repeating patterns, and increasing/decreasing patterns.
- Understanding patterns helps predict future values or elements in a sequence.
- Arithmetic sequence example: 2, 5, 8, 11 (adding 3 each time)
- Geometric sequence example: 3, 6, 12, 24 (multiplying by 2 each time)
Algebra Equations
- An equation states that two expressions are equal, containing variables and numbers.
- Solving an equation finds the variable's value(s) that make the equation true.
- Methods for solving equations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.
- The goal is to isolate the variable on one side.
- Perform the same operation on both sides to keep the equation balanced.
- Equations may involve multiple steps. Track each step.
- Example: Solve 2x + 5 = 11.
- Subtract 5 from both sides: 2x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5; 2x = 6
- Divide both sides by 2: 2x / 2 = 6 / 2; x = 3
Connections Between Concepts
- Substitution, isolation, and solving equations build algebraic manipulation skills.
- Recognizing patterns reveals structure in algebraic expressions.
