    Counting Numbers - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ......

  Sequence - Ordered list of numbers.

  Digits - Counting Numbers and zero. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

  Even Numbers - 0, 2, 4, 6, 8,....  Numbers that can be divided evenly by 2.

  Odd Numbers - 1, 3, 5, 7, 9,...  When divided by 2, there will be one remaining.

  Addends - Numbers that are added.                        EX.    2  ----addend

                                                                                        +  3  ----addend

  Sum - Answer to an addition problem.                               5  ----sum

  Algorithm - Procedure for finding the answer.

  Ordinal Numbers - Numbers used to name position or order.

            Ex.  1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th,.........

  Difference - The answer to a subtraction problem.

                Ex.    9 - 4 = 5 ----difference

  Inverse Operations - Operations that "undo" one another.

                Ex.   + undoes -

                        x undoes ÷

  Equation - A number sentence with an equal sign.    Ex.  11 + 25 = 36

  Stories about combining have an addition pattern.

  Geometry - The study of shapes.

        Point  .             Line   ‹―›                 Line Segment  ―               Ray   ―›

  Types of Lines:

        horizontal   ‹―›                vertical    |                     oblique    /

 Factors - Numbers that are multiplied.                    Ex.       4   ----factor

  Product - Answer to a multiplication problem.                   x 6   ----factor

  Multiples - Product of a number & another number.           24    ----product

        Ex.    24 is the product of 1 x 24, 2 x 12, and 3 x 8, so 24 is a multiple of all those

        numbers.   

  Prime Numbers - Numbers with exactly 2 factors - 1 and itself.   

        Ex.  2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29,...

  Composite Numbers - Numbers with more than 2 factors.

        Ex.  4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16,.....

  Division Algorithm - Procedure for solving division problems.

We use the acronym:

  Does            Divide

  McDonalds    Multiply

  Sell                Subtract

  Cheese           Check to see that the difference is smaller than the divisor

  Burgers          Bring Down & start over

 

  Steps to Rounding Whole Numbers & Decimals:

  1) Find the place to which you are rounding.

  2) Look at the digit to the right of that place.

  3) If the digit to the right is less than 5, the place you are rounding stays the same.

      If the digit to the right is 5 or more, add 1 to the place you are rounding.

  4) The number(s) after the rounded number becomes a zero. With decimals, do not write

       the zero(s).

        Ex.  46 rounded to the nearest ten = 50

             375 rounded to the nearest hundred = 400

              121 rounded to the nearest ten = 120

3 Types of Angles:  
  1) Acute angle

 

 
 2) Right angle

 

 
  3) Obtuse angle

 

 

 

Classifying Triangles by their Angles:  
  1) Acute Triangle - All angles are acute angles.

 

 
 2) Right Triangle - Has a right angle.

 

 
  3) Obtuse Triangle - Has one obtuse angle.

 

 

 

  Classifying Triangle by the length of their sides:  
1) Equilateral Triangle - All sides are the same length.

 

 
2) Isosceles Triangle - Two sides have the same length.

 

 
3) Scalene Triangle - All sides are of  different lengths.

 

 

 Mixed Number - A whole number and a fraction written together.
                             Ex. - 1⅜ 
             

  Percent - Out of 100; for each 100.
                  Ex. - $0.45 is 45% of $1.00
  

 
Flowchart: Process:  
Perimeter - The distance around a polygon. Hint: The rim is the outside edge.
       
        Ex.      P = 2(L + W)                           5 in.

                         P = 2(5 in. + 2 in.)                               2 in.         

                                                            P = 2(7 in.)

                                                           P = 14 in. 

  Regular Polygon - A polygon whose sides are equal in length and whose angles are equal in measure.                                           

   These are all regular polygons.

   Circumference - The distance around a circle.

  Radius - The distance from the center of the circle to a point on the circle.

  Diameter - The distance from across a circle through the center.

  Ex.       

   Probability - The likelihood of an event or series of events will happen. Probability is  expressed as a fraction.           

Probability Of An Event
Probability =   The Number Of Ways Event A Can Occur  
The Total Number Of Possible Outcomes

   Equivalent - Equal in value.

 Equ    i    valent 

     Equal          in             value        Ex.  1 = 2
                                                              2   4   

mean - (Average) Add the given numbers, then divide by the number of addends.

median - The middle number in a group of ordered numbers.

mode - The number that occurs most often in a given set of numbers.

range - The difference between the greatest and the least number in a given set of numbers.    

 

Transformations:

translation - (slide)

reflection - (flip)

rotation - (turn around)
