Week 8: Prime Factorization Method
Fractions
Fractions 1. Part-to-Whole  2. Quotient  3. Ration: Part-to-part  Models 1. Area addressing fractions of surface area  2. Length number lines  3. Set (groups of things) 3 groups with 3 people 1 set of group  1 Whole  Discovery 1: when numerator and denominator are the same it's equal to 1 whole Discovery 2: fractional parts are equivalent parts 1/2 > 1/8 Discovery 3: when students realize that 3/4 > 3/9 because the lower denominator means less pieces of the whole number - if wholes are different then fractions will be different such as if the halfs aren't equal sizes - wholes are different sizes

Homework #5
1. If a number is not divisible by 5, can it be divisible by 10? If a number is not divisible by 5 then it means the number doesn't end with 0 or 5 2. If a number is not divisible by 10, can it be divisible by 5? Yes, it can be divisible by 5 because numbers ending in 5 or 0 3. Can two numbers have a greatest common multiple? No, because you can continue finding common multiples of a number so it never ends. Meaning you can only find the least common multiple because there is an infinite amount of numbers meaning there is also infinite common multiples. 4. Mary says that her factor tree for 72 begins with 3 and 24, so her prime factors will be different from Tom's because he is going to start with 8 and 9. What do you say to Mary?  I will tell Mary that it doesn't matter what factors you use or start with because factors of a number never change. Meaning when you look for prime numbers it will get the same result no matter how you begin the factor tree. There is only a set of numbers that multiply for a number, for example, 72's factors are 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,72 so you can only use those numbers to find prime numbers. 5. The radio station gave away a discount coupon for every twelfth and thirteenth caller. Every twentieth caller received a free concert ticket. Which caller was first to get both a coupon and a concert ticket? Show work. Explain thinking process. 20,40,60,80,100,120 12,24,36,48,60,72,84 13,26,39,52,65,78,91,104,.... 60th caller gets coupon and concert ticket. I began by listing the factors of 12 and 13 last because 20 is greater so it will be easier to find a common number by looking at the greater number to compare. Then I listed common multiples of 12 and 13 and looked for the same multiple to be present in 12 or 13 because eiether are giving both a coupon and we are looking for the person getting 1 ticket and 1 coupon not 1 ticket and 2 coupons
Unit 2: Week 7: Number Theory
Number Theory
Types of numbers Divisibility Rules: divisibility are numbers that divide other numbers with no remainders Factors: mulitiples 10 is divisible by 2 10 is divisible by 5 5 is a factor of 10 2 is a factor of 10 10 is a multiple of 2 10 is a multiple of 5 5 is a divisor of 10 2 is a divisor of 10 Example: a (10) is a divisible by b (5) if there is a number c (2) that meets the requirement: cxb=a 2x5 =10
Divisibilty Rules
*Ending by 2: 0,2,4,6,8 by 5: 0,5 - a number is divisible by 5 if it ends with 0 or 5 ex: 25 or 20 * Sum of Digits by 3: sum of digits is divisible by 3 by 9: if sum of digits is devisible by 9 Ex: 378 3+7=10+8=18 18/3=6 or 18/9=2 *Last Digits by 4: if last 2 digits of a number is divisible by 4 by 8: last 3 digits Ex: 316 16 / 4 =4 * By 6: a number is divisible by 6 if it's divisble by 2 & 3, if it's divisible by 2 but not 3 then it's not divisible by 6 and vice versa Ex: 378 - divisible by 2 - divisible by 3 Then it's divisible by 6 as well * By 7: 826 1. Look at the last digit & double it 2x6=12 2. take remaining number after doubling the last digit 3. subtract doubled number from the remaining number 82-12=70 4. 70 is divisible by 7 70/10=7 5. if outcome is divisible by 7 the whole number is divisible by 7 Ex: 3,718 8x2=16 371 -16 = 355 5 x 2= 10 35-10 = 25 25 / 7 = not dividible by 7 * By 11: "chop off method" 29,194 1. chop off the last 2 digits (94) 2. go to remaining number (291) 3. add what was chopped off 291+94= 385 4. repeat process 3 +85 =88 5. check if divisible by 11 88 /11 =8
Practice Examples
136: 2, 4, 8 divisible by 2 because it ends in 6 divisible by 4 because the last 2 digits are divisible by 4 36/4=8 divisible by 8 because last 3 digits are divisible by 8 136/8 = 17 not divisible by 3 1+3=4+6=10/3 = not divisble not divisible by 6 because its not divisible by 3, only 2 not by 7 6x2=12 13-12=1 1/7=X not by 11 1 + 36 = 37/11= X 770: 2,5,10,7,11 divisible by 2,5, & 10 because it ends in 0 not by 3 7+7=14+0=14/3= X not by 4 becasue last 2 digits are not divisible by 4 70/4= 17.5 divisible by 7 0x2=0 77-0=77 77/7=11 not by 8 770/8=96.25 divisible by 11 70+7=77 77/11=7

Week 2: Numeration Systems
Multiplication Combination Strategy Notes
 Using pants and shirts as a demonstration you can see the different combinations that you can do with the orange and purple pants to the white, red, and blue shirts. Each pant can be paired with one of the different shirts meaning you have 3 different combos for each pair of pants. You can draw out each combo or use math. 3 orange pant combos + 3 purple pant combos = 6 combinations or 2 pants x 3 shirts = 6 combinations Multiplication can be done since it shows how much of each pant or shirt you have and multiplying 3 and 2 together you are trying to get the amount of times each clothing piece can be combined to make a different combinations.
Base 10 System Notes
 Base 10 is the values of the 10s in different place values. No matter the place the 10 base each digit in one of the different place values shows a different quanitity Ones = 10 of the one's single unit Tens= a unit of 10 units together Hundreds= 10 units of 10 ten's Thousands= 1000 units of 10 of the 100's
Number Base 10 Example
 One-to-One ten relationship each digit represents a different quantity position tells you the value of the digit When you move from the ones to the thousands each time you need to mulitply by 10 because you are in Base 10 which means each place value increases 10 times as you move from right to left in whole numbers In the decimal place you should do the opposite, instead of mulitplying times 10 you are dividing 10 to show that numbers past the decimal are smaller than the whole numbers. Divide by 10 every tenth, hundredth, or thousandth value everytime you move from a place value.
Decimals
 As you o from left to right after the decimal point each tenth, hundredth, thousandth, etc. units are getting smaller In .35 the 5 hundreth is 10 times smaller than the tenth unit decimal seperates the parts from the whole always will sit right of the unit/whole numbers when smaller than the ones place  The tenth unit representsthe one's unit was cut in 10 equal parts and you take one of those cut units which means you are taking 1/10 of a whole single unit. When calculating for the hundreds the 1/10 is getting 1/10th of times smaller so you multiple 1/10 by 1/10 to get your hundreds units as shown in calculation above.
Examples
 Decimal number indicates what it the unit is as it sits right of a whole unit. the whole number = hours and .3 = mins since minutes is a smaller unit of measurement compared to hours now if you are doing distance measurement the whole = mile and 0.3= is a part of an entire mile so like the Decimal notes section 0.3 is 3/10's of a mile any unit in the tenths is always 1/10 of a one so in this case it's .3 so you will mulitply .3x1/10=3/10 3/10 is parts of a mile Money Examples

Week 1: Problem Solving
Polya's 4 Steps Notes
4 Steps to Solving Problems Understand the problem Know what is being asked from you to do or show Can you say what the problem is asking in your own words? 2. Devise a plan plan what strategy you are going to use in order to solve the problem 3. Carry out the plan Trial and Error, if one strategy doesn't work try another one Charts, diagrams, drawing, tables, etc. 4. Reflect/ Look Back Does the answer make sense to the question? What did you learn from doing the problem? Are all the questions answered?
Student Methods
Each student will understand and comprehend through different methods/strategies. As an educator it's your job to show all the different unique ways that they could problem solve. Acting out the problem provides a real-life visualization Use blocks, beads, or substitute physical objects Drawing pictures, writing it out using numbers, charts, diagrams, etc. Strategy sharing helps other students to learn from other students or you as an educator
Examples of Problem Solving Notes
Writing Out
Writing Probelm There is 7 people in 1 room each person shakes every persons hand once How many handshakes happened in total? One method to solve it would be by writing out the number of people in the room as shown in the left side in descending order. Now next to each person write down the number of hands they will be shaking After each person shakes others hands the number decreases because you don't count the people before them since they have already shook their hands once 1st person= 6 2nd person= 5 3rd person= 4 4th person= 3 6+5+4+3+2+1= 21 total handshakes 5th person= 2 6th person= 1 7th person= 0
Drawing Pictures
Drawing Problem There is 7 people in 1 room each person shakes every persons hand once How many handshakes happened in total?  Write out the number of people next to each person draw 7 circles to represent each person in the room each time cross out the 1 person to show who have shook everyones hand that don't need to shake again after crossing every person out each time count the amount of circles that have a strike going through it
Acting Out
Acting Out There is 7 people in 1 room each person shakes every persons hand once How many handshakes happened in total?  Act out the problem with students, whether it's using cookies, crayons, high-fives, etc. In this case it's hand shaking. The visual above represents the 7 students going in order and shaking hands with each student only once. 1st person gets to shake everyone's hand 2nd person shakes everyone except 1st Person because they already shook hands the first round 3rd person shakes 4, 5, 6, & 7 only because the 1st and 2nd round they shook Person 1 & 2 This process follows for every person left in line to shake hands with The 7th person gets to shake no ones hand because all the other rounds he shook hands with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 as shown in the visual student representation Acting out the problems allows for students to experience and visualize what the problem is asking for to let them get the feel of how to solve the problem using another strategy.
