Study Notes

Basic Fractions

  • A fraction represents a part of a whole.
  • The numerator is the number of shaded or unshaded pieces.
  • The denominator is the total number of pieces.
  • Zero can never be a denominator.

Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions

  • Mixed numbers have a whole number part and a fraction part.
  • To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction: Multiply the denominator by the whole number, then add the numerator. The denominator does not change.
  • To convert an improper fraction to a mixed number: Divide the numerator by the denominator. The dividend becomes the whole number, the remainder the numerator and the denominator does not change.

Equivalent Fractions

  • To create equivalent fractions, multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Adding Fractions

  • Add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Ensure a common denominator before adding.

Multiplying Fractions

  • Multiply the numerators to get the new numerator.
  • Multiply the denominators to get the new denominator.
  • Simplify the answer when possible.

Dividing Fractions

  • Invert the second fraction (flip the numerator and denominator).
  • Multiply the fractions as usual.

Geometry Formulas

  • Perimeter (P): The distance around a two-dimensional figure.
  • Area (A): The amount of space inside a two-dimensional figure.
  • Volume (V): The amount of space a three-dimensional figure occupies. (volume = length x width x height)

Operations with Decimals

  • Adding/Subtracting Decimals: Line up the decimal points and add/subtract as usual, then bring the decimal straight down.
  • Multiplying Decimals: Multiply as usual, then count the digits behind the decimals in the problem to decide how many digits to place behind the decimal in the answer.
  • Dividing Decimals: Move the decimal in the divisor to make it a whole number. Then move the decimal in the dividend by the same number of places. Divide as usual.

Measurement Conversions

  • Know the common conversions between units of measurement (e.g., inches to feet, feet to yards, etc., meters to kilometers, etc.)

Rounding

  • Students should be able to explain and reason about rounding.
  • Understand place value.
  • Use a number line to help with rounding.
  • The digits to the right of the rounding digit change to zero.
  • If the rounding digit is 5 or greater, add 1 to the digit to the left.

Order of Operations

  • Use the acronym PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction) to determine the order of operations.

Data Analysis (Line Plots)

  • Displays data on a number line.
  • Shows the frequency of data values.

Algebraic Thinking

  • Understand and apply the order of operations
  • Solve simple expressions

Multiplying and Dividing Whole Numbers

  • Apply Standard Algorithm
  • Solve simple word problems.

Comparing Numbers

  • Compare the digits from left to right to decide which number is larger.

Multiplying and Dividing decimals

  • apply area model, partial products, etc.
  • apply appropriate algorithms to obtain the correct answers.
