Difference

The "Whole Numbers" that are between 7 and 13 are :
8, 9, 10, 11, and 12

The difference between 13 and 7 is 6

Half this difference is 3
6 divided by 2 = 3

The number ID is halfway between 7 and 13
7 + 3 = 10 or 13 - 3 = 10

If you still don't understand this information try and solve these questions that we did during class.

1. What are the whole numbers between 68 and 72, 108.3 and 111.6
Answer : 69, 70, and 71 Answer : 109, 110, and 111

2. What number is halfway between the given numbers? a. 70 and 170 b. 1801 and 1813 c.18.4 and 6.2.

definitions


Whole Number - a whole number is a number without a decimal ; must also not have any place value below 0, for e.g. tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.


Between - anything in the middle of things. for e.g. my desk is between Diana and Kathryn in math.


Difference - how many numbers it takes to get from one number to another. 7 and 13 would be 6 because it goes 7,8,9,10,11,12,then 13, 6 numbers to get from one to the other.


Halfway - a word used to describe something that is divided into 2 equal parts.
Pictures drawn on paint by me, Credits to my cousin Alvin for showing me how to do this better. Thanks Alvin.

"Area of a Triangle"

Triangle

Triangle:
A three sided figure
Have three angles

e.g.





Because triangle is half of a square, rectangle, or a parallelogram, the formula for finding the area of triangle is Base x Height divided by two.





or area= 45 meters squared




Here is some link to truelly understand how to finding the area of a triangle:

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Area

Areas - the number of square units contained in a two dimensional shape


this square has an area of 4 square units









Area is the surface space a shape takes up.

Area of square or rectangle
Length x Width= area
L x W= area


eg.
area=L x W
area= 6x3
=18cm2




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



eg.










Base(b) - a side of two
-dimensional closed figure(shape)








Height(h) - the perpendicular distance from the base to the opp
osite side.








Base(b) is 5cm and height(h) is 3cm. Plug those value into the formula

A=b x h
A=5 x 3
A=15cm2


Find the area of this parallelogram






Find the area of this parallelogram

A=b x h
A=12 x 4
A=48m squared

Angles



Angles - space between 2 connecting lines


Acute - an angle that is less than 90°





Obtuse- an angle that is greater than 90°and less than 180°
right- exact 90°
straight- 180°

angle bisector-the line that divides an angle into 2 equal parts



-equal angles are not mark with the same symbol




How to make an angle bisector




Method 1




1. use compass make an arc from the vertex that crosses both arms label them X and Y.




2. make an arc from point X and Y they must be equal size.




3. draw a line from point B to the arc intersection.



Method 2


1. use protractor measure the angle D,E,F .


2. divide your measurement by two.


3. make at 54 using protactor labelled Q


y) Join point Q with a straight line.

How to make Perpendicular lines.

Bisect
Bi- means two
Sect- means to cut
So bisect means to cut in two.

Directions:
1. Draw a line
2. Fold so pt
A is on top of pt B.
3. Use a ruler to draw a line in the crease made by the fo
ld.
4. Label the point where the two lines segments intersect P.
5. Measure the lengths of AP and
BP
What do you noticed?
7. Use a protractor to measure the 4 angles created.

What do you notice? they are all 90*

You have created a perpendicular bisector
- a line that divides another line segment in half and i
s at right angles to it.
-equal line segments are marked with " hash" marks.



use a right triangle
1. Find the length of the line segment.
2. Determine the half way point.
3. Use right triangle to create a perpendicular line.


3rd way to make a perpendicular bisector.
use compass.




step one: make an arc from point A is greater then half way.
step two: make an equal sized arc intersections with a straight line, that line is a perpendicular bisector.


Draw a 12cm line segment label it PQ. Draw the perpendicular bisector of this line segment, all three was. Label the point where they intersect R.
a. what are the lengths of PR and PR?
b. what does it mean if the lengths are different?

Geometry

Parallel-describes lines in the same plane that never cross or intersect.
-they are marked using arrows.





Perpendicular-describes lines that intersect at right angles (90 degrees).
-they are marked using a small square.

Measure the distance from:

A to B = 8.9 cm

B to C = 8.9 cm

E to F = 8.9 cm

F to G = 8.9 cm

I to J = 8.9 cm

J to K = 8.9 cm

What do you notice about parallel lines?

Always are the same distance apart no matter where you measure as long as you measure using parallel lines.

Identify any parallel line segments

AE // BF

BF // CG

EI // FJ

FJ // GK

AI // CK

Identify any perpendicular line segment

AE to DF

BF to EG

CG to FH

IE to DF

HOMEWORK!!

1. Are line segments AC and DF parallel?

2. Are line segments DF and BE perpendicular?

3. Are line segments AC and BE perpendicular? How do you know?

4. Would a line segment joining A to D be parallel to a line segment BE? How do you know?

Dividing Decimals

Division means that in the statement 6 ÷ 2 = 3 There are 3 groups of 2 in 6. As you can see on the image to the right.

Quotient- anwer to a division question.




You have $6.00. You need pens for a scrapebooking. Fancy glitter pens cost $0.40 each. How many glitter pens can you buy with $6.00?
Answer: You can buy 15 glitter pens with $6.00.




Place the decimal where it belongs on the following questions.

15.4 ÷ 3.6= 4277778

4.4÷0.42= 1047619

You can over or underestimate to figure out the answer. Find a way that works for you.

Answer :

15.4÷3.6= 4.277778

4.4÷ 0.42=10.47619




Homework

Place the decimal in the correct spot.

20.1 ÷ 4.7= 42766



3.5÷ 0.213=164319

How to estimate

Estimateing is easy in case you don't know I will show you.

5463+5675=?

You probaly know that 5000+5000=10000 and 400+600=1000 add them together and it makes 11000.75+63 will take a little longer so you just have to estimate estimateing is somewhere around the number so lets just say it makes 125 this will help you with bigger numbers or multiplication questions.

Remember estimateing is NOT exact!!!




Below is a video of how to estimateb please enjoy



Today we learned about estimateing if you are a member of www.mytextbook.com go on chapter 2page 57-59 to review it.

When you estimate everything will be easy so estimate but remember it's not exact.
