EXAM ONE REVIEW

Exam ONE is an in-class exam given on: Monday, July 10

Exam ONE covers Labs 1, 2, 3 & 4

• For Exam ONE you should study your labs and your lab homework.
• There will be a few multiple choice questions.
• Most questions will require a short answer and/or a brief description of modeling a concept.
• You may use manipulatives during the exam.
• You may use a calculator during the exam.
• You may not use a cell phone or notes during the exam.

CONCEPTS TO KNOW

• Terminology: Addend, sum, subtrahend, minuend, difference, dividend, quotient, factor, product.
• Working with Bases, Place Value, Digits, Standard Numerals and Expanded Numerals
• Modeling bundling and regrouping ideas.
• Connecting models to standard algorithms; especially addition, subtraction and multiplication.
• Models for addition and subtraction of whole or decimal numbers: Multibase blocks, bean sticks, Cuisenaire Rods.
• Model for multiplication of whole numbers: Cuisenaire Rods.
• Model for multiplication of whole or decimal numbers: Area and linear pieces.
• Sharing and Measurement Division settings. How to model and how to explain the difference.
• Addition and Subtraction settings: Writing simple sentences that yield:
• Adding two parts to find the whole
• Joining one amount to another
• Take Away
• Comparison
• Missing Addend
• Working with Decimal Squares:
Decimal Square color scheme
• Using Decimal squares to model decimals
• Using Decimal squares to model decimal equality
• Using Decimal squares to model decimal inequality
• Using Decimal squares to model decimal sums
• Using Decimal squares to model decimal division (and connections to the two division settings, which works, which does not work?)

I will feel free to draw from all homework & lab questions
