Study Notes
Multiplication
- Definition: Multiplication is a way of repeated addition.
- Symbol: The multiplication symbol is × (times).
- Example: 2 × 3 = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6
-
Properties:
- Commutative Property: The order of the numbers being multiplied does not change the result. (e.g., 2 × 3 = 3 × 2)
- Associative Property: The order in which numbers are multiplied does not change the result. (e.g., (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4))
- Distributive Property: Multiplication can be distributed over addition. (e.g., 2 × (3 + 4) = 2 × 3 + 2 × 4)
- Real-world applications: Multiplication is used in everyday life, such as counting blocks, measuring ingredients, and calculating areas.
Division
- Definition: Division is the opposite of multiplication.
- Symbol: The division symbol is ÷ (divided by).
- Example: 6 ÷ 2 = 3 (because 2 × 3 = 6)
-
Properties:
- Inverse Operation: Division is the inverse operation of multiplication.
- Remainders: In division, the remainder is the amount left over after dividing. (e.g., 7 ÷ 2 = 3 with a remainder of 1)
- Real-world applications: Division is used in everyday life, such as sharing toys, dividing a pizza, and measuring time.
Fractions
- Definition: A fraction is a way to represent part of a whole.
- Symbol: A fraction is written as a numerator (top number) over a denominator (bottom number), separated by a horizontal line.
- Example: 1/2 (one half)
-
Types of fractions:
- Proper fractions: The numerator is less than the denominator. (e.g., 1/2)
- Improper fractions: The numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. (e.g., 3/2)
- Mixed numbers: A combination of a whole number and a proper fraction. (e.g., 1 1/2)
-
Operations with fractions:
- Equivalence: Two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same amount. (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4)
- Addition and subtraction: Fractions can be added or subtracted by finding a common denominator.
- Multiplication: Fractions can be multiplied by multiplying the numerators and denominators separately.
- Division: Fractions can be divided by inverting the second fraction (i.e., flipping the numerator and denominator) and then multiplying.
