Measurement

The process or the result of determining the magnitude of a quantity, such as:

Multiplication & Division Relationship

Like addition and subtraction, It is an inverse relationship

Number Concepts

Reciting

Number Patterns

A list of numbers that follow a certain sequence.

Number Theory

Operation

An action or procedure in which a new value from one or more input values

Place Value

The value of where the digit in the number.

Polya’s Problem Solving Process

Four Principles:

Understand the problem (recognizing what is being asked for)
Devise a plan (Responding to what is asked for)
Carry out the plan (Developing the result of the response)
Look back (Checking! What does the result tell me?)

Primes

Can only be divided evenly by one and itself

Probability

The chance that a particular event (or set of events) will occur

Study of collection, organization, and interpretation of data

Story Problems

Word Problems

Visual-Spatial

Thinks primarily in pictures
Learns concepts all at once
Learns complex concepts easily; struggles with easy skills
