Study Notes
Subtraction Techniques
- Traditional Algorithm: Subtracting vertically, borrowing from higher place values when necessary. This is often the first method taught.
- Decomposition Method: Breaking down the numbers to make subtraction easier. For example, subtracting 48 from 92 by subtracting 8 from 12 (92-48 = (90-40) + (2-8))
- Equal Additions Method: Adding the same number to both the minuend and subtrahend. This maintains the difference while making the problem simpler for mental calculations. Example: 137 – 98 = (137 + 2) – (98 + 2) = 139 – 100
- Counting Up Method: Counting up from the subtrahend to the minuend to determine the difference. For example: 156-87. Count up from 87 to 156 (87+13+69)
- Using Number Lines: Visual representation of subtraction, especially helpful for younger students or those struggling with the abstract concept.
Mental Math Strategies
- Breaking down Numbers: Separating numbers into smaller, more manageable components to simplify the calculation. Example: 25 x 4=(20x4) + (5x4)
- Using Properties of Arithmetic: Applying commutative, associative, and distributive properties to rearrange operations for easier calculation.
- Estimating: Using rounding to approximate the answer and check for reasonableness in answer. Example: 32+44 ≈30+40=70.
Numeric Patterns
- Number Sequences: Identifying patterns in sequences of numbers using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.
- Number Shapes: Recognizing geometric patterns related to numbers; for example, patterns on the multiplication table, Pascal's triangle.
- Repeating Patterns: Identifying a sequence of numbers that repeats itself. Example: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3...
- Growing Patterns: Identifying number sequences that progress in a predictable way using a constant amount between numbers.
Word Problems
- Identifying Key Information: Deconstructing problems to isolate the given quantities and the question being asked.
- Determining the Operation: Choosing the appropriate mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) required to obtain the solution.
- Representing Problems Visually: Using diagrams or models to illustrate the problem and make relationships clearer.
- Checking the Answer: Assessing whether the answer makes sense in the context of the word problem.
Number Properties
- Commutative Property: The order of addends or factors does not affect the sum or product. A+B=B+A
- Associative Property: The way numbers are grouped in addition or multiplication does not affect the sum or product. (A+B)+C=A+(B+C)
- Distributive Property: Multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products. A x (B+C) = (A x B) + (A x C)
- Identity Property: Adding zero to a number or multiplying a number by one does not change the value of the number. A+0=A and 1xA=A
- Inverse Operations: Operations that undo each other (e.g., addition and subtraction, multiplication and division).
- Zero Property of Multiplication: Any number multiplied by zero equals zero.
