Study Notes

Fractions

  • A fraction represents a part of a whole
  • Consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number)
  • Example: 1/2, 3/4
  • Equivalent fractions: fractions that have the same value, but different numbers (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4)

Decimals

  • A decimal is a way to represent a fraction as a number with a fractional part
  • Example: 0.5, 0.25
  • Decimals can be converted to fractions and vice versa
  • Compare decimals by comparing their fractional parts

Percentages

  • A percentage is a way to represent a fraction as a number out of 100
  • Example: 25%, 50%
  • Percentages can be converted to decimals and fractions, and vice versa
  • Calculate percentages by dividing by 100 (e.g., 25/100 = 0.25 = 25%)

Geometry

  • Basic shapes: square, rectangle, triangle, circle, hexagon
  • Properties of shapes:
    • Number of sides
    • Number of vertices (corners)
    • Type of angles (acute, obtuse, right)
  • Identify and classify shapes based on their properties

Multi-digit Multiplication

  • Multiply multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm
  • Multiply each digit of the multiplier by the multiplicand, then add up the products
  • Example: 43 × 17 = ?

Multiple Digit Addition and Subtraction

  • Add or subtract multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm
  • Add or subtract each column of digits, carrying or borrowing as necessary
  • Example: 456 + 279 = ?, 945 - 357 = ?

2-digit Multiplication

  • Multiply 2-digit numbers using the standard algorithm
  • Multiply each digit of the multiplier by the multiplicand, then add up the products
  • Example: 24 × 17 = ?

Division

  • Divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm
  • Divide each digit of the dividend by the divisor, then write the quotient
  • Example: 432 ÷ 12 = ?
  • Remainders: the amount left over after dividing
  • Example: 17 ÷ 5 = 3 with a remainder of 2

Fractions

  • A fraction is a way to represent a part of a whole
  • It consists of a numerator (top number) and a denominator (bottom number)
  • Examples of fractions include 1/2, 3/4, and 2/3
  • Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value, but different numbers (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4)

Decimals

  • A decimal is a way to represent a fraction as a number with a fractional part
  • Examples of decimals include 0.5, 0.25, and 3.14
  • Decimals can be converted to fractions and vice versa

Percentages

  • A percentage is a way to represent a fraction as a number out of 100
  • Examples of percentages include 25%, 50%, and 75%
  • Percentages can be converted to decimals and fractions, and vice versa
  • Percentages can be calculated by dividing by 100 (e.g., 25/100 = 0.25 = 25%)

Geometry

  • Decimals represent fractions with a denominator of 10, 100, 1000, etc., and can be written in expanded form (e.g., 0.5 = 5/10) or word form (e.g., five tenths)
  • Comparing and ordering decimals can be done using a number line or by comparing digits
  • Decimals can be added and subtracted by aligning the decimal points

Fractions

  • Fractions represent a part of a whole and can be written in simplest form (e.g., 2/4 = 1/2)
  • Equivalent fractions have the same value but different numerators and denominators (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6)
  • Comparing and ordering fractions can be done using a number line or by comparing numerators and denominators
  • Fractions can be added and subtracted by finding a common denominator

Percentages

  • Percentages are fractions with a denominator of 100 and can be written as decimals (e.g., 25% = 0.25) or fractions (e.g., 25% = 1/4)
  • Percentages can be used to show increase or decrease (e.g., 25% increase = 1.25 times the original amount)
  • The formula for calculating percentages is (part/whole) x 100

Geometry

  • Basic geometric concepts include points, lines, and planes
  • Angles can be classified as acute (less than 90°), right (90°), obtuse (greater than 90°), or straight (180°)
  • Shapes can be classified as 2D (e.g., triangles, quadrilaterals) or 3D (e.g., cubes, rectangular prisms)
  • Perimeter is the distance around a shape, while area is the amount of space inside a shape

Division

  • Division is the inverse operation of multiplication
  • Division can be represented using arrays or the standard algorithm
  • The standard algorithm involves dividing the dividend by the divisor and finding the quotient and remainder
  • Division can be used to solve real-world problems (e.g., sharing a certain number of items among a group of people)
