question
commutative
answer
change the order of the terms or factors a + b= b +a addition ab=ba multiplication 5+8=8+5=13 2x6=6x2=12
question
associative
answer
regroup the terms as you like addition= a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c multiplication= a(bc)=(ab)c doesn't apply to division and subtraction (2+7)+5=2+(7+5) 9+5=2+12=14 (3x7) x5= 3x (7x5) 21x5=3x 35=105
question
identity
answer
finding a number that when added to a term results in that number (additive identity) finding a number such that when multiplied by a term results in that number ( multiplicative identity) addition- a+0=a (zero is additive identity) 17 + 0=17 multiplication a x 1=a (one is mulitiplicative 34 x 1=34
question
inverse
answer
finding number such that when added to the number it results in zero; or multiplied by the number results in 1 addition: a-a=0 multiplication: a x(1/a)=1 (-a) is the additive inverse of a; (1/a), also called the reciprocal, is the mulitplciatve inverse of a. 25-25=0 5x 1/5=1 the product of any number and its reciprocal is one
question
distributive
answer
helpful when you cannot combine the terms inside the parenthese a(b+c)=ab +ac 6x(4+9)=(6x4) +(6x9) 6x13=24+24+54=78

question
direct observation
answer
the most effective method of assessing problem solving skills
question
major conjectures
answer
are assumptions, hypothesis predictions, or estimates about the problem presented -students should be able to justify their thinking -as students become more confident, they should be able to describe a plan for validating their suppositions
question
using models
answer
students use objects or models to investigate their conjectures, and children aged four through ten must have access to pictures, objects, or other tangibles. -directly involves working through the plan development to prove or disprove the conjecture -
question
drawing logical conclusions
answer
students have completed the plan and have a solution -children determine whether or not the conjecture made at the beginning is an accurate hypothesis -children should be able to explain how they arrived at the conclusion and make appropriate connections to all of the previous steps
question
guess and check strategies
answer
students can make an initial guess at the solution, check the answer, and use the outcome to guide the next answer -with each successive guess, the student gets closer to the correct answer -constructing a table may help
