Math Notes for June 1















Here is a video:


Equations

Equations -
          mathematical statement with two expressions that have the same value. e.g.




- Model 8 times a number plus 4 = 12 in a mathematical statement









you have to know:
 examples of equations:

                                             

Equations

Equations - mathematical statement with 2 expressions that have the same value
eg : x+2=3 , y-7 = (-4) , 3a-2 = 9+2 , b=4

Model 8 times a number plus 4 is 12
8n+4 = 12

Identify : 5y-6 = 19
variable = y
numerical coefficient = 5
constant = 6




Opposite Operations
+, -
x ,
÷
- , +
÷ , x

a+1 = 3
a+1-1 = 3-1
a = 2


Sub
a+1 = 3
2+1 = 3
3=3




Reverse order of operation

4c-3 = 17
4c-3+3=17+3
4c
÷4 = 20÷4
c = 5

Sub
4c-3=17

4(5)-3=17
20-3=17
17=17

Patterns and Expressions Definitions

For example: x, 4, n

For example: 8, y+5, 6y-1


For example: in 3y+ 1=13. The 1 is the constant

For example, in 3y + 1= 13. The 3 is the numerical coefficient

Today in class we talked about Equation

Equation-mathematical statement with two expressions that have the same value
Example: x+2=3 y-7=(-4) 3a-2=a+2 b=4

Question:Can you model 8 times a number plus 4 is 12?

Answer: (8n+4=12)

5y-6=19
Find the:
variable
numerical coefficient
constant

Answer:
Variable: The variable is the Y
Numerical coefficient: The numerical coefficient is the 5
Constant: The constant is the 6

Question:How would you write this picture in a expression?
Answer: c+(-3)=(-6)

Opposite Operation
+,-
x,/
-,+
/,x


What is the letter a?
a+1=3
a+1-1=3-1
+1-1=zero pair 3-1+2
a=2

Sub:
a+1=3
2+1=3
3=3

Reverse order of operation:
4c-3=17
4c-3+3=17+3
4c/4 =20/4
C=5

Sub:
4c-3=17
4(5)-3=17
20-3=17
17=17

This is what we did in class to day

Equation

Equation- mathematical statement with two expression that have the same value

Eg.





Model: 8 times a number plus 4 is 12 8n+4=12



5y-6=19



numerical coefficient =5




variable =5




constant =6




C+(-3)=(-6) Brackets in this equation is use to reduce confusion.




Opposite Operations





A+1=3


A+1-1=3-1


A=2




Sub A+1=3


2+1=3


3=3



reverse order of operation



4c-4=17


4c-3+3=17+3


4c=20


4c÷4=20÷4


c=5



sub 4c-3=17


4(5)-3=17


20-3=17


17=17

Patterns and Expressions Definition

Patterns are arrangements of shapes, colors, numbers, letters, words, and etc. for which you can predict which comes next.

Variable - a letter that represents an unknown number.
eg : x, A, n

Expressions - any single number or variable, or combination of operations ( +, -, x, / ) involving numbers. eg : 5, r, 8t, x+9, 2y, -7

Value - a known or calculated amount

Constant - a number that does not change. Increase or decrease that value of an expression.

Numerical Coefficient - a number that multiples the variable





Linear Relation - a pattern made by two sets of numbers that results in points along a straight line on a coordinate grid
eg :


Graph - a visual way to show how two sets of numbers relate to each other

Relationship - a pattern formed by two sets of numbers
