•
•
•
Fractions operations (+ - X / )
Rounding decimals – place names
Decimal to percent to fraction
Order of Operations: PEMDAS (MD, AS left to right as a grouping)
• Factoring:
• Prime & Composite numbers
• Primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47
• Prime Factorization (make tree)
• Least Common Multiple (LCM)
• Ex: find the LCM of 2, 5, 6, 9
• LCM=90
The Real Number Line and
Inequalities
1.1a
Real Number Classifications
•
Real Numbers: the numbers found on a Number Line
Hawkes slide 11
•
Irrational Numbers: decimals repeating without a pattern (pi, e, non-perfect
square roots)
•
Rational Numbers: zero, non-decimals, fractions, repeating decimals, perfect
squares
•
Integers: positive/negative non-decimal numbers, zero
•
Whole Numbers – zero, positive integers
•
Natural (counting) Numbers – positive integers
•
•
Example: Classify 7 in the Real Number System
Try it… Classify -1/2 in the Real Number System
Number Line
• Draw a number line
• Label the number line
• Plotting points
Inequalities
• Inequality Symbols – Hawkes slide 17
• Read either left to right or right to left
• Example: show on a number line all x  2
• Comparing fractions: rewrite with a common
denominator if you can’t determine
• Example: Graph and compare ¾ and 2/3
Try it…
• Show on a number line all x  4

Absolute Value
1.1b
Absolute Value
• Absolute Value: the distance from zero on
number line
• Example: Use a number line to show
|5|
|-3|
• What about…
 | 4 |
Absolute Value of a Variable
• Variable: a letter whose value may change
• | x | 8
What values of x make this true?
• What about… | x | 10
Graphing Absolute Value
• Example: Graph the solution:
| x | 3
• Example: Graph the solution:
| x | 7
• Try it… Graph the solution:
| x | 5
