Study Notes
Fractions
- A fraction is a way to show part of a whole.
- It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number).
- The numerator tells how many equal parts we have, and the denominator tells how many parts the whole is divided into.
- Equivalent fractions: fractions that have the same value, but different numbers (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4).
- Simple fractions: fractions with a numerator of 1 (e.g., 1/2, 1/3).
- Fractions can be used to represent real-life situations, such as sharing toys or dividing a pizza.
Decimals
- A decimal is a way to show a fraction as a number with a point.
- Decimals can be used to represent fractions with denominators of 10, 100, or 1000.
- Decimals can be used in real-life situations, such as measuring the length of an object or calculating the cost of an item.
- Decimals can be converted to fractions by dividing the decimal number by the place value (e.g., 0.5 = 5/10).
Perimeter
- The perimeter is the distance around a shape.
- The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by adding the lengths of all its sides.
- The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: P = 2L + 2W, where L is the length and W is the width.
- The perimeter of other shapes, such as triangles and circles, can be found using different formulas.
Shapes
- Basic shapes: square, rectangle, triangle, circle, and hexagon.
- Properties of shapes:
- Square: all sides are equal, all angles are right angles.
- Rectangle: opposite sides are equal, all angles are right angles.
- Triangle: sum of angles is 180 degrees.
- Circle: all points are equal distance from the center.
- Hexagon: six sides, internal angles are 120 degrees each.
- Real-life examples of shapes, such as buildings, bridges, and everyday objects.
Word Problems
- Word problems involve using math to solve real-life situations.
- Steps to solve a word problem:
- Read the problem carefully.
- Identify the key information and the question being asked.
- Choose the correct operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division).
- Solve the problem using the correct operation.
- Check the answer to make sure it makes sense.
- Examples of word problems:
- "Tom has 15 pencils in his pencil case. He gives 3 to his friend. How many pencils does Tom have left?"
- "A bookshelf has 5 shelves, and each shelf can hold 8 books. How many books can the bookshelf hold in total?"
