Prepping for Math Test - HSP Tuesday, November 24, 2015

Parents,

The students in HSP will be having their Unit 2 Math test on Friday, November 27th. I have conferenced with the groups and provided them with an outline of the lessons they need to review in order to prepare for the test. This will be an OPEN BOOK TEST, so they are able to use their notes to help them.

Please look for your child's initials below to find their specific review:

AN, YG and RJ – things to do to help prepare for Unit 2 Math Test
1. Place Value -  the value of digits
- relating that as you move to the left in place value, the value of the digit is 10 times as great as the place value before
- standard form, expanded form and in a chart

Eg: How many 10’s are in: 300? 3000? 30 000?
How many 100’s are in 300? 3000? 30 000?
How many 1000’s are in 3000? 30 000?
2. Representing numbers
Eg. 37 540 – the value of the 3 is 30 000; the value of the 7 is 7000, etc.

3. Estimating – rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000 to estimate sums and differences


SS and VV - things to do to help prepare for Unit 2 Math Test

1. Addition and Subtraction Strategies - doubles, doubles plus one

Eg: 5+5= 10 (double); 5+6= 11 (solved - 5+5=1= +1 = 11) (double plus one)

2. Inverse Relationship (fact families) and using this to solve for missing numbers

Eg: 6+4=1=, 4+6=1=, 10-6=4, 10-4=6

3. Adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers with and without regrouping

*students must show their work

DN, FM, CW, JD and JL - things to do to help prep for Unit 2 Math Test

1. Place Value in large numbers (ones all the way to hundred millions)

- standard form: 1 345 292
- expanded form: 1 000 000 + 300 000 + 40 000 + 5 000 + 200 + 90 + 2
- number word form: one million, three hundred forty five thousand, two hundred ninety two

2. Multiples - start on a number and count on by that number

Eg. - 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30...

3. Prime Numbers and Composite Numbers

- A number that only has 2 factors (1 and itself) is a PRIME number 
Eg - 7 is a prime number (1 and 7)

- A number that has more than 2 factors is COMPOSITE
Eg - 12 is a composite number (1 and 12, 2 and 6, 3 and 4)

3. Factors - Factor trees

4. Order of Operations (BEDMAS)

5. Integers (+ and -)
