    Study Notes

    Numbers and Counting

    • Numbers represent quantities or positions.
    • Counting determines the quantity of objects.
    • Numbers order objects or events.
    • Systems like decimals or binary are used for counting.
    • Numbers can be expressed as words, digits, or symbols.

    Addition and Subtraction

    • Addition combines numbers to find the total.
    • Subtraction finds the difference by removing one number from another.
    • Addition and subtraction are inverse operations.
    • Examples: 5 + 3 = 8, 8 - 3 = 5
    • Essential for more advanced math.

    Multiplication and Division

    • Multiplication is repeated addition (shortcut).
    • Finds totals in equal groups.
    • Division is the opposite of multiplication.
    • Separates a total into equal groups.
    • Examples: 3 x 4 = 12, 12 ÷ 3 = 4
    • Critical for real-world problem-solving.

    Fractions

    • Fractions represent parts of a whole.
    • Written as numerator (top) over denominator (bottom).
    • Numerator shows the considered parts.
    • Denominator shows total equal parts.
    • Example: 1/2 (one-half)
    • Can be simplified to lowest terms.

    Decimals

    • Decimals represent parts of a whole (like fractions).
    • Decimal point separates whole and fractional parts.
    • Example: 0.5 = 1/2
    • Used for measurements and money.

    Shapes and Measurement

    • Geometry studies shapes (circles, squares, triangles).
    • Shape properties (angles, sides, vertices) help describe them.
    • Measurement finds the size or amount.
    • Common measurements: length, area, volume, time.
    • Tools like rulers, protractors, and scales are used.

    Patterns and Sequences

    • Patterns are repeated sequences of numbers, shapes, or objects.
    • Sequences are ordered lists with specific rules.
    • Identifying patterns helps predict future values.
    • Examples: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (increasing even numbers); AABBCC color pattern.

    Problem Solving

    • Understanding the problem, identifying data, choosing operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), and checking the answer are crucial.
    • Break down complex problems into smaller steps.
    • Diagrams or drawings aid visualization.

    Order of Operations

    • PEMDAS/BODMAS order is essential for accurate calculations.
    • Parentheses/brackets first, then exponents, multiplication/division (left-to-right), and addition/subtraction (left-to-right).

    Place Value

    • Place value shows a digit's value based on its position.
    • Each place (ones, tens, hundreds,…) has a specific value.
    • Understanding is vital for reading, writing, and comparing numbers.
