Study Notes
Number Sense
Number Patterns
- The ability to recognize and create patterns using numbers
- Examples:
- Counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, etc.
- Identifying patterns in sequences (e.g., 2, 5, 8, 11, 14)
- Creating number patterns using shapes or colors
Ordering Numbers
- The ability to arrange numbers in a logical order
- Examples:
- Ordering numbers from least to greatest (e.g., 3, 5, 7, 9)
- Ordering numbers from greatest to least (e.g., 9, 7, 5, 3)
- Comparing numbers using greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (=) symbols
Comparing Numbers
- The ability to determine the relationship between two or more numbers
- Examples:
- Comparing numbers using greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (=) symbols
- Determining if a number is greater than, less than, or equal to another number
- Using benchmarks (e.g., 10, 20, 50) to compare numbers
Estimation
- The ability to make an educated guess about a number or quantity
- Examples:
- Estimating the number of objects in a group
- Estimating the result of a calculation (e.g., 4 x 6 ≈ 24)
- Rounding numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, or thousand
Place Value
- The value of a digit based on its position in a number
- Examples:
- Understanding the value of digits in a number (e.g., hundreds, tens, ones)
- Recognizing that the value of a digit changes based on its position (e.g., 4 in 400 vs. 4 in 40)
- Using place value to compare and order numbers
Number Sense
Number Patterns
- Recognizing and creating patterns using numbers, such as counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, etc.
- Identifying patterns in sequences, for example, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14
- Creating number patterns using shapes or colors to visually represent the pattern
Ordering Numbers
- Arranging numbers in a logical order, such as ordering from least to greatest, e.g., 3, 5, 7, 9
- Ordering numbers in reverse, from greatest to least, e.g., 9, 7, 5, 3
- Comparing numbers using greater than (>), less than (<), and equal to (=) symbols
Converting Fractions to Decimals
- Divide the numerator by the denominator to convert a fraction to a decimal.
- Fractions can be converted to decimals using long division or a calculator.
- Decimals can be terminating or repeating.
Characteristics of Decimals
- Terminating decimals have a finite number of digits (e.g., 1/2 = 0.5).
- Repeating decimals have an infinite repeating pattern (e.g., 1/3 = 0.333...).
Real-World Applications of Decimals
Finance and Business
- Interest rates can be represented as decimals (e.g., 25% = 0.25).
- Investment returns can be represented as decimals (e.g., 12.5% = 0.125).
- Prices can be represented as decimals (e.g., $0.50).
Science and Engineering
- Precise measurements can be represented as decimals (e.g., 12.5 cm = 0.125 m).
- Mathematical calculations can be represented as decimals (e.g., πr^2 = 3.14r^2 approximately).
Cooking and Recipes
- Ingredient proportions can be represented as decimals (e.g., 0.25 cups of sugar).
- Cooking times can be represented as decimals (e.g., 2.5 hours).
Health and Medicine
- Medication dosages can be represented as decimals (e.g., 0.5 mg of medication).
- Medical measurements can be represented as decimals (e.g., 120.5 mmHg blood pressure reading).
