In this week's reading, you are presented with foundational math concepts related to performing a variety of mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). You are shown these concepts as they relate to whole numbers and fractions. These mathematical operations are foundational to the rest of mathematics and will continue to be used throughout this course and as you use mathematics in your life and career. As such, it is important to get off to a good start with reminders and tools that can be useful to build your math understanding and skills. This lab assignment will help you do that.

Instructions

make a study sheet with important mathematical foundational ideas from this week.

You should include, at a minimum:

• at least one concept related to place value
• common words and phrases that denote:
  • addition
  • subtraction
  • multiplication
  • division
• order of operations
• factoring
• finding multiples
• least common multiple
• finding primes
• evaluating an expression
• like terms
• combining like terms

Be creative.

• include visuals
• add examples where needed
• use colors

Add more ideas, as useful to you. In each week's lab going forward, a suggestion of what ideas to add to this resource will be given.

You may choose to create this in a computer program. Or, drawn out by hand. If hand drawn, please submit an image (Microsoft LensLinks to an external site. is recommended).
