Overview Some algebra equations can be solved with one step, using operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In order to solve them, use inverse operations so that the…
read moreOverview Students can use the commutative, associative, and distributive properties of addition and multiplication to simplify algebraic expressions. Problems are more easily solved if compatible terms can be combined first.…
read moreOverview Operations with real numbers are the most familiar types in mathematics. Those numerical expressions with constants and operations include such actions as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Many algebraic…
read moreOverview The language of algebra is written in symbols, numerals, variables, constants, and expressions. In order to be successful in math, students should be able to translate its language into…
read moreOverview The binary (Base 2) system is based upon powers of 2. It has many applications to situations that have only two alternatives, such as off and on, 0 and…
read moreOverview Mathematical patterns underlie everything in the natural world, including those human extensions of the natural world that surround us. Some of those mathematical patterns are expressed in the arts,…
read moreOverview Mathematical patterns underlie human activity, as far back as we can discover ancient artifacts. Architectural wonders such as the Parthenon, the Pyramids, and other ruins show that civilizations were…
read moreOverview Numbers in Base 2 are real numbers that can be involved in mathematical operations in the same way as more familiar decimal or Base 10 numbers. The advantage of…
read moreOverview The concept of dividing a whole into parts and then dividing the parts into smaller entities is basic to mathematics. That model of division can be illustrated by manipulatives…
read moreOverview If division were limited to single-digit divisors and math facts, it would be comparatively easy. Long division is more difficult to visualize and tie to real-world manipulative objects. Paradigms…
