Absolute Value : The distance a number is from zero.

1. Absolute Value: The distance a number is from zero. - 5 = 5 13 = 13 – 7 = – 7 • Exponents: • An exponent tells the base how many times to multiply by itself. • 53 = 5 x 5 x 5 53 = 125 5431 = 543 760 = 1 • Exponent Rules: • When you multiply two numbers raised to an exponent, addthe exponents. C4 x C2 = C6 Because C x C x C x C x C x C = C6 • When you raise an number with an exponent to another exponent, multiply the exponents. • (x4)2 = X8 Because x4  x4 = X  X  X  X X X  X  X = X8 • When you divide numbers with exponents, subtract the exponents. If there are whole numbers, simplify the fraction first. • 6 X2 Y5 = 3 Y3Because X X Y YYYY • 14 X6 Y2 7 X4X XXXXX Y Y • Greatest Common Factor (GCF) or (GCD): • List out all the factors of the numbers you are comparing. (numbers that it can be divided by) • Find the largest number that divides into both • Order of Operations: Mathematicians must follow a specific order when solving a multi step problem. For each operation work left to right. • Prime Factorization: Writing a number as a product of prime number • (in exponential form) • P.F. OF 18 = • 2 x 33 2 x 33 2 x 33 Mean, Median, Mode, Range, Outlier: 14, 30, 4, 10, 7, 4, 5, 12, 4, Mean (average): Add the numbers and divide by total number of terms (4+4+4+5+7+10+12+14+30) ÷ 9 = Mean = 10 Median (middle number): First put all numbers in order, then find the middle 4 4 4 5 7 10 12 14 30 Median = 7 Mode (Most frequent number): 4 4 4 5 7 10 12 14 30 Mode = 4 Range (Difference between lowest and highest number): 30 – 4 = Range = 26 Outlier = 30 (Relatively too large or too small of number based on other numbers in series) • Least Common Multiple (LCM): • List several multiples of the numbers you are comparing. • (create a multiplication table) • Find the smallest multiple that they share. • Rules: • Place the decimal behind the 1son-zero • Always multiply by 10 to an exponent • Use positive exponents for BIG numbers • Use negative exponents for small numbers • The exponent corresponds to the number of places you moved the decimal • 3.45 x 105 = 345000 2.314 x 10-3 = .002314 • 67500 = 6.75 x 104 .000045 = 4.5 x 10-5 • Negative Numbers: • As you move to the left on a number line, • values get smaller. • As you move to the right, values get larger. • -17 is farther away (to the left) from zero than -5, Therefore -17 is smaller than -5. • 3 is bigger than -6 because it is a positive value.

2. Inequalities: • Solve the one-step equation using an inequality sign. • Shade in the direction of the inequality sign. • - Greater than > Shade to the Right • - Less than < Shade to the left • - Use a close circle for = ≥ ≤ • - Use an open circle for < > • 16 + n < 20 • n < 4 • Adding and Subtracting Decimals: • Line up decimals • Put zeros in for place holders where needed. • Follow basic adding and subtracting rules. • Multiplying Decimals: • Do not line up decimals. Line up on right. • Multiply following basic multiplication rules (don’t worry about the decimals until the end). • Count how many numbers come after a decimal in the problem (in both numbers), then place the decimal in the answer so that it has the same amount of numbers after the decimal. • Dividing Decimals: • Use long division. Work out until you have a zero remainder or a series of repeating numbers. • The first number you say goes under the division house. • When dividing by a whole number, carry the decimal straight up and lock into position. • When dividing by a decimal, move the decimal to the end of the number on the outside, then move the inside decimal to the right the same number of places, then straight up. • Changing Between Decimals & Percents: • Move the decimal 2 places • D P Move 2 to the right • D P Move 2 to the left • 45% =.45 .03 = 3% 1.25 =125% Percents to Fractions: Place percent over 100, then simplify. 45% = 45/100 = 9/20 6/50 = 12/100 = 12% .60 = 60% = 60/100 = 6/10 = 3/5 Changing a Fraction to a Decimal or Percent Use long Division. ½ = 1  2 = .50 ½ = 50% • Comparing fractions, decimals, and percents: • Change all numbers to the same form to compare. Easier to compare all as decimals. • How to find a percent of a number: Multiply the number by the percents as a decimal. 80 • Your answer is a number, not a percent. Find 60% of 80 = .60 x 80 = 48 X .60 • 48.00

3. Area Formulas: Memorized These! rize These! Angle Measurement: Complimentary Angles: Add up to 90o Supplementary Angles: Add up to 180o Vertical Angles: Are congruent angles. If <1 = 35o, the <2 = 35o Alternate Angles: All obtuse angles will be congruent. All acute angles will be congruent. Triangle: Internal angles add up to 180o 4 Sided Figure: Internal angles add up to 360o because it ismade up of 2 triangles. 5 Sided Figure: Internal angles add up to 540o because it is made up of 3 triangles. • Adding/Subtracting Fractions: • Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same . Find a common denominator is needed. • Add or subtract the top numbers (the numerators). Put the answer over the same denominator. • Simplify the fraction (if needed). • Multiplying Fractions: • Multiply straight across and simplify • Dividing Fractions: • Flip the 2nd fraction (find the reciprocal) • change division sign into multiplication and • follow multiplication rules (Flip and Multiply) 100 200 Distributive Property: Multiply the outside term by every term inside the parenthesis, one at a time.

4. Converting an improper fraction to a mixed number: • Divide the denominator into the numerator. This becomes the whole number • Place the remainder as the numerator • Keep the original denominator • Change 33/4 into a mixed number. • Change a mixed number into an improper fraction: • You must turn mixed numbers into improper fractions before you perform multiplication or division. I recommend changing mixed number for addition and subtraction as well. • Multiply the denominator by the whole number • Then add that number to the numerator • Place back over original denominator • Measurement (Extra) • 1 Yard = 3 Feet • 1 Mile = 5280 Feet • 1 Gallon = 4 Quarts • 1 Quart = 2 pints • 1 Pint = 2 Cups • 1 Kilogram = 1000 Grams • 1 Gram = 1000 Milligrams • King Henry Doesn’t Usually Drink Chocolate Milk • Kilo hecto deka [unit] deci centi milli • Probability: The likelihood an event will occur • Theoretical probability: Mathematical likelihood (written as a fraction) • P(a die will land on a 4) = 1/6 There is one 4 out of six possible outcomes. • Sample Space: All possible outcomes • The sample space for a penny is (Heads, Tails) • Events (Independent or Dependent): Multiply the individual • theoretical probabilities together. • P(rolling a 4 on a die and getting a head on a penny) 1/6 x 1/2 = 1/12 = Roughly 8% • If a bag contains 2 white marbles, 5 red marbles, and 3 green marbles, what is P(red, green) without replacement. 5/10 x 3/9 = 15/90 = 1/6 = Roughly 17% • Combinations: • Multiply the number of choices in each category. • How many outfits can be made from 4 shirts, 3 shoes, and 5 pants. 4 x 3 x 5 = 60 outfits • How many different ways can you line up five students? 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 different ways • How many ways you pick a President and Vice President out of 20 people? 20 x 19 = 380 ways • Making Predictions: Use ratios or percents to determine likelihood of future event. • If I spun the spinner 78 times, how many times should I land on a triangle. • set up a Ratio 6X = (2 * 78) I should expect to • 2 = X 6X = 156 get the triangle about • 6 78 X = 26 26 times. • If 5% of middle schoolers at centennial like snakes, then how many students can I expect to like snakes if I surveyed 2,000 students in wake county? .05 x 2000 = 100 students • Transformations: • Translations: • To Slide • Rotations: • To Turn • Reflections: • To Flip • Translations: • Moving to the right – Add to X • Moving to the left – Subtract from X • Moving up – Add to Y • Moving down – Subtract from Y • Remember X goes left and right. • Y goes up and down • Rotations: • Rotate 180 – All points go to their opposite signs • Rotate 90 clockwise – Switch location of X and Y, then change all y points to their opposite signs. • Rotate 90 counterclockwise – Switch location of X and Y, then change all the x points to their opposite signs. • Reflections: • Reflect over x-axis – All x points stay the same and all y points go to their opposites • reflect over y-axis – All y points stay the same and all x points go to their opposites
