Math

Absolute Value and Integers , Adding , Subtracting , Multiplying , & Dividing Integers , Exponents , Prime Factorization , Order of Operations , Ascending and Descending

Absolute Value and Integers

• Opposites - Same distance from zero but on opposite sides of zero

• The sum of two opposites is zero

• Absolute Value - The distance between a number and zero on a number line , The numbers will always be positive the Absolute value of -432 is 432

• Comparing and Ordering Integers - Negative numbers represent the numbers to the left of zero on the number line, Positive numbers are to the right of zero , Numbers increase in value from left to right on the number line , Zero is a Neutral Number

Comparing & Ordering Integers Continued

• Greater than = Right Greater

• Less than = Left

• Bigger side should face the bigger number

• Greatest to least means - the biggest number to the smallest number

• Least to Greatest means - smallest number to the biggest number

Adding and Subtracting Integers

• Same signs Add , Different signs Subtract

•  Subtraction - 

  K- Keep 

  C- Change 

  C- Change 

  T- Then 

  F- Follow 

  R- Rules for 

  A- Addition

  
  

• Keep sign of first Integer , Change the minus to a plus , & change the sign of the second Integer to it's opposite , then follow rules for addition

• 
  

• 
  

Multiplying and Dividing Integers

• Multiplying and Dividing have the same rules .

• If the Integers have the same sign your answer will always be Positive .

• If the Integers have different signs your answer will always be Negative .

Ascending & Descending

• Ascending sounds like up so - Smallest to Largest

• Descending sounds like down so - Largest to Smallest

• 
  

Exponents

• Exponents - tell us how many times a number is multiplied by itself .

• 3^{4 the larger number is consider to be the Base & the smaller number is the exponent}

• 3^{4 = (3 x 3 x 3 x 3) = Expanded Notation}

Prime Factorization

• Prime Factorization - Writing a number as a product of prime numbers using a Factor Tree

• Prime Number - A number greater than 1 that has exactly 2 Factors (Ex. 3,5,7,2)

• Composite Number - A number greater than 1 that has More than 2 Factors (Ex. All even Numbers EXCEPT 2 )

This is what a Factor Tree looks like

Order of Operations

• P - Parenthesis 

  E - Exponents 

  M - Multiplication 

  D - Division 

  A - Addition 

  S -Subtraction

Social Studies

• Geography - The study of the physical features of the earth and how humans affect the Natural world .

• Relative Location - Where a place is located in relation to another place .

• Absolute Location - The precise point where a place is located on Earth .
