Study Notes

Problem Solving Strategies

To check an answer, an equation can be used to verify the calculation, for example, dividing 765 by 5 to find the number of boxes needed.

Unit Conversions

A small bag of birdseed has a mass of 2 kilograms, and a large bag has three times as many kilograms, so the combined mass can be calculated by converting both to grams.
1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams.

Prime Numbers

A prime number is a number that is only divisible by 1 and itself.
Both 11 and 29 are prime numbers.

Measurement

To find the length of a wooden board after cutting off a certain length, the original length and the length cut off can be subtracted.
The length of the remaining board can be calculated using subtraction, for example, 11 inches - 4 inches = 7 inches.

Equations

An equation can be used to represent a situation, for example, 239 ÷ 4 = 5 × 7 + 35.
The equation can be solved to find the unknown value.

Tables and Graphs

A table can be used to show the relationship between the number of boxes and the number of crayons.
The table can be used to calculate the number of crayons in a certain number of boxes, for example, 132 boxes.

Perimeter and Area

The perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated using the formula: perimeter = 2 × (length + width).
The length and width of a rectangle can be calculated using the perimeter and the formula.

Fractions

A fraction can be represented as a shaded part of a grid model.
The fraction can be compared to another decimal, for example, 0.67 is greater than 0.6.

Word Problems

A word problem can be solved using an equation, for example, finding the number of trees that can be planted with a budget of $936.
The equation can be used to find the unknown value, for example, the number of trees that can be planted.
