TTypes of Numbers – Cheat Sheet Prime Number – A number that has exactly two (2) factors

Zero (0) and One (1) are neither prime nor composite because they only have one factor (itself)

Composite Number – A number that has three (3) or more factors

Even Numbers ending in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8

Odd Numbers ending in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9

Divisibility Rules

- Divisible by 2 – All even numbers are divisible by 2. Even numbers end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8 and all are divisible by 2.

- Divisible by 3 – If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3 so is the number. Add up the digits in the number, if the answer is divisible by 3 so is the number.

- Divisible by 4 – Odd numbers are NEVER divisible by 4. Odd numbers end in 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, so any number ending with one of this will NOT be divisible by 4. Even numbers MAY be divisible by 4. To check, look at the last 2 digits of the number. If the number formed by the last 2 digits is divisible by 4, then the number is divisible by 4.

- Divisible by 5 – If a number ends in a 5 or a zero then it is divisible by 5

- Divisible by 6 – If a number is divisible by 2 AND 3, it is divisible by 6.

- Divisible by 9 – – If the sum of the digits is divisible by 9 so is the number. Add up the digits in the number, if the answer is divisible by 9 so is the number.

- Divisible by 10 – Numbers that are divisible by 10 end in with a zero.

PPlace Value & Rounding Comparing & Ordering Decimals

Rounding Rules Example Example 1. Underline the determined value 42.3 576.8 2. Draw an arrow to number to the right of underlined

number 42.3 576.8

3. 0 – 4 = Round Down (Keep the underline number the same)

a. All numbers to the left of underlined number stay the same

b. Underlined number stays the same c. All numbers to the right of underlined number

go to zero 4. 5 – 9 = Round Up (Underline number goes up 1)

a. All numbers to the left of the underline number stay the same

b. Underline number goes up 1 c. All numbers to the right of underlined number

go to zero

Round Down 42.3 ≈ 42.0

Round Up 576.8 ≈ 580.0

Comparing Decimal Rules 1. Line up the decimals using their decimal point ** If you do not see a decimal

point, it is at the end of the number Example = 423 = 423.0

2. Fill in zeros so that all numbers have the same place value

3. Compare each number in their “lanes” (from left to right)

4. Determine greatest to least or least to greatest

MMeasures of Central Tendency: The Mean, Median, Mode, and Range

When finding the measures of central tendency the first step is to place the numbers in order from least to greatest.

Mean (Average): Add up a list of values in a set of data and divide by the number of values you have.

6, 4, 4, 3, 8 Step 1 Put in order from least to greatest 3, 4, 4, 6, 8 Step 2 Add up all the numbers 3 + 4 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 25 Step 3 Divide by the number of values you have 25 ÷ 5 = 5

Answer The mean is 5

Median (Middle): The middle value in a set of data when the values are written in order. If there are 2 values in the middle, find the mean of the two.

6, 4, 4, 3, 8 Step 1 Put in order from least to greatest 3, 4, 4, 6, 8 Step 2 Find the middle number

**If there are an odd number of data values 3, 4, 4, 6, 8

Answer The median is 4

6, 4, 4, 3, 8, 5 Step 1 Put in order from least to greatest 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8 Step 2 Find the middle number

**If there are an even number of data values then there will be two middle numbers

3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 8

Step 3 Find the mean of the two middle numbers 4 + 5 = 9 9 ÷ 2 = 4.5

Answer Median = 4.5 Mode (MOST): The value in a set of data that is repeated most often. A set of data could have no mode, one mode, or more than one mode.

6, 4, 4, 3, 8 Step 1 Put in order from least to greatest 3, 4, 4, 6, 8 Step 2 Find the number that occurs most often 3, 4, 4, 6, 8

Answer The mode is 4

Range: The largest number minus the smallest number

6, 4, 4, 3, 8 Step 1 Put in order from least to greatest 3, 4, 4, 6, 8 Step 2 Subtract the largest number minus the smallest number 8 - 3

Answer The Range = 5

PProperties 1. Commutative Property

Numbers can be added or multiplied in any order and the answer is still the same.

Examples: Commutative Property of Addition: 3 + 2 = 2 + 3 a + b = b + a

Commutative Property of Multiplication: 5(4) = 4(5) ab = ba 2. Associative Property

When adding OR multiplying 3 or more numbers, they can be grouped in any way and the answer remains the same.

Examples: Associative Property of Addition: (2 + 4) + 9 = 2 + (4 + 9) a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c

Associative Property of Multiplication: (5x4)x2 = 5x(4x2) (cd)e = c(de)

3. Identity Property of Addition When you add 0 to any number your answer is that number.

Examples: 5 + 0 = 5 0 + 1,253 = 1,253 a + 0 = a 0 + b = b 4. Identity Property of Multiplication

When you multiply any number by 1 your answer is that number.

Examples: 4 ∙ 1 = 4 1 x 746 = 746 1 x a = a b x 1 =b

5. Property of Zero

Any number multiplied by zero is zero.

Examples: 0 x 8 = 0 52 ∙ 0 = 0 a ∙ 0 = 0 0 x b = 0

6. Distributive Property

Multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products.

Examples: 2(3 + 4) = 2∙3 + 2∙4 a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c)

Coordinate Plane Cheat Sheet This is a coordinate plane. Sometimes it is referred to as a coordinate graph. It has two axes and four quadrants. The two number lines form the axes. The horizontal number line is called the x-axis ( ) and the vertical number line is called the y-axis ( ). The coordinate plane is divided into 4 part called quadrants. See the figure to the right to see the location and name of each quadrant. You can describe points on this graph by using a coordinate pair. A coordinate pair has an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate and looks like this: (x, y). The center of the coordinate plane is called the origin. The origin has coordinates of (0, 0). Locating Points on a Coordinate Graph Locating points on a coordinate graph is very similar to playing the game Battle Ships. The coordinates tell you exactly where the point will be located. The x- and y-coordinates in the coordinate pair tell you which way to go and how far to go.

Follow the steps below:

It takes 2 moves to plot a point. 1.) Start at the origin 2.) The x-coordinate comes first and it

moves to the right or left. Right for positive numbers and left for negative. Example: (-3, 5) For the 1st move, the x-coordinate is -3 so starting at the origin, move 3 places to the left.

3.) The y-coordinate comes last & it moves up or down. Up for positive numbers and down for negative. Example: (-3, 5) You have already moved to the left 3 places, and for the 2nd move go up 5.

Fraction Operations

Adding & Subtracting Fractions 1. Make sure the denominators are the same. 2. If needed, we have to build each fraction so

that the denominators are the same. 3. Then, we add or subtract the numerators. 4. The denominator of your answer will be the

same denominator of the built-up fractions. 5. Reduce or simplify the answer, if required.

Examples: To add or subtract fractions with a common denominator, you simply omit Step#1.

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

Note: DO NOT add or subtract denominators!

When adding fractions with different denominators, we do all the steps.

1/2 + 1/3

3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

Multiplying Fractions Here are the Rules for multiplying fractions...

1. You do not have to worry about a common denominator!

2. If possible, simplify before you multiply. 3. Multiply the numerators. 4. Multiply the denominators. 5. Simplify or reduce the resulting fraction, if

possible.

Examples:

32 x

54 =

158

Remember: You do not have to worry about a common denominator! Just multiply the numerators & then multiply the denominators!!

Multiplying Mixed Numbers 1. Change the mixed numbers into improper

fraction 2. If possible, simplify first. 3. Multiply the numerators. 4. Multiply the denominators. 5. If necessary, rewrite your answer as a mixed

number and check to be sure it is in simplest form.

Examples: 311 X 2

43 =

Change mixed numbers to improper fractions then solve.

34 X

411 =

1244 =

311 = 3

Dividing Fractions A Key Word to Understand

Reciprocal A reciprocal of a number is when the numerator and denominator switch places.

If the fraction is a mixed number, change it to an improper fraction first, then write its reciprocal. The product of any number and its reciprocal is always one.

Example:

The reciprocal of 43 is

34 .

The reciprocal of 51 is

15 .

Example of reciprocal with mixed numbers:

211 equals

23 and it’s reciprocal is

32

Steps for Dividing Fractions 1. Rewrite the division problem as a

multiplication problem, but multiply by the reciprocal of the number you were dividing by.

2. Simplify before you multiply. 3. Multiply the numerators. 4. Multiply the denominators. 5. Be sure your answer in its simplified or

reduced form. Change improper fraction to whole numbers or mixed numbers.

Example:

21 ÷

31

Rewrite as a multiplication using the reciprocal.

21 X

13 Now solve.

21 X

13 =

23 Simplified = 1½

Hints for Dividing Mixed Numbers 1. Change the mixed numbers into improper

fraction 2. Rewrite the division problem as a

multiplication problem, but multiply by the reciprocal of the number you were dividing by.

3. Simplify before you multiply. 4. Multiply the numerators. 5. Multiply the denominators. 6. Be sure your answer in its simplified or

reduced form. Change improper fraction to whole numbers or mixed numbers.

Example:

211 ÷ 2

32

Rewrite division problem with improper fractions.

23 ÷

38

Now rewrite as a multiplication using the reciprocal, and solve.

LLadder / Slide Method Greatest Common Factor or Divisor (GCF/GCD):

Highest number that divides exactly into two or more numbers Least Common Denominator or Multiple (LCM or LCD):

Smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers Smallest Number that is a multiple of two or more denominators

Simplified Fractions: Reduce a number to make as simple as possible. (Numbers only have a factor of one that is the same)

Step 1: Write the two numbers in a box Step 2: Find a factor that goes into both numbers Step 3: Divide both numbers

Step 4: Continue this process until both numbers only have a factor of 1 that is similar

GCF/GCD Multiply the left side

LCM/LCD Multiply the left side and the bottom numbers Simplified Fractions Bottom numbers become you simplified fraction

Cross Products

The Rule of Cross Products states that when you multiply the diagonals of 2 fractions they are equal.

You can see in the example that 15 x 3 = 45 and 5 x 9 = 45 or we could say 15 x 3 = 5 x 9

The Rule of Cross Products has truths that are helpful in solving for a missing part of 2 equivalent fractions, ratios or proportions.

EXAMPLE:

Because of the Rule of Cross Product we know that 15n = 18 x 10 or 15n = 180.

This can be solved algebraically but most prefer the quick and easy way below.

Ratios Rates & Proportions Ratio: A comparison between two different amounts. There are 3 ways to write ratios

8 to 3 8:3 A ratio is usually a part-to-part comparison, but it can be a part to whole comparison.

Example: The score was 15 to 4. There are two parts being compared - the score of one team being compared to the score of the other team.

Proportion: Two ratios that are equal to each other. Example:

Proportions are used when two things are being compared and one of the parts is missing. Example: Margaret knows that she can serve 7 people with 2 cans of green beans. She will be feeling 84 people at the luncheon. How many cans of green beans will she need to buy?

N = 24 cans

Rate: A ratio comparing 2 amounts measured in 2 different units. Example: The ratio below is comparing minutes to kilometers. These are two different units of measurement so this ratio is a rate.

Unit Rate: A unit rate is the amount for 1 item Example:

The car gets 32 miles per gallon of gasoline. This is a unit rate because we are talking about 1 gallon of gasoline

A proportion can be used to find a unit rate. Example: A bottle of shampoo cost $3.99 for 13.5 ounces. Find the unit rate.

N = about $0.30 per ounce

Substitution & Variable Cheat Sheet Substitution is used to replace a value for a variable in an expression, equation, or formula.

Things you need to know: - What is a variable? A variable is a letter that represents a number in an expression or equation.

Examples: 5 + n = 2 ‘n’ is the variable f – g ‘f’ and “g” are variables

- What does it mean when a number is right next a variable? When a number is right next to a variable it means multiply.

Example: 3t =15 Because the ‘t’ is right next to the 3, this means ‘t’ multiplied by 3.

- What does it mean when 2 variables are right next to each other? When a 2 variables are right next to each other it means multiply.

Example: xy Because the ‘x’ and ‘y’ are right next to each other it means the value ‘x’ Is multiplied by the value of ‘y’.

EXAMPLES: a. Solve the problem if a + b if a = 3 and b = 5 1st Write out the problem a + b

3 + 5

Congruent and Similar Figures Understanding Congruent Figures

The symbol for congruent

Congruent Figures Must Have -Same Shape -Same Angles -Same Size -Same Side Lengths

EXAMPLE: Triangles ABC DEF

Therefore, they have the…. - Same Shape - Same Angles - Same Size - Same Side Lengths

Understanding Similar Figures The symbol for similar

Similar Figures Must Have -Same Shape -Same Angles -A Scale Factor* -Same Side-to-Side Ratios**

EXAMPLE: Rectangles ABCD EFGH

Therefore, they have the…. - Same Shape - Same Angles - A Scale Factor* - Same Side-to-Side Ratios**

*So, what does Scale Factor mean?

The Scale Factor is the magic number that all of the side lengths of one figure are multiplied by to get all of the side lengths of new figure.

Because all of the side lengths of the smaller figure are all multiplied by 3, the scale factor is 3 or SF = 3.

In similar figures the sides that are in the same position are called corresponding sides. We call the angles that are the same in similar figures, corresponding angles.

**Then what are Side-to-Side Ratios?

In Rectangle ABCD, if you compare the ratio of the long side to the short side, it should be equal to the ratio of Rectangle EFGH’s long side to its short side.

Rectangle ABCD: Rectangle EFGH: Therefore, these rectangles have the same side-to-side ratios.

Corresponding Sides and Corresponding Angles In congruent and similar figures the sides that are in the same position in both figures are called corresponding sides. The angles that are the same in both congruent figures and similar figures are called corresponding angles.

EXAMPLES: In the rectangles above the short sides in rectangle ABCD corresponds with the short sides in EFGH. In the triangles above, angle A corresponds with angle D because they are both 50º.

Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher and mathematician, born in Samos in the sixth century B.C. He and his followers tried to explain everything with numbers. One of Pythagoras’s most popular ideas is known as The Pythagorean Theorem. Things you need to know:

1. Right triangles have 2 legs and a hypotenuse. - The legs are the short side. - The hypotenuse is the long side that is opposite the right angle.

2. What is the Pythagorean Theorem

- The Pythagorean Theorem says that the sum of the legs squares of a RIGHT triangle equal the square of the hypotenuse. a2 + b2 = c2.

3. You can find the missing parts of a right triangle. Examples

A. Find the hypotenuse. a2 + b2 = c2 1. Write formula.

32 + 52 = c2 2. Show substitutions. 9 + 25 = c2 3. Solve.

36 = c2

4. Find the square root of c2.

c = 6 cm 5. The hypotenuse equals 6 cm.

B. Find the missing side. a2 + b2 = c2 1. Write formula.

a2 + 72 = 252 2. Look closely & then show

substitutions. a2 + 49 = 625 3. Solve.

– 49 – 49 4. Subtract 49 from each side.

a2 = 576 fdd 5. Find the square root

of a2. a = 24 m 6. The missing side is 24 m.

37

Solving Equations with Hands-On-Algebra Solving equations is all based on maintaining balance. A scale is used to represent that balance.

Example 1 Example 2 1. Set up your balance scale.

4x + 5 = 2x + 13

1. Set up your balance scale. Hint: The 2 outside the parenthesis means you must do the inside of the parenthesis twice. 2(x +3) = x + 8

2. There are pawns on both sides so to maintain balance, remove 2 pawns from each side.

2. When you lay it all out it looks like this.

3. Now you are left with 2x + 5 = 13. 3. There are pawns on both sides so to maintain balance, remove 1 pawn from each side.

4. There are cubes on both side. Now remove 5 from the cubes on each side.

4. Now you are left with x + 3 = 8

5. You are now left with 2x = 8 5. There are cubes on both sides. Now remove 6 from the cubes on each side.

6. If 2 pawns equals 8, then each pawn must equal 4. So, x = 4 (Hint: 8÷2)

6. Because you have all your pawns on one side and all of your cubes on the other you are finished. You are now left with x = 2.

7. Finally check your answer if x = 4.

4x + 5 = 2x + 13 Substitute: 4(4) + 5 = 2(4) + 13 Solve: 16 + 5 = 8 + 13 21 = 21 It checks.

7. Finally check your answer if x = 2.

2(x +3) = x + 8 Substitute: 2(2 + 3) = 2 + 8

Solve: 2(5) = 10 10 = 10 It checks.

Understanding Flow Charts

A flow chart is a visual diagram that shows each step in evaluating an algebraic expression or equation.

EXAMPLES: I. Just follow the rules and arrows.

a. b.

II. Flow charts can be created from expressions. HINT: ORDER OF OPERATIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Start with the variable. What do you do first? Next? Notice the difference in these two flow charts. AGAIN, ORDER OF OPERATIONS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!

a. 6n + 1 b. 6(n + 1)

Solve if n = 4.

Solve if n = 4.

Your answer is the same when using substitution with the original expression:

Solve if n = 4 6n + 1 6(4) + 1

25

Your answer is the same when using substitution with the original expression:

Solve if n = 4 6n + 1 6(4 + 1)

6(5) 30

III. Flow charts can be used to solve equations. 5n + 4 = 79 1. Create a flow chart for the equation. Since 79 is

what comes “OUT” put it in the last oval.

2. Work backwards. - Start at the “OUT”, the 79. - Undo adding 4 by subtracting 4 from 79. - Finally, undo multiplying by 5 by dividing 75 by 5. - So n = 15

3. Substitute your answer in the original equation to check your answer.

n = 15 5n + 4 = 79 5(15) + 4 = 79 75 + 4 = 79 79 = 79 It checks.

39

Solving Equations Mathematically A few hints to solve equations mathematically: - Remember the importance of keeping the equation “balanced” like with Hands-On-Algebra. - Think of “undoing” like with the flow charts. “UNDO” adding by subtracting. “UNDO” subtracting by adding. “UNDO” multiplying or dividing. “UNDO” dividing by multiply.

Examples: 1) 5 + 3g = 23 5 + 3g = 23

Think about the flow chart

What would you “Undo” first? - Undo adding 5 by subtracting 5. Remember to keep thing balanced by subtracting 5 from both sides. 5 + 3g = 23

-5 -5 3g = 18

What do you “Undo” next? - Undo multiplying by 3 by dividing by 3. Keep things balanced by dividing both sides by 3. 3g = 18

3 3 So, g = 6

2) 2w – 4 = 8 +4 +4 Add 4 to both sides 2w = 12 2w = 12 2 2 Divide both sides by 2 w = 6

3) -3 -3 Subtract 3 from both sides. = -2

5 = (-2)5 Multiply both sides by 5 n = -10

4) 22 + 3n = 6n + 4 -4 -4 Take 4 from each side. 18 + 3n = 6n -3n -3n Take 3n’s from each side. 18 = 3n 18 = 3n Divide both sides by 3. 3 3 6 = n

5) 6 - 5p = p + 30 -6 - 6 Take 6 from each side. -5p = p + 24 -p = - p Take 1p from each side. -6p = 24 -6p = 24 Divide both sides by -6. -6 = -6 p = -4

Remember to substitute and check your answers!!

IInequalities

Inequality Two values that are not equal (less than, greater than)

< Greater than > Less than

≤ Greater than or equal to ≥ Less than or equal to

≠ Not equal

Graphing Inequalities x < 4 y ≥ - 3

1. Locate the value for the variable

2. Mark the point with one of the following a. Closed Circle if symbol is ≥ or ≤ b. Open Circle if symbol is < or >

3. Determine which direction you will draw the arrow

a. Left If variable is smaller than the value

b. Right If variable is larger than the value

Solving Inequalities by Adding & Subtracting Addition & Subtraction Properties of Inequality: You can add or subtract the number to each side of an inequality and the problem stays balanced. n + 3 ≤ -4 n – 14 > 10 – 3 – 3 - Undo adding by subtracting + 14 + 14 - Undo subtraction by adding n ≤ -7 n > 24

Solving Inequalities by Multiplying & Dividing Multiplication & Division Properties of Inequality: You can multiply and divide each side of the inequality by the same number, BUT you must be careful about the directions of the inequality sign.

- IF you multiply or divide by a positive number the sign stays exactly how it was. - IF you multiply or divide by a negative number, the sign flips the opposite way.

– 1 ≤ 7 +1 +1 ≤ 8

≥ (8)2

n ≥ 16

1) Add 1 to each side. 2) Multiply both sides by 2.

Since you are multiplying each side by a positive number, the sign stays the same.

-3n + 4 > 16 – 4 – 4 -3n > 12

-3n < 12 -3 -3

n < -4

1) Subtract 4 from each side. 2) Divide both sides by -3.

Since you are dividing each side by a negative number you must switch the sign from > to <.
