Flashcards

Fraction of an amount

Finding a part of a whole number. For instance, finding 1/4 of 20.

Multiplying/Dividing Fractions

Multiply fractions by multiplying numerators and denominators. Divide fractions by inverting the second fraction and multiplying.

Multiplying/Dividing Mixed Numbers

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions, then multiply or divide as with regular fractions.

Decimals <-> Fractions

Decimals can be written as fractions by using place value as the denominator (e.g., 0.1 = 1/10). Fractions can be converted by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Study Notes

  • Topics covered include fractions, decimals, percentages, geometry, sequences, and functions

Fraction of an Amount

  • Calculate a fraction of an amount by multiplying the amount by the fraction

Multiplying and Dividing Fractions

  • Multiply fractions by multiplying the numerators and denominators separately
  • Divide fractions by inverting the second fraction and then multiplying

Multiplying and Dividing Mixed Numbers

  • Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions before multiplying or dividing
  • Multiply or divide as with regular fractions

Converting Decimals to Fractions and Vice Versa

  • Convert decimals to fractions by placing the decimal over the appropriate power of 10
  • Simplify the fraction
  • Divide the numerator by the denominator to convert fractions to decimals

Ordering Decimals

  • Compare decimals by lining up the decimal points and comparing digits from left to right

Adding and Subtracting Decimals

  • Add or subtract decimals by lining up the decimal points and adding or subtracting digits in the same place value

Multiplying Decimals by Whole Numbers

  • Multiply decimals by whole numbers as if the decimal weren't there
  • Place the decimal point in the product so that it has the same number of decimal places as the original decimal

Dividing Decimals by Whole Numbers

  • Divide decimals by whole numbers as if the decimal weren't there
  • Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend

Making Decimal Calculations Easier

  • Round numbers to make calculations easier
  • Adjust the answer to compensate for the rounding

Types of Angles

  • Acute angles: less than 90 degrees
  • Right angles: exactly 90 degrees
  • Obtuse angles: greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees
  • Straight angles: exactly 180 degrees
  • Reflex angles: greater than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees

Angles of Triangles and Quadrilaterals

Lines of Symmetry

  • A line of symmetry divides a shape into two identical halves

Rotational Symmetry

  • Rotational symmetry is when a shape looks the same after a rotation of less than 360 degrees

Circle and Polygon

  • A circle is a round shape with all points equidistant from the center
  • A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides

Congruent Shapes

  • Congruent shapes are identical in size and shape

3D Shapes

  • Common 3D shapes include cubes, cuboids, spheres, cylinders, and cones

Generating Sequence. Term-to-Term Rule

  • A term-to-term rule defines how to get from one term in a sequence to the next

Sequence in Patterns

  • Patterns can generate sequences of numbers or shapes

Position-to-Term Rule. Finding Nth Term

  • A position-to-term rule defines how to find any term in a sequence based on its position
  • This is often expressed as a formula for the nth term

Function Machine

  • A function machine takes an input, applies a rule, and produces an output

Fractions, Decimals, Percentages

  • Fractions, decimals, and percentages are different ways of representing the same value

Percentage of an Amount

  • Calculate a percentage of an amount by multiplying the amount by the percentage as a decimal

Percentage Increase and Decrease

  • Calculate percentage increase or decrease by finding the difference between the new and original amounts, dividing by the original amount, and multiplying by 100

Percentage Change

  • Percentage change = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100
