Flashcards

What is a fraction?

A fraction is a part of a whole, expressed as a ratio of two numbers, the numerator and the denominator. The numerator represents the number of parts you have, and the denominator represents the total number of parts in the whole.

What are unlike fractions?

Fractions with different denominators are called unlike fractions.

How do you add or subtract unlike fractions?

To add or subtract unlike fractions, you need to find a common denominator, which is a denominator that is shared by both fractions. This is done by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the original denominators.

What is the LCM?

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. To find the LCM, list out the multiples of the denominators and identify the smallest number that appears in both lists.

How do you convert fractions?

To convert a fraction to an equivalent fraction with a different denominator, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. The value of the fraction remains the same, but the representation changes.

How do you simplify fractions?

To simplify a fraction, you need to find the greatest common factor (GCD) of the numerator and denominator and divide them by the GCD. This reduces the fraction to its lowest terms.

What are equivalent fractions?

Equivalent fractions represent the same portion of a whole but have different numerators and denominators. They are created by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same number.

Subtracting Decimals

Subtracting decimals follows the same principle as adding decimals. You line up the decimal points, subtract like whole numbers, and bring the decimal point down in the difference.

Multiplying Decimals

To multiply decimals, multiply the numbers as usual, ignoring the decimal points. Then, count the total number of digits to the right of the decimal points in the factors. Place the decimal point in the product the same number of places from the right.

Dividing Decimals

Dividing decimals involves moving the decimal in the divisor to make it a whole number. Then, move the decimal in the dividend the same number of places. Divide as usual and place the decimal in the quotient directly above the decimal in the dividend.

How do you round to the nearest tenth?

To round a number to the nearest tenth, look at the digit in the hundredths place. If it is 5 or greater, round the tenths digit up. If it is less than 5, keep the tenths digit the same. For example, rounding 14.235 to the nearest tenth rounds up to 14.3 because the hundredths digit, 3, is less than 5.

  • 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

  • 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.
