Q

What are properties of arithmetic?

A

Mathematical laws that describe how numbers behave when used in arithmetic operations.

19
Q

Properties of Arithmetic

A

Commutative, Associative
Distributive, Identity, and Inverse.

20
Q

Commutative Property

A

States that the order of numbers being added or multiplied does not affect the result.

21
Q

Associative Property

A

States that the order in which numbers are grouped when adding or multiplying does not affect the result.

22
Q

Distributive Property

A

States that multiplying a sum/difference by a number is the same as multiplying the addens/minuend/subtrahend by the number, and then adding/subtracting the products.

23
Q

Identity Property

A

States that the sum of any number and zero is the orginal number. And the product of any number and one is the original number.

24
Q

Inverse Property

A

States that every number has an additive inverse (Opposite) that, when added, gives zero. And every non zero number has a multiplicative inverse (Reciprocal) that, when multiplied, gives one.

25
Q

Fraction

A

A numerical quantity that is not a whole number.

26
Q

Numerator

A

The number of equal parts to a whole that you have.

27
Q

Denominator

A

The number of parts that a whole is equally divided into.

28
Q

Proper Fraction

A

A fraction where the denominator is greater than the numerator.

29
Q

Improper Fraction

A

A fraction where the numeraator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

30
Q

Equivalent Fractions

A

Fractions that have different numerators and denominators but are equal to the same value.

31
Q

Place Value

A

The value of a digit in a number based on it’s position.

32
Q

Standard Form

A

A way of expressing numbers using digits. (642)

33
Q

Expanded Form

A

A way of expressing numbers by place value. (600+40+2)

34
Q

Regrouping

A

The process of moving groups of ten to a different place value when performing addition or subraction.

35
Q

Place Value Chart
