Fractions
There are three models to represent fractions
- Area model
 - Linear model
 - Set model
 
Fraction Language
- The top number(numerator) counts
 - The bottom number(denominator) tells whats being counted
 
When Comparing fractions you can say:
- Same-size parts (same denominator)
 - Same number of parts (same numerator)
 - More or less than 1
 - Closeness to ½ or 1
 
Equivalent Fractions
Intergers
Concepts
Definition:Integers are a set of numbers that include all the natural numbers (0, 1, 2 ,3 , 4, and so on) and their negatives.
- The opposite of a number is called the additive inverse.
 -  i.e. 5 opposite is -5. 
 - Real life Examples: Money, Temperature, Football, Elevation  
 
Methods/Approaches 
- Number Line Approach 
 - Chip Method 
 
Absolute Value: how far away the number is from zero.
- Examples
 - -8 absolute value is 8
 - Methods 
 - Number Line
 - Chip Method
 
Ordering Intergers 
- Number line is structured so that the numbers increase from left to right

Divisibility Rules 
- 1- Any whole number is divisible by 1
 - 2- If the ones digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 then its divisible by 2
 - 3-If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
 - 4-If the number formed by the last two digits is divisible by 4
 - 5- If the ones digit is 0 or 5 then its divisible by 5 
 - 6- If the number is even and the sum of the digits is divisible by 3.
 - 8- If the last three digits formed by the number is divisible by 8.
 - 9-If the sum of digits is divisible by 9 
 - 10-If the ones digit is 0 then its divisible by 10
 - 11- If you subtract the even digits by the odd digits formed from the number your difference will be divisible by 11.

Properties
Closure Property of Multiplication: If you multiply any two whole numbers the product will be a whole number.
5∗3=15
Commutative Property of Multiplication: Changing the order of the factors won't change the product.
12∗2=2∗12
Associative Property of Multiplication: Changing the grouping of factors doesn't change the product.
(4∗2)1=(2∗1)4
Identity Property of Multiplication: You can multiply any number by one and it keeps its identity.
1∗6=6
Zero Property of Multiplication: When you multiply any number by zero its product will be zero.
0∗8=0
Distributive Property of Multiplication (over Addition): You can multiply a sum of numbers by a number will equal the same as multiplying each number by the number and adding the products.3(8+15)=3∗8+3∗15
Distributive Property of Multiplication (over Subtration): You can multiply the "difference" of numbers by a number and it will equal the same as multiplying each number and subtracting the products.
3(10−2)=3∗10−2∗3
