Finals Review

1. (Ch.9 #6/7) Proportional reasoning-- create a drawing that helps you visualize the relationship and determine an amount prior to increase/decrease

2. (Ch. 8 & Ch.3 #1) Additive and multiplicative comparison--be able to explain and write problems that model these

3. (Ch.9) Proportional Reasoning--write a problem that models this

4. (Ch.7 #1) Subtraction write problems that model “take away” and “comparison”.

5. (Ch.6 #10) Use benchmark numbers to estimate fractional values

6. (Ch. 5 #2, 4, 5) Estimate operations with percents, decimals, and fractions

7. (Ch. 4 #1, 2) Long division--use and explain the scaffolding method, sometimes called the ‘Big Seven’

8. (Ch 4 ) Division modeled using ‘Equal Share’ or ‘Repeated Subtraction.’

9. (Ch.2 ) Working with Bases other than Ten—operations in other bases and converting to base ten or from base ten
