Converting Scale Measurements

LI: Draw plans or blueprints of spaces, making sure all the measurements are right

A scale in math is a special tool that helps us compare the size of different things. Think about when you have a toy car and a real car. The toy car is a tiny version of the big car. A scale tells us how many times smaller the toy car is compared to the real car. For example, if the scale is 1:10, it means the toy car is ten times smaller than the real car. We can use scales for many things, like maps, drawings, or models. If you see a map of your town, it’s much smaller than the real town, and the scale tells you how much smaller it is. Scales help us understand big things by making them smaller or understand small things by making them bigger.

A scale in math is a special tool that helps us compare the size of different things. Imagine you have a drawing of a house and the real house. The drawing is much smaller than the real house. A scale tells us how many times smaller the drawing is compared to the real house. For example, if the scale is 1:100, it means the drawing is one hundred times smaller than the real house. We use scales for many things, like maps, drawings, or models. If you see a map of your town, it’s much smaller than the real town, and the scale tells you how much smaller it is. Scales help us understand big things by making them smaller or understand small things by making them bigger.

 

Algorithm Addition Poster

Algorithm addition, also known as the addition algorithm, is a systematic method for performing arithmetic addition, typically taught in elementary mathematics. It involves aligning numbers by their least significant digits (rightmost side) and adding corresponding digits column by column from right to left. If the sum of a column exceeds 9, the algorithm carries over the extra value to the next column on the left. This carry is added to the sum of the next column, ensuring accurate results even when dealing with large numbers. For instance, in adding 478 and 365, one starts by adding 8 and 5 to get 13, placing 3 in the units place and carrying over 1. Then, 7 and 6 are added to get 13, plus the carried-over 1 makes 14, placing 4 in the tens place and carrying over 1 again. Finally, 4 and 3 are added to get 7, plus the carried-over 1 gives 8, yielding a total of 843. This method ensures a consistent, reliable process for addition regardless of the number’s size.

Fractions

LI: Show understanding of fractions and their representations.

A fraction is a mathematical expression representing a part of a whole. It consists of two numbers separated by a horizontal or slanted line. The number above the line is called the numerator, and the number below the line is called the denominator. The numerator represents how many parts are being considered, while the denominator represents the total number of equal parts that make up the whole. Fractions are commonly used to represent portions of quantities, division, and ratios. Examples of fractions include \( \frac{1}{2} \) (one-half), \( \frac{3}{4} \) (three-fourths), and \( \frac{5}{8} \) (five-eighths). That is a fraction
