Manipulatives, Adding & Multiplying using Visual Models, Order of Operations, Properties of Operations, Opposites & Reciprocals Flashcards
Attribute Blocks
come in five different geometric shapes with different colors. Can be sued for sorting, patterns, and teaching attributes of geometric figures
What shapes do attribute blocks come in?
circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon
Base-10 Blocks
Visual models in powers of 10 that represents ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands. These blocks can be used to teach place value, regrouping with addition or subtraction, fractions, decimals, percents, and area and volume
Bar Diagrams
used to represent parts and whole and are often used with finding a missing value in a number sentence (e.g., 5+?=12).
Counters
come in different shapes and colors (e.g., bears, bugs, chips) and are used for sorting and counting
Geoboards
pegboard grids on which students stretch rubber bands to make geometric shapes. They are used to teach basic shapes, symmetry, congruency, perimeter, and area
Fraction Strips
Help to show the relationship between the numerator and denominator of a fraction and how parts relate to a whole
Numerator
top number of a fraction
Denominator
bottom number of a fraction
Snap Cubes
cubes that come in various colors that can be snapped together from any face. Snap cubes can be used to teach number sense, basic operations, counting, patterns, and place value
Tiles
1 inch squares that come in different colors. Some more common skill tiles can be used to teach including counting, estimating, place value, multiplication, fractions, and probability
Polynomials
algebraic expressions that consist of variables and coefficients
Operator
+,-,x,÷
Variables
a letter that represents an unknown number
Coefficient
a number that multiplies a variable
Array
puts groups into organized lines, preparing students for additional math topics such as area.
Identify the P in PEMDAS
Parenthesis
Order of Operations: Parenthesis
includes all grouping symbols, which may include brackets [].
Identify the E in PEMDAS
Exponents
Order of Operations: Exponents
means anything raised to a power should be simplified after all operations inside of grouping symbols have been simplified
Identify the MD in PEMDAS
Multiplication Division
Order of Operations: Multiplication Division
essentially the same “type” of operation. Therefore, these operations are performed in order from left to right (whichever comes first), just s you would read a book. ALL multiplication and division should be completed BEFORE any addition or subtraction that is not inside a Parenthesis
Identify the AS in PEMDAS
Addition Subtraction
Order of Operations Addition Subtraction
essentially the same “type” of operation. these operations are done left to right (whichever comes first). These operations should always come last unless they are inside parenthesis
