.When there is no operator, multiply:
3(4) means 3x4 but
3-(4) means 3 minus 4.
1) Read math left to right, with the
operator applied to the number AFTER.
3-4+8 means 3 and 8 are plus and 4 is
subtracted
2) Line up decimals when adding:
10.50 + 20 = 30.50
Multiplying by 10 makes a number
larger and moves the decimal one place.
Memorize chart on page Z17,
“A number is divisible by....”
To get rid of decimals in fractions,
multiply numerator and denominator by
tens.
All these are equivalent, memorize the
order and form: 2/3, 2  3, 3
For the sake of order, build factor trees with the
smallest primes first and on the left branch.
