The rounding of numbers depends on the
Accuracy that is desired
What are the three rules for rounding?
Step 1: identify the digit in the place you want to round to.
Step 2: Look at the digit to the right, if it is 5 or greater, increase the digit in the place being rounded by one ( round up). Otherwise, keep that digit the same ( round down).
Step 3: write zeros in the places to the right of the digit that was rounded.
The “+” symbols is the sign used for
Addition
Numbers being added are the
Addends
The result of addition is called the
Sum
When one or more of the numbers being added has more than one digit, you must
Align the numbers so that all the ones digits are in a column and so on.
The number being subtracted is called
Subtrahend
The number from which you are subtracting is called
Minuend
The result of subtraction is
The difference

That number
Every number has an opposite except
Zero
Opposites are the same distance from
Zero on the number line
________ are composed of the counting numbers and their opposites, together with zero
Integers
The absolute value of a number is
The distance from zero on the number line
The absolute value is defined as a distance, it is always
Non negative
To add two or more numbers that have the same sign
Add their absolute values, the sum has the same sign as the addends
To add two numbers that have different signs?
Subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value. The sum (difference) has the sign of the number with the greater absolute value
Subtracting integers a helpful hint to remember
Do not change the sign of the first number. Change subtraction to addition, and change the sign of the second number
- 5 - 2=
- 5 + (-2)=
To multiply two numbers that have the same sign,
Multiply the absolute values. The product is positive
To multiply two numbers that have different signs
Multiply the absolute values. The product is negative
The product of any number and zero is
Zero
To divide numbers that have the same sign
Divide the absolute value. The quotient is positive
To divide the numbers that have different signs
Divide the absolute value. The quotient is negative
What is Algebra?
The study of operations and relationships among numbers, often using symbols to represent numbers.
What are variables?
Symbols that represent numbers
What is an expression?
A number, a variable, or a combination of numbers, variables and operations.
What is purpose of the order of operations?
A lost of steps to be followed for finding the value of an expression.
What is the Order of Operations
Complete all calculations of Parentheses Exponents Multiplication & Divisions (Left to right) Addition & Subtraction (Left to right) In that order
What are grouping symbols? There are 4
Parentheses
Brackets
Absolute value signs
Fraction bar
What is the Commutative Property of Addition
Changing the order of addends does not change the sum
What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?
Changing the order of factors does not change the product
The Associative Property of Addition
Changing the grouping of addends does not change the sum
The Associative Property of Multiplication states
Changing the grouping of factors does not change the product
The Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition states
Multiplying the sum by a number gives the same result as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products
The Identity Property for Addition
Sum of Zero and any number is that number
Identity Property for Multiplication
Product of any number and one, is that number
Multiplication Property of Zero
The product of any number and zero is zero
The opposite of a number is called
The additive inverse
The opposite of a number is formed by
Multiplying that number by -1
The reciprocal of any number except zero is called
The multiplicative inverse of the number
The reciprocal of a number is formed
By writing the number as a fraction and then inverting the fraction
The property of Additive Inverses states
The sum of a number and it’s opposite is zero
The property of Multiplicative Inverses states
That the product of any number, except zero, and it’s reciprocal is 1
Algebraic expressions consist of
Terms
A term can be ________, ________, or ______________
A number
A variable
A product of a number and variable
In an expression, terms are separated by
Addition and subtraction symbols
The numerical factor in a term is called
The coefficient
A decimal is
A number that contains a decimal point
The decimal point ________
Separates the whole number from the part of the number less than a whole
To compare decimals ______
Write them so they each have the same number of decimal places.
What are the steps to multiplying decimals? (3)
- Multiply as you would whole numbers
- Find the sum of the decimal places in the factors
- . insert a decimal point so that the number of decimal places in the product is the sum in step 2
What are the steps to divide decimals? (3)
- Move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until the divisor becomes a whole number
- Move the decimal point in the dividend to the right the same number of places that was moved in the divisor. Place decimal point in the quotient directly above.
- Divide
Steps to convert a decimal to a fraction or mixed number
A decimal number less than one, use the word form. First part of the word form is the numerator, the second part is the denominator. Then simplify
A _______is a special ratio that compares a number to 100 using the symbol _______.
Percent
%
You can convert between decimals and percents by _________
moving the decimal point
How do you convert a Percent to a Decimal? 75%
