  1. February 3, 2009 If only you and dead people can read “hex” (base 16), then how many people can read “hex”?

  2. February 3, 2009 • Another homework note • Buy Class Notes in bookstore • Exam 1: Thursday, 2/12 Covers 1.2 – 1.4, 1.7, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2 in text, explorations 1.1, 1.4, 1.7, 2.7, 2.9, 3.1, 3.6 and notes/problems from class. • Sample questions online • Drop deadline: Tuesday, 2/10 • Section 3.1 covered today

  3. Homework note Most of you mentioned in the darts problem that odd + odd + odd + odd = even Why is this true?

  4. Review Start with the number 141 (base 10) • Write it in Roman, Mayan, Egyptian, Babylonian and Alphabetian. • Next, write it in base 6, base 16 & base 2.

  5. Review (answers) 141: • CXLI      A0CA

  6. Review (answers) 141: • Base 6: 353 Base 16: 8d Base 2: 10001101

  7. 0 2 4 6 8 10 a b c 3.1 - Addition Ways to represent addition: • Counters • Number Line • Part-Part Whole

  8. 3.1 (cont’d) Vocabulary: for 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: commutative property. • Since A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C every time, we give it a special name: associative property.

  9. 3.1 (cont’d) Addition and place value: Ex: If we have 154 + 69

  10. 3.1 (cont’d) Mental Arithmetic (see also Expl. 3.3) Ex: 39 + 57 • Leading digit(30 + 50) + (9 + 7) • Compensation (40 – 1) + 57 then, (40 + 57) – 1 • Break and Bridge (39 + 50) + 7 • Compatible Numbers(39 + 51) + 6

  11. 3.1 (cont’d) The name of the method is NOT important – only the strategy is. Ex: Sit on your hands – no writing allowed Find 68 + 74 • How did you do this? • How might children do this?

  12. 3.1 (cont’d) More to try: Ex: 23 + 96 Ex: 489 + 723 Note: In mental arithmetic, you still want the exact answer!

  13. 3.1 (cont’d) Estimation: Like mental arithmetic, this gives a quick answer BUT unlike mental arithmetic, estimation is close, but not exact!

  14. 3.1 (cont’d) Estimation: Quick, estimate: 382 – 147

  15. 3.1 (cont’d) 382 – 147 Actual (exact) answer: 235 Ways to estimate: 380 – 150 = 230 400 – 150 – 20 = 230 375 – 150 = 225 385 – 145 = 240 390 – 140 = 250

  16. 3.1 (cont’d) More estimation (you try these): Ex: 45 + 87 Ex: 391 + 1472

  17. 3.1 (cont’d) Estimates vs. Exact Answers • Are the given addends exact, or estimates? • Is the exact value of the sum required? • In general, values that change frequently (like population), measurements (like weight) and predictions (like the chance of rain) are estimates

  18. 3.1 (cont’d) Rounding: • When you estimate, you are rounding to the nearest hundred, million, etc. • If you round up, you will get an overestimate. • If you round down, you will get an underestimate.

  19. Homework Due Thursday, 2/5: Read section 3.1 (pages 128 – 150) Do textbook problems listed on website
