21
Q

What are properties of arithmetic?

A

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

22
Q

Properties of Arithmetic

A

Commutative, Associative
Distributive, Identity, and Inverse.

23
Q

Commutative Property

A

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

24
Q

Associative Property

A

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

25
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.

26
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.

27
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.

28
Q

Fraction

A

A numerical quantity that is not a whole number.

29
Q

Numerator

A

The number of equal parts of a whole that you have/consider.

30
Q

Denominator

A

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

31
Q

Proper Fraction

A

A fraction where the denominator is greater than the numerator.

32
Q

Improper Fraction

A

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

33
Q

Equivalent Fractions

A

Fractions that have different numerators and denominators but are equal to the same value, representing the same portion of the whole.

34
Q

Place Value

A

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

35
Q

Standard Form

A

A way of expressing numbers using digits. (642)

36
Q

Expanded Form

A

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

37
Q

Regrouping

A

The process of regrouping/changing place value groups when performing addition or subtraction.

38
Q

Place Value Chart

A

A model that organizes the values of each digit in a number based on it’s position.

39
Q

Regrouping in Subtraction

A

Regrouping place value groups to make up for the lack of digits within a given place vlaue group.

40
Q

Algorithm

A

A finite sequence of instructions designed to solve a specific problem.

41
Q

Regrouping in Addition

A

Regrouping place value groups to make up for a lack of space in a given place value group.

42
Q

Standard Algorithm

A

The standardized algorithm or system designed to perform mathematical operations.

43
Q

Base 10 math/Decimal system

A

A numeral system that uses 10 as it’s base and contains 10 digits.

44
Q

Multiplying a number by 10, 100, or 1,000

A

The factor multiplied by 10, 100, or 1,000 will take a 10s, 100s, or 1,000s place value.

45
Q

Multiplying a number by multiples of 10, 100, or 1,000

A

You can break down the operation into groups, using the associative property, then multiply the number by 10, 100, or 1,000.

46
Q

Multiplying in general

A

The operation can be simplified by using the distributive property.
