Models

r

AdditionSet Model (Addition)- characterized by the combining of two sets of discrete objectsLinear- characterized by the combining of two continuously quantities; no end, ongoing (i.e time, distance, etc)SubtractionTake Away- characterized by starting with some initial quantity and removing a specific amountMissing Addend- the need to determine what quantity must be added to a specific quantity to reach a goal amountComparison- determine how much larger or smaller one of the quantities is than the otherLinear- characterized on a number line using arrows to show changeMultiplicationRepeated Addition (Set)- repeatedly adding a quantity of objects a specific number of times.Repeated Addition (Linear)- repeatedly adding a quantity of continuous quantities a specific number of times.Area Model- a product of two numbers (length times width)DivisionPartition (sharing)- known: given quantity and number OF groups; unknown: number IN each groupMeasurement (Repeated Subtraction)- known: given quantity and number IN each group; unknown: number OF groups

Properties

r

No properties can apply to Subtraction/DivisionClosure Property of Addition- adding any two whole numbers, the sum will be a whole numberCommutative Property of Addition- switching the order of the addends will result in the SAME sumAssociative Property of Addition- adding three or more numbers; the grouping of the numbers will NOT change the sumIdentity Property of Addition- adding zero to a number will not change the number being addedClosure Property of Multiplication- multiplying two whole numbers will result in a whole number product Commutative Property of Multiplication- changing the order of the factors will result in the SAME productAssociative Property of Multiplication- multiplying 3 or more numbers; the grouping of the numbers will NOT change the product Zero Property of Multiplication- when multiplying a number by zero, the product will always be zeroDistributive Property of Multiplication over Addition/Subtraction-Identity Property of Multiplication- when multiplying a number by one, the product will result in the same number

Multiplication: use grid paper to solve and express the product // unit squareDivision: use base-ten blocks (partition or measurement model)

Fractions

Operations

r

-when you multiply or divide both the top and bottom by the same number, the fraction keeps it's value Adding/Subtracting fractions: if denominators don't have the same value, use equivalent fractions to get a common denominator; then add or subtract the numerator.Multiplying: use a unit squareDividing: use a ruler to divide fractions
