The Half and Differences between Numbers


The whole numbers that are between 7 and 13 are 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
The difference between 13 and 7 is 6.
13 - 7 = 6
Half of this difference is 3.
6 divided by 2 equals 3.
The number 10 is halfway between 7 and 13.
Like this:

7 + 3 = 10
Or...
13 - 3 = 10

Finding a halfway between numbers.

You can add the given numbers and divide it by two.
Like this..

70 and
170
70 + 170 = 240
And divide it by two. It equals
120.


And:





If you don't get it still, look at these examples we did during class...

1. What are the whole numbers between these given numbers?
68 and 72: The answer would be 69, 70, 71.
108.3 and 111.6: The answer would be 109 and 110

How? If you think of it as the alphabet, like, A B C, you know that
B is in between A and C.

Area

Area(a)- the number of square units contained in a two dimensional shape and also is the surface space a shape takes up..
Example:



Area of square and rectangle>>> Length x Width = Area



Parallelogram-
a four figure with opposite sides, parallel and equal

Example:
Height(h)- the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

Example:
Base(b)- side of a two dimensional closed figure.(SHAPE)

Example:

AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM
A=B X H


(b) is 5 cm and (h) is 3cm. Plug there values into a formula...

A = B X H

A= 5 x 3

A= 15cm

Bisecting Perpendicular Lines


Bisect-

Bi means two.
Sect means cut.
So if you put it together, bisect means to cut in two.


Perpendicular
Bisector-
A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides another line segment in half and is at right angles or 90 degrees.
Remember that equal line segments are marked with "hash" marks.


Ways to Make a Perpendicular Bisector:

- Use a right triangle.
- Use a ruler.
- Use a compass

1. Make an arc from point A that is greater than half way.
2. Make an equal sized arc from point B.
3. Connect the arc intersections with a straight line. That line is a perpendicular bisector.


Here is a video for all of you to enjoy and hopefully it will help you understand bisecting more.






** Today's Homework**
Draw a 12 centimeter line segment and label it PQ. Draw the perpendicular bisector of this segment using all three ways. Label the point where they intersect R.

Remember that there is going to be a test tomorrow on perpendicular, parallel and bisecting line segments. So everyone please study hard.(:


Please comment on my blog and please point out any mistakes I made.

Parallel and Perpendicular lines

Parallel and Perpendicular lines



Geometry- shapes and measurements.




Parallel- describes two lines in the same plane that never cross, or intersect.


- they are marked using arrows.






Perpendicular- describes lines that intersect at right angles. ( 90°)



- they are marked using a small square. ________________________________________________________________




measure the diference from:



A to B



B to C



E to F



F to G



I to J



J to K




they all are 8.9 cm.



_________________________



identify any parallel lines you can find.



AE // BF, EI // FJ, CG // BF, GK // JF, AI // CK

what d0 you notice about parallel lines? they always are the same distance apart no metter where you measure, as long as you measure a perpedicular line.

identify any perpendicular line segments.

AE __ DF , FE __ AI , BF __ EG , CG __ FH

What do you notice about perpendicular line segments? they all meet at 60° angles.

What is BEDMAS?

Today at math we were learning BEDMAS.

1st B
- ( brackets )
2nd E- exponents 32, 43
3rd D- division
----M
-multiplication
4th A- addition
----S- subtraction

BEDMAS describes as the order of operations or the order of which you operate an equation.











To practice our knowledge, we were given equations to solve:

A. 2+3x4=
2+12=

14


B. 10-6÷2=
10-3=
7


C.(2+3)x4=

5x4=

20


D.(10=6)÷2=

4÷2=

2


E. 8÷22=

8÷4=

2


F. 4x3÷2+5=

12÷2+5=

6+5=

11


G. Create an equation that includes +, -, x, ÷, exponents, and brackets. The answer will equal 6. You can't repeat any number more than once and you can't use zero. Explain why you think my equation is right or wrong. If wrong, give an equation that is right and tell me what I did wrong.


This is the equation I got to get my answer:

(8x4)÷23+(9-7)=

32÷23+(9-7)=

32÷23+2=

32÷8+2=

4+2=

6

What we learnd today

Today we did number of the day and we work on something called order of operation. We a word called BED MAS. B is for brackets, E is for exponents, D is for division, M is for multiplication, A is for addition and S is for subtraction. Addition and Subtractions are brothers.multiplication and division are sisters.1 brackets are (3+1) 2 Exponents are 52 3 divide or multiply in order from left to right 4 addition or subtraction in order from left to right.
(1.75-0.5) times (4.2\0.6+7.3-1.2
0.70 times ( 4.2 \ 0.6) + 7.3 -1.2
0.70 times 7 + 7.3 - 1.2
4.9+7.3-1.2
4.9+6.1 =11

What sign goes were
5.2\4+2.1
1.3+2.1
3.4 =3.4

2 times 3 \ 6 + (2-1)
2 times 3 \ 6 + 1
6 \ 6 + 1
1+1 = 2

Annie has been asked to calculate 1.7 + 6 \2. she claims the answer is 3.85. do you agree or disagree? Explain why or why not. I think it is wrong because I 1.7 + 6 \ 2 then 1.7 + 3=4.7 so I think it is wrong.

Why We Estimate



Why we estimate: The reasons why we estimate are


To get closer to an answer


To make a problem easier


And to know what to expect from a calculation




You have 1.36L of OJ and theres 4 people that you need to share it to. How much OJ does each person get?


One way to do it is you round the 1.36L to 1L. Then if you divide it by 4 it equals 0.25. Then if you get the .36 and divide it by 4 you get 0.9 and if you add that with the 0.25 you get 0.34L. So everyone will get 0.34L of OJ.

Dividing Decimals

Division: Division means that in the statement 5/2=3. There are three groups of 2 in the number six.

(:(: (:(: (:(: - 3 groups of 2 smiley faces.

The word Quotient is the answer to the division question.

If you have 6 dollars and you need pens for scrap booking that are 0.40 cents each?

We used 10x10 grids to solve this problem.

I did my grid like this :

(every colour represents a new type of pen.)
The number you could get with $6 is 15 glitter pens.

If you look at the two first pictures


= 5 glitter pens. and this is equal too $2 , 2 goes into 6 3 times. So, multiply the 5 x 3 = 15 glitter pens.

Now if you estimate, and make it an EASIER question, this is how you do it.
.40 round it off to 0.50 and round it to 2.



2
+2 - 2
__
4 -4
+2
__
6 - 6
+2
__
8 - 8
+2
__
10 - 10
+2
__
12 - 12

Where to put the decimal?

4/3.6=42778.

Round 3.6 to 4.
Now, change the question to a multiplication question.

4x4=16.
Now divide the 16 by 4.
16/4=4.
4 is nearer than 42. So put the decimal between the 4 and the 2.

4/3.6=4.2778.

This is a lady showing you how to divide decimals, if you need any help.

Multiplying Decimals

This is a blog of today's math notes.


How do you multiply by decimals? First we will look at dividing by .5


Multiplying by decimals is the same thing as dividing by whole numbers. But how is that possible?


If you multiply something by less than 1 you're going to get a smaller number than the number you are dividing by. 2x.5= 1. Its the same as 2 divided by 2.


eg. 46x2.5

Let's break it down.

40x2=80 6x2=12

80+12=92

Now we have the decimal part.

When you see x.5 it means to divide by 2

So 40 multiplied by .5 really means 40 divided by 2

40 divided by 2 equals 20

6 divided by two equals 3

20+3=23

92+23=115

So 46x2.5= 115


Here's a video that might help.



One thing the video brought up is that even though it looks like the answer is 3,864 you have to consider the numbers after the decimal point that hold value. In the equation the digits .1 and .4 are after the decimal point so you move the decimal point two places to the left. You will get 38.64 instead of 3,864.



I'm sorry about the fact that my keyboard doesnt have a divide button on it.


Remember: Math Links page 57-59 numbers 3-21 isn't homework

Here's an excellent link to a website that explains the concept of multiplying decimals well.

Estimating Decimals with Multiplication

This is a blog of today's notes and homework.

What is the total when estimating?

1.69 x5= Tax is included.


Younger sister says it only costs 5 bucks.

Older brother says it only costs 10 bucks.

What are they thinking, how are they estimating?


Younger sister is thinking Under estimating, just 1.00x5= $5.00

Older brother is thinking Over estimating, 2.00x5= $10.00

Where do the decimals go?
2.2 x 1.8= 3960

Where do the decimals go here?

3.9 x 5.8= 22620
Is $9.00 enough and prove it.


2.57 x 0.45= 118220


Pronghorn: 58kg Dall's: 1.5 times as much as a pronghorn.
How much does Dall's weigh?
Approximate: 90kg. 60x1=60 kg.
90 kg. (In between the two weights.)

60x2=120 kg.
Exactly: 87kg.



Homework is:

46x2.5 = 64x4.5 = First estimate then calculate.


Here is a video for multiplying decimals. If you click multiplying decimals it will take you to a link that explains the multiplying of decimals. Good Luck and I hope it isn't hard to understand.






Mr.Isfeld will be collecting number of the day tomorrow.
