Let’s add in Alphabitia BCD+ DB BCD is DB is BCD + DB is
You try: B0B+ABC Use the manipulatives or draw pictures to help explain your answer.
Exploration 3.1 In your groups: Part 1 • #1 Make up one addition story problem in Alphabitia and solve it. • Read your problem to the other members of your group and discuss how you solved your problems. • #2a
Operations with Whole Numbers Whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … Operations: + ─ × ÷
0 2 4 6 8 10 a b c Addition of Whole Numbers • Ways to represent addition: • 1. Counters • 2. Number Line • 3. Part-Part Whole
Vocabulary • A + B = C • A and B are called Addends • C is called the Sum • Since A + B = B + A every time, we give it a special name: the commutative property. • Since A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C every time, we give it a special name: the associative property.
Addition and Place Value • If we have 154 + 69
Mental Arithmetic Add these numbers in your head—no pencil, paper, or calculator. 39 + 57
Mental Arithmetic 39 + 57 • Leading digit (30 + 50) + (9 + 7) • Compensation (40 - 1) + 57 • Compensation (40 + 57) - 1 • Break and Bridge (39 + 50) + 7 • Compatible Numbers (39 + 51) + 6
You try… • 23 + 96 • 489 + 723
Exploration 3.2 Mental Addition • Find the sums in the table mentally. • Write a description of your method for finding each sum. • Did you use the same technique for all of the sums? • Discuss your methods with your group members. • Did you all use the same technique for each sum? • How many different techniques were used?
Estimation • Get a QUICK answer that is close but not necessarily exact!
You have 5 seconds 382 + 147
Estimation 382 + 147 Actual answer: 529 Ways to estimate: 380 + 150 = 530 400 + 150 - 20 = 530 375 + 150 = 525 390 + 140 = 530
You try: • 45 + 87 • 391 + 1472
Estimation vs. Exact Answer • Are the exact values of the addends given? • Is the exact value of the sum required? • In general: changing values (like population), measurement values (like distance), and predictions (like 35% chance of rain) are estimates
Rounding • When you estimate, you are rounding to the nearest ten, hundred, million, etc. • If you round up, you are making an overestimation. • If you round down, you are making an underestimation.
