Foreword Math Mammoth Grade 4-A and Grade 4-B worktexts comprise a complete math curriculum for the fourth grade mathematics studies. In the fourth grade, students focus on multidigit multiplication and division, learning to use bigger numbers, solving multi-step word problems that involve several operations, and get started in studying fractions and decimals. This is of course accompanied by studies in geometry and measuring. The year starts out with review of addition and subtraction, graphs, and money. We illustrate word problems with bar diagrams and study finding missing addends, which teaches algebraic thinking. Children also learn addition and subtraction terminology, the order of operations, and statistical graphs. Next come large numbers -- up to millions, and the place value concept. At first the student reviews thousands and some mental math with them. Next are presented numbers till one million, calculations with them, place value concept and comparing. In the end of the chapter we find more about millions and an introduction to multiples of 10, 100, and 1000. The third chapter is all about multiplication. After briefly reviewing the concept and the times tables, the focus is on learning multidigit multiplication (multiplication algorithm). The children also learn why it works when they work on multiplying in parts. We also study the order of operations again, touch on proportional reasoning, and do more money and change related word problems. The last chapter in part A is about time, temperature, length, weight, and volume. Students will learn to solve more complex problems using various measuring units and to convert between measuring units. In part B, we first study division. The focus is on learning long division and using division in word problems. The geometry chapter introduces students to measuring angles, and we do lots of drawing of different shapes and circles. Area and perimeter are other important topics in geometry. Fractions and decimals are presented last in the school year. These two chapters practice only some of the basic operations with fractions and decimals. The focus is still on the conceptual understanding, building a good foundation towards 5th grade math, where fractions and decimals will be in focus. When you use these books as your only or main mathematics curriculum, they can be like a “framework”, but you do have some liberty in organizing the study schedule. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 should be studied in this order, but you can be flexible with chapters 4 (Time and Measuring) and 6 (Geometry) and schedule them somewhat earlier or later if you so wish. Chapter 3 (Multiplication) needs to be studied before long division in Chapter 5. Many topics from chapters 7 and 8 (Fractions and Decimals) can also be studied earlier in the school year; however finding parts with division should naturally be studied only after mastering division. This product also includes an HTML page that you can use to make extra practice worksheets for computation. I wish you success in your math teaching! Maria Miller, the author

Concerning Challenging Word Problems I would heartily recommend supplementing this program with regular practice of challenging word problems and puzzles. You could do that once a week to once every two weeks. The goal of challenging story problems and puzzles is to simply develop children's logical and abstract thinking and mental discipline. Fourth grade is a good place to start such a practice because students are able to read the problems on their own and have developed mathematical knowledge in many different areas. Of course I am not discouraging people from doing such in earlier grades, either. I have made lots of word problems for the Math Mammoth curriculum. Those are for the most part multistep word problems. I have included several lessons that utilize the bar model for solving problems and tried to vary the problems. Even so, the problems I've created are usually tied to a specific concept or concepts. I feel children can also benefit from problem solving practice where the problems require “out of the box” thinking, or are puzzle-type in nature, or are just different from the ones I have made. Additionally, I feel others are more capable of making very different, very challenging problems. So I'd like for you to use one or several of the resources below for some different problems and puzzles. Choose something that fits your budget (most of these are free) and that you will like using.

Chapter 1: Addition, Subtraction, Graphs and Money Introduction The first chapter of Math Mammoth Grade 4-A Complete Worktext covers addition and subtraction topics, word problems, graphs, and money problems. At first, we review the “technical aspects” of adding and subtracting: mental math techniques plus adding and subtracting in columns. If these are fairly easy for your student(s), you can choose to skip some problems. Going beyond those, the chapter includes lessons in addition and subtraction terminology. These lessons are already preparing your child for algebraic thinking. In the next lessons, the student reviews the addition/subtraction connection, and solves word problems with the help of bar models. Next, we solve simple missing addend equations using subtraction, such as x + 20 = 60. We use bar models to illustrate these and connect them with fact families. The lesson on the order of operations contains some review but it goes beyond that. In many of the problems, the student builds the mathematical expression (calculation) needed for a certain real-life situation. Going towards applications of math, the chapter contains lessons on bar graphs, line graphs, rounding, estimating, and money problems.

Addition Review Remember addition?

You can write any number as a SUM of the different units such as whole thousands, whole hundreds, whole tens, and ones.

5,248 = 5,000 + 200 + 40 + 8 thousands

You can add in parts:

hundreds

tens

Add in any order:

56 + 124

7 + 90 + 91 + 3

= 100 + 50 + 20 + 6 + 4

= 7 + 3 + 90 + 91

= 100 + 70 + 10 = 180

= 10 + 90 + 91 = 191

ones

Trick: add first a bigger number, then subtract to correct the error:

76 + 89 = 76 + 90 − 1 = 166 − 1 = 165

John is writing very simple “missing addend” problems for first graders. For example, he wrote the problem 2 + ___ = 8. The first addend is given, and the second addend is missing. John uses whole numbers from 0 on up to the number that is the sum. a. How many such problems can he write when the sum is 8? b. How many such problems can he write when the sum is 10? c. How many such problems can he write when the sum is 20? d. You should see a pattern in the above answers. Now use the pattern to solve this: How many such problems could he write when the sum is 100 (for second-graders)?

Subtraction Review Marie: “I subtract in parts: first to the previous whole ten, then the rest.” Compare the methods.

35 − 7 = (35 − 5) − 2 =

30 − 2 = 28

John: “I use a helping problem.” 15 − 7 = 8 is the helping problem for 35 − 7. The answer to 35 − 7 also ends in “8” and is in the previous ten (the twenties). So, 35 − 7 is 28.

Repeated Subtraction Game! Jane and Jim are playing a repeated subtraction game. Each player has various number cards. A player pairs his cards together, two by two. With each two cards, the player subtracts the smaller number as many times as possible from the bigger number. For example, Jane pairs together cards 20 and 4. Jane subtracts 20 – 4 – 4 – 4 – 4 – 4 = 0. Jim pairs the cards 45 and 11, and subtracts 45 – 11 – 11 – 11 – 11 = 1. He can't subtract any more. Each player gets as many “points” as is the “remainder” number (the final difference). Above, Jane got 0 points and Jim got 1. The player who first accumulates 25 points loses the game. Write the subtractions that Jane does with these cards:

a.

b.

With four cards, you need to choose which two will make a pair. Pair the cards for subtractions so that you will get the least possible points. Then write the subtractions.

First borrow one hundred. You get 10 tens in the tens column.

Then borrow 1 ten into the ones column. Now you can subtract. 9 7 10 10

7 10

8 0 0 – 2 5 3

8 0 0 – 2 5 3

8 0 0 – 2 5 3 5 4 7

You can't borrow from the tens nor from the hundreds. So borrow 1 thousand.

Next, borrow one hundred into the tens column.

Then borrow one ten into the ones column. You're ready to subtract!

6. You can solve the problem 5,200 − 592 − 87 − 345 − 99 by subtracting the numbers one at a time. That means four separate subtractions. Can you find a quicker way?

Little Hannah has almost learned to read the (analog) clock, but she can't remember which hand is the hour hand and which is the minute hand. So when the time is 1:15, she might say, “It is 3:05”, mixing the hours and the minutes. One day mom was lying in bed, sick, and she asked Hannah what time it was. Hannah said, “It is 2:20.” Just a few minutes later mom asked again for the time. Hannah claimed it was now 4:25. Remembering that each time Hannah either tells the time right, or mixes the hour and minute hands, mom was able to figure out what time it was in reality. Can you?

6. This will be a Pascal's triangle but you need to fill it in. On the left and right sides are ones. Any other number is gotten by adding the two numbers right above it (slightly to the right and to the left). For example, the colored number 3 comes from adding the 1 and 2 above it.

23

7. a. After filling the triangle, add the numbers in each row and make a list. For example, the first row just has 1. In the second row, add 1 + 1 = 2. In the third row, add 1 + 2 + 1 = 4. The row sums are: 1, 2, 4, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____, ____. What do you notice about these numbers? b. Can you find a diagonal with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7? c. Can you find a diagonal with triangular numbers? (Triangular numbers start like this:)

Read more about Pascal's triangle and its patterns at http://ptri1.tripod.com/

Word Problems and Bar Models Bar models help you see how the numbers in a problem relate to each other. Whenever you get stumped by a word problem, try drawing a bar model. On Monday, Dad drove 277 miles, and on Tuesday he drove 25 miles more than he did on Monday. How many miles did he drive in the two days?

Monday Tuesday

On Tuesday he drove 277 + 25 = 302 miles. Altogether he drove 277 + 302 = 579 miles.

The bracket “}” means addition or the total of the two bars. We do not know the total or the sum of the two days' journey, so it is marked with a question mark.

After driving 20 miles, Dad says, “I still have 15 more miles to go to the half-way point.” How long is the trip? 20 mi + 15 mi = 35 miles, and that is the first half of the trip. So, the total trip is 2 × 35 = 70 miles.

We do not know the total length, so it is marked with “?”.

Mark the numbers given in the problem in the diagram. Mark what is asked with “?”. Then solve the problem. 1. Jake worked for 56 days on a farm, and Ed worked for 14 days less. How many days did Ed work?

2. Of his paycheck, Dad paid $250 on taxes, and spent $660 on other bills and purchases. Then, half of his paycheck was gone. How much was his paycheck?

3. Dad bought two hammers. One cost $18 and the other cost $28 more. What was his total bill?

27

Angi and Rebecca split a $100 paycheck so that Angi got $10 more than Rebecca. How much did each one get? The bar diagram shows the situation. Angi got $10 more than Rebecca, and together they earned $100. To solve it, you can think this way. If you took away (subtracted) the “additional” $10, then the total would be $90, and we would only have the two equal parts (the two green parts). So, $90 ÷ 2 = $45 gives us the amount Rebecca got, and then Angi got $45 + $10 = $55. Here's another way of looking at the same situation. We draw just one bar for the paycheck, and divide it into two halves in the middle (the dashed line). Then we draw half of the $10, or $5, on either side of that middle line. We can then see Angi got $50 + $5 = $55 and Rebecca got $50 − $5 = $45.

Mark the numbers given in the problem in the diagram. Mark what is asked with “?”. Then solve the problem. 4. Mary and Luisa bought a $46 gift together. Mary spent $6 more on it than Luisa. How many dollars did each spend?

5. Henry bought two circular saws. One saw was $100 cheaper than the other. His total bill was $590. What did each saw cost?

6. Eric and Angela did yard work together. They earned $80 and split it so that Eric got $12 more than Angela. How much did each one get? Draw a bar diagram.

28

You can solve the rest of the problems any way you like best. 7. Mark bought four towels for $7 each, and a blanket for $17. He paid, and the clerk handed him back $5. What denomination was the bill Mark used to pay?

8. One plain yogurt costs $2.40, strawberry yogurt costs $0.15 less than plain yogurt, and plum yogurt costs $0.30 more than plain yogurt. What is your total bill if you buy all three?

9. Erica was 132 cm tall when she was 9 years old. In the next year, she grew 6 cm, and the next year 2 cm less than the previous year. How tall was she at the age of 11?

10. John's monthly phone service bill is $48. John said that with the money he earned on his summer job, he could pay his phone service for two months, spend $120 for a bike, and still have half his money left. How much did he earn?

11. Melissa found a nice shirt for $11.50, another for $2.55 less, and yet another for $2 less. If she buys all three, what will her total bill be?

29

Missing Addend Solved with Subtraction From this simple diagram, we can write two addition and two subtraction sentences. Those four form a fact family. x stands for a number, too. We just don't know it yet. Which fact in the family makes it easy to find the value of x?

Here is missing addend problem:

z

x + 15 = 56

z

56 – x = 15

z

15 + x = 56

z

56 – 15 = x

You can solve it by subtracting the one part (769) from the total (1,510):

769 + x = 1,510.

x = 1,510 – 769 = 741

1. The missing addend is solved with subtraction. Solve.

a. 78 + x = 145

x = 145 – 78 = _____

b. 128 + x = 400

x = ____ – ____ = _____

c. x + 385 = 999

x = ____ – ____ = _____

2. Write a missing addend sentence using x, and a subtraction sentence to solve it. a. A car costs $1,200 and dad has $890. How much more does he need?

b. The school has 547 students, of which 265 are girls. How many are boys?

30

3. a. Write a fact family using these three numbers: x, 59, 124. (Remember, x stands for a number too.) b. Solve for x.

4. Write a missing addend sentence with x. Solve. a. A school's teachers and students filled a 450-seat auditorium. If the school had 43 teachers, how many students did it have?

students + teachers = total ______ + ______ = ______ x=

d. Jean bought one item for $23 and another for $29, and she had $125 left. How much did she have initially?

______ + ______ + ______ = ______ x=

5. Which number sentence fits the problem? Find x. a. Jane had $15. Dad gave Jane her allowance (x) and afterwards Jane had $22. $15 + x = $22

OR

b. Mike had many drawings. He put 24 of them in the trash. Then he had 125 left.

$15 + $22 = x

125 – 24 = x

c. Jill had 120 marbles, but some of them got lost. Now she has 89 left. 120 – x = 89

OR

OR

x – 24 = 125

d. Dave gave 67 of his stickers to a friend and now he has 150 left.

120 + 89 = x

150 – 67 = x

31

OR

x – 67 = 150

6. Pick a number sentence that you can use to find x. Then solve for x. a. Problem: 253 + x = 2056 2056 – 253 = x

OR

b. Problem: x + 148 = 397 x – 253 = 2056

Bar Graphs 1. Beverly asked her classmates how many hours they watch the TV each day. The results are below; she already organized them in order. 001111111111122223333444556 Each number above is someone's answer to Beverly's question. So two people answered that they watched TV for 0 hours. Quite a few answered that they watch TV about 1 hour per day. With such a bunch of numbers, we need to make first a frequency table. In a frequency table, we count how frequently or how often a certain number was in our list of data. After counting all that, we can make a bar graph. In Beverly's data above, the number zero (0 hours TV) appeared two times. The number two (2 hours TV) appeared four times. Finish the frequency table and the bar graph.

Line Graphs A line graph shows how something changes over time, such as over several hours, days, weeks, months, or years. The data values are often drawn as dots. Then the dots are connected with lines. The x-axis and the y-axis are the two lines that frame the picture. The time units are written under the x-axis. To read a line graph, look “up” from the time unit until you find the dot. Then draw an imaginary line from that dot to the y-axis For example, in July Amy had saved $90. 1. Look at the line graph about Amy's savings. a. How many dollars had Amy saved in May? b. How many dollars had Amy saved in August? c. How many dollars had Amy saved in September? d. In which month had she saved up $75? e. In September Amy used up her savings to buy a used bike. How much did the bike cost? 2. The graph shows a puppy's weight for 10 days after birth. Notice how the two axes are named as “day” and “grams”. a. About how many grams did the puppy weigh on day 1? ________ Day 2? ________ Day 3? ________ Day 4? ________

a. Make a line graph. Three values are already done for you. b. What are the coldest months? c. What are the warmest months? d. What is the difference in maximum temperature between the coldest and the warmest month?

6. Do a line graph from some data that you gather yourself! Just remember, it has to be something that changes over time. You can also “make up” data from your own head. Here are some ideas: z

outside temperature from the morning till the evening

z

your savings in the past 6 months, or an imaginary child's savings in 6 or 8 or 12 months

z

how many hours of schoolwork (or housework or playing etc.) you do each day of the week

z

how many pages of a book you read each day of the week

z

your height from year 0 to year 9 of your life

You can also use this neat online tool for creating your graph: http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/ To use it, you need to have your data ready. It will not give you any data. It just draws the graph.

Rounding When you are rounding to the nearest ten, look at the ONES DIGIT. z z z

If the ones digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, then round down. If the ones digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then round up. If you round up, the tens digit increases by one.

When the number is exactly in the middle, round up. 85 ≈ 90.

The sign “ ≈ ” is read “is about”, or “is approximately”.

(This is just a convention.)

You can draw a line after the digit whose place you are rounding to. The digit or digits after the line will become zeros. 25 6 ≈ 26 0 (up)

8 4 ≈ 8 0 (down)

3,28 7 ≈ 3,29 0 (up)

9,85 4 ≈ 9,85 0 (down)

Notice carefully: If you are rounding up, and the tens digit is already 9, look at the two digits just before your line, and increase that “number” by one: 3,29 7 ≈ 3,30 0 (up) It is as if the “29” formed by the hundreds and tens changes into “30” - exactly one more. (In reality it is “29” tens changing to “30” tens.)

79 5 ≈ 80 0 (up)

3,09 8 ≈ 3,10 0 (up)

The “79” changes to “80”.

The “09” changes to “10”.

Find the whole hundred that is nearest to 539. Rounded to the nearest hundred, 539 ≈ _________. When you are rounding to the nearest hundred, look at the TENS DIGIT. z z z z

If the tens digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, then round down. If the tens digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then round up. The rounded result is a whole hundred so it ends in two zeros. The hundreds digit changes by one if you round up.

You can draw a line after the digit whose place you are rounding to. The digits after the line will become zeros. 5 62 ≈ 6 00

2 48 ≈ 2 00 (down)

1,2 90 ≈ 1,3 00 (up)

5,4 28 ≈ 5,4 00 (down)

Notice carefully: If you are rounding up, and the hundreds digit is already 9, look at the two digits just before your line, and increase that “number” by one: 5,9 92 ≈ 5,5 00 (up) It is as if the “59” formed by the thousands and hundreds changes into “60” - exactly one more.

6,9 71≈ 7,0 00 (up)

12,9 61≈ 13,0 00 (up)

The “69” changes to “70”.

The “29” changes to “30”.

Rounded to the nearest thousand, 4,772 ≈ ________. When you are rounding to the nearest thousand, look at the HUNDREDS DIGIT. z z z z

If the hundreds digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, then round down. If the hundreds digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then round up. The rounded result is a whole thousand so it ends in three zeros. The thousands digit changes by one if you round up.

You can draw a line after the thousands digit. The digits after the line will become zeros. 2, 723 ≈ 3,000 (up)

9, 804 ≈ 10,000 (up)

7 288 ≈ 7,000 (down)

457 ≈ 0 (down)

Estimating You can estimate the result of a calculation. Round the numbers, and then calculate (add or subtract) using the rounded numbers. Your result is not exact. That is why it's called an estimate. Use the symbol “≈” (is approximately) instead of equality “=” when you change from exact numbers to rounded numbers.

567 + 89 – 413

$4.12 + $27.90 + $5.99

≈ 600 + 100 – 400 = 300.

Discounts Often the store lowers the price of an item. That is called discounting the item. If a shirt first costs $10, and the store then puts a new price of $9 on it, the shirt is discounted by $1. The discount is how many dollars the price changed. This time the discount was $1. A TV costs $650. Now it is discounted by $100.

A flower vase was discounted by $2.10. The new price is $6.

The new price is $650 − $100 = $550.

Add to find the original price, which is of course higher: $6 + $2.10 = $8.10

Chapter 2: Place Value Introduction The second chapter of Math Mammoth Grade 4-A Complete Worktext covers large numbers (up to 9 digits) and place value concepts with those. The first lessons only deal with thousands or numbers with a maximum of four digits. These are for review and for deepening the student's understanding of place value. It is crucial that the student understands place value with these numbers before moving on to larger numbers. Yet again, these larger numbers can be very easy as long as the student understands the basics of how our place value system works. Besides the concept of place value, the chapter contains lessons on comparing numbers, adding and subtracting in columns, mental math problems, and the idea of multiples.

7 thousands, 2 hundreds, 7 2 8 4 8 tens, and 4 ones.

Writing the number 5,608 in expanded form means we write out the number as a sum of whole thousands, whole hundreds, whole tens, and ones. You see all of it right from the number: z

It has 5 thousands = 5,000.

z

It has 6 hundreds = 600

z

It has 0 tens = 0.

z

It has 8 ones = 8.

Now write it as a sum: 5,608 = 5,000 + 600 + 0 + 8

The 7, 2, 8, and 4 are called digits of the number 7,284. But 7 in the number 7,284 actually means seven thousand. The value of the digit 7 is 7,000. The 2 in the number 7,284 actually means two hundred. The value of the digit 2 is 200. The value of the digit 8 is eighty or 80. The value of the digit 4 is four. The value of the digit depends on WHERE it is in the number. Look where NINE is in these numbers: 690

“9” in 690 means ninety

The value of the digit “9” is 90.

“9” is in tens place.

9,055 “9” in 9,055 means nine thousand The value of the digit “9” is 9,000. “9” is in thousands place. 419

“9” in 419 means just nine.

The value of the digit “9” is 9.

1,970 “9” in 1,970 means nine hundred. The value of the digit “9” is 900.

“9” is in ones place. “9” is in hundreds place.

In other words, the value of the digit 9 depends on where it's at, or where its place is. That is why this system of writing numbers is called the place value system. If nine is in the hundreds' place, then its value is 900 (for example in number 5,900). If nine is in the tens place, then its value is 90 (for example in number 498). 3.

Comparing with Thousands Which is more, 399,393 or 393,939? You are used to comparing small numbers. When comparing big numbers, use the same principles: z

Check if one number contains bigger place value units (or is “longer”). For example, 675,000 > 95,239 because 95,239 does not have any hundred thousands, but 675,000 does.

z

If the numbers have the same amount of digits (are equally “long”), then you need to compare the digits in the different “places”. Compare the digits starting from the BIGGEST place value. Though you don't have to use them, place value charts can help. t.th th

Start at the hundred thousands place. The digits are the same (3). Both numbers have 300,000. At the ten thousands place, the digits are the same. Both numbers have 90,000 At the thousands place, one number has 9, the other has 3. The upper number has 9,000 while the other has only 3,000!

{

{

{

Therefore 399,393 > 393,939

Start at the ten thousands place. The digits are the same (2). Both numbers have 20,000. At the thousands place, the digits are the same. Both numbers have 7,000. At the hundreds place, the digits are the same. At the tens place, one number has 4, the other has 5.

Therefore 27,045 < 27,054

9. Both anatomy and astronomy often contain big numbers! If you travel around the earth one time on the equator, your trip is 24,900 miles long! If you laid out an adult human's blood vessels, they'd go for 93,200 miles! The Moon lies at an average distance of 238,857 miles from the earth. a. How many whole loops around the earth would those blood vessels go? (You can use estimation.)

b. How many adults' blood vessels would you need to lay out to reach from the Earth to the moon?

c. About 10,000 average-sized human cells can fit on the head of a pin. About how many would be on ten pinheads? On twenty? On thirty?

d. One cubic milliliter of blood (TINY TINY amount) normally has between 4,000 and 10,000 white blood cells, and between 150,000 and 400,000 platelets. Suppose someone has 50,000 white blood cells and 10,000 platelets in that amount of blood. Their white blood cell count is (high/low) and their platelet count is (high/low). Would that be normal or is the person sick with something?

e. There are 100,000 hairs on the top of your head. You lose 100 of them when you brush your hair. How many do you have now? Should you worry about getting to be bald if this continues for a while?

f. Check your science book for other big numbers.

Chapter 3: Multiplication Introduction The third chapter of Math Mammoth Grade 4-A Complete Worktext covers multi-digit multiplication and some related topics. While the first lessons briefly review the multiplication concept and the times tables, the focus in fourth grade is on multi-digit multiplication (also called algorithm of multiplication, or multiplying in columns). We start out by multiplying by whole tens and hundreds. After this is mastered, comes the very important concept of multiplying in parts. This essentially means that 4 × 63 is done in two parts: 4 × 60 and 4 × 3, and the results are added. The whole algorithm of multiplication is based on this principle, so it is important to master it. I don't want kids to multiply in columns “blindly”, without understanding what is going on with that algorithm. Before showing the traditional form of multiplying in columns, the lesson Multiply in Columns - the Easy Way shows a simplified form of the same, which is essentially just multiplying in parts. You may skip that lesson at your discretion or skim through it quickly if your child is ready to understand the standard form of the algorithm, which comes next. Other lessons in this chapter practice estimation and the order of operations, and multiplying with money. Many kinds of word problems abound. The lesson “So Many of the Same Thing” could be entitled “Proportional Reasoning” but I wanted to avoid scaring parents and children with such a high-sounding phrase. The idea in that lesson is really simple, but it does prepare for proportions as they are taught in 7th grade and in algebra. After that, we multiply by whole hundreds in order to prepare for double-digit multiplier problems, and to understand the algorithm of multiplication with more digits.

Multiplication Concept z

Multiplication has to do with many groups of the same size: 3 × 5 means three groups of 5. You can find the total by adding: 3 × 5 = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.

z

Multiplying by 1 means you have just one group: 1 × 17 = 17.

z

Multiplying by 0 means “no groups”: 0 × 82 = 0

z

The order in which you multiply does not matter: 3 × 6 and 6 × 3 are both 18.

3 groups of 6 or 6 groups of 3.

Multiplication terms The numbers being multiplied are factors. The result is called a product. There may be more than 2 factors. For example, in 4 × 5 × 2 = 40, the numbers 4, 5, and 2 are all factors.

Multiplication Tables Review So WHY is it important to learn your multiplication tables? Why couldn't you just use addition or other ways to find what is 6 × 9 or 7 × 8 or 4 × 7 ? The reason is, the knowledge of multiplication tables is also needed in the “opposite” sense. You need to know them so you can divide quickly problems such as 54 ÷ 6 or 56 ÷ 7 or 48 ÷ 8. You need to know those in order to do long division. Also, a little later when you study fractions, you need to be able to immediately notice that in the fraction

56 , both numbers you see are in the table of 8. When you see 64

28 , you need 49

to immediately “see” that both numbers are in the table of 7. Without that, fraction operations such as addition and fraction simplification will be a “pain” to do.

1. Fill in the multiplication tables below and answer the questions.

1×5= 2×5= 3×5= 4×5= 5×5= 6×5=

7×5= 8×5= 9×5= 10 × 5 = 11 × 5 = 12 × 5 =

1 × 10 = 2 × 10 = 3 × 10 = 4 × 10 = 5 × 10 = 6 × 10 =

7 × 10 = 8 × 10 = 9 × 10 = 10 × 10 = 11 × 10 = 12 × 10 =

1 × 11 = 2 × 11 = 3 × 11 = 4 × 11 = 5 × 11 = 6 × 11 =

To find a number times 5, first multiply that number by 10, and take half of that. So for 7 × 5, first go 7 × 10 = 70 and take half of that.

7 × 11 = 8 × 11 = 9 × 11 = 10 × 11 = 11 × 11 = 12 × 11 =

Elevens are as easy as a pie!

What same answers do you find in tables of 5 and 10? Why?

1×2= 2×2= 3×2= 4×2= 5×2= 6×2=

7×2= 8×2= 9×2= 10 × 2 = 11 × 2 = 12 × 2 =

What same answers (products) do you find in the tables of 2, 4, and 8?

1×4= 2×4= 3×4= 4×4= 5×4= 6×4=

7×4= 8×4= 9×4= 10 × 4 = 11 × 4 = 12 × 4 =

To find a number times 4, you can double twice: 7 × 4 = ?? Double 7 is 14, then just double that to get 28.

83

1×8= 2×8= 3×8= 4×8= 5×8= 6×8=

7×8= 8×8= 9×8= 10 × 8 = 11 × 8 = 12 × 8 =

Here you can double thrice: 6 × 8 = ?? Take double 6, and double that, and double that. 5, 6, 7, 8 - fifty-six is 7 times 8. Color ones digits one color and tens digits another. You will see a pattern.

2. Fill in the multiplication tables below and answer the questions.

1×3= 2×3= 3×3= 4×3= 5×3= 6×3=

7×3= 8×3= 9×3= 10 × 3 = 11 × 3 = 12 × 3 =

1×6= 2×6= 3×6= 4×6= 5×6= 6×6=

7×6= 8×6= 9×6= 10 × 6 = 11 × 6 = 12 × 6 =

1×9= 2×9= 3×9= 4×9= 5×9= 6×9=

7×9= 8×9= 9×9= 10 × 9 = 11 × 9 = 12 × 9 =

What same products do you find in tables of 3 and 6? Why is that?

Table of 9 has special things!

To find a number times 6, you can double the corresponding one from table of 3:

Color all the ones digits yellow (of the answers). Color all the tens digits red (of the answers).

Scales Problems This is a pan balance or scales. Things go into the two “pans”, and the heavier pan will go down, like in a seesaw. If the two things weigh the same, the balance stays balanced.

1. Solve how much each geometric shape “weighs”. You can use either pounds or kilograms.

a. The square weighs _____

b. The square weighs _____

c. One ball weighs _____

d. One rectangle weighs _____

e. One pentagon weighs _____

f. One oval weighs _____

g. One square weighs _____

h. One square weighs _____

86

If there are “unknown shapes” on both sides, use this “trick”: Take away the same amount of unknown shapes from both sides. The scale WILL continue to stay balanced!

Take away two diamonds from both sides. Then we see that three diamonds weigh 15.

2. Solve.

a. One pentagon weighs _____

b. One oval weighs _____

c. One triangle weighs _____

d. One triangle weighs _____

3. Solve. These are trickier. Use both balances to figure out the two unknown shapes.

a. One rectangle weighs _____

b. One circle weighs _____

One circle weighs _____

One diamond weighs _____

87

4. A few more with double scales...

a. One circle weighs _____

b. One square weighs _____

One square weighs _____

One triangle weighs _____

c. One square weighs _____

d. One circle weighs _____

One circle weighs _____

One triangle weighs _____

In mathematics, the equal sign “=” is like a scales that is balanced. Something is on the right side, and something is on the left side, and they are equal or “balanced” 5+7=2×6

5. Find the unknown number that goes on the empty line. a. 78 + ____ = 148

b. 7 + 6 + 6 = ____ – 10

c. 2 × 50 = 40 + ____

160 = ____ + 90

5 + 5 + 5 + ____ = 2 × 12

7 × 6 = 2 × ____

50 – ____ = 32

16 + 19 = 2 × ____ + 1

4 × 6 – 7 = 2 × ____ + 1

On the next page you will find empty scales pictures. You can print out the page and devise your own problems. But be careful! If you just make random problems, the solutions are likely to be fractions.

21 tens = 21 × 10 = ____

18 hundreds = 18 × 100 = ____

37 tens = 37 × 10 = ____

20 hundreds = 20 × 100 = ____

56 × 10 is the same as 10 × 56. Both are 560. 92 × 100 is the same as 100 × 92. Both are 9,200. To multiply a number by 10, just tag a zero in the end. To multiply a number by 100, just tag two zeros in the end.

10 × 56 = 560

100 × 47 = 4700

10 × 481 = 4,810

100 × 2,043 = 204,300

Note especially what happens when the number you multiply already ends in a zero. The rule works the same; you still have to tag a zero or two zeros.

10 × 60 = 600

100 × 20 = 2,000

10 × 500 = 5,000

100 × 3,400 = 340,000

What is 20 × 14?

What is 200 × 31?

Imagine the problem without the zero. Then it becomes 2 × 14 = 28. Then, just tag a zero to the end result: 20 × 14 = 280.

Imagine the problem without the zeros. Then it becomes 2 × 31 = 62. Then, just tag two zeros to the result: 200 × 31 = 6,200.

Why does that work? It is based on the fact that 20 = 10 × 2. For example,

Why does that work? It is based on the fact that 200 = 100 × 2. For example,

20 × 14 = 10 × 2 × 14

200 × 31 = 100 × 2 × 31

In that problem, first multiply 2 × 14 = 28. Then multiply by ten:

In that problem, you can multiply first 2 × 31 = 62. Then multiply by a hundred:

10 × (2 × 14) = 10 × 28 = 280.

100 × (2 × 31) = 100 × 62 = 6,200.

The same principle works if you multiply by 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90. You can imagine multiplying by 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, and then tag a zero into the end result. Similarly, if you multiply by some whole hundred, imagine multiplying without those two zeros, and tag the two zeros to the end result. 50 × 8 = 400

90 × 11 = 990

300 × 8 = 2,400

12 × 800 = 9,600

Based on the questions above, can you discover a shortcut for multiplying money amounts by 10? It is found on the next page.

93

To multiply a money amount by 10, move the decimal point by one digit. Tag one zero so you have two digits to show the cents.

10 × $2.40 is $24.00

10 × $45.30 is $453.00

10 × $1.56 is $15.60

10 × $17.82 is $178.20

Make sure your whole dollar amounts were multiplied by 10. For example, if you have $3 first, after multiplying by 10 you need to have $30:

10 × $3.42 is $34.20.

Which is cheaper, to buy a 10-pack of cans of juice for $9.99, or to buy ten individual cans of juice for $0.99 each? What is the price difference?

John wanted to prove that 40 × 70 is indeed 2,800 by breaking the multiplication into smaller parts. He wrote 40 as 4 × 10 and 70 as 7 × 10, and then multiplied in a different order: 40 × 70 = 4 × 10 × 7 × 10 = 10 × 10 × (4 × 7) = 100 × 28 = 2,800. You do the same, and prove that 60 × 50 is indeed 3,000.

94

Multiply in Parts Multiply 3 × 46 Break 46 into two parts: 40 and 6. Then multiply those two parts separately by 3: 3 × 40 is 120, and 3 × 6 is 18. Then add these two partial results: 120 + 18 = 138. Here is another way of showing the same thing, using ten-bundles.

Estimating Products If you don't need an exact result, you can estimate. To estimate a product (= an answer to a multiplication problem), round the factors so that they become easy to multiply mentally. There are no hard and fast rules as to how exactly you should round. Just so that your new rounded numbers are easy to multiply in your head. Estimate 8 × 189.

Estimate 42 × 78.

Estimate 7 × $4.56.

189 can be rounded to 200. The estimated product is 8 × 200 = 1,600.

42 ≈ 40 and 78 ≈ 80. The estimated product is 40 × 80 = 3,200.

$4.56 ≈ $4.50. Multiply in parts: 7 × $4 = $28 and 7 × 50¢ = $3.50. 7 × $4.50 = $31.50.

1. Estimate the products by rounding a factor or both factors to the nearest ten. Don't round both if you can calculate in your head just by rounding one factor! a. 5 × 69

b. 11 × 58

c. 119 × 8

d. 27 × 52

e. 7 × $4.15

f. 8 × $11.79

g. 25 × $42.50

h. 9 × 17

i. 63 × 897

b. 512 Popsicles at 19¢ each

c. 210 yards of wire at $1.29 per yard

2. Estimate the cost. a. 24 chairs at $44.95 per chair

3. Solve. a. Estimate the cost of six tennis balls that cost $3.37 each and two rackets that cost $11.90 each. b. A can of beans costs $0.29. A bag of lentils costs $0.42. Estimate which is cheaper: to buy 8 cans of beans or to buy 5 bags of lentils. c. Jackie needs to buy 8 ft of string for each of the 28 students in the craft class. The string costs $0.22 per foot. Estimate her total cost.

How many times does it “fit”? Use estimation. Many word problems can be solved using multiplication and estimation. Study the examples. If each bus can seat 57 passengers, how many buses do you need to seat 450 people? One bus seats 57 passengers. Two buses seat 114 passengers.

Ten buses seat 570 passengers. Eight buses seat 8 × 57 passengers.

With how many buses will your answer be 450 or a little more? This problem could be solved by division (450 ÷ 57) but instead, you can estimate using multiplication. Round the number 57 to 60, and quickly calculate: 7 × 60 = 420 and 8 × 60 = 480. It looks like 8 buses are needed. However we need to check it using the exact number 57: 8 × 57 = 400 + 56 = 456, so yes, eight buses is the answer. A sticker collection costs $2.39. How many collections can Jill buy if she can afford to spend $70? First round the price to $2.40. Two collections cost $4.80. TEN collections cost $24. Twenty collections cost $48, and thirty cost $72. Twenty-nine collections would cost a little less than $70 ($72 − $2.40) so that is how many she can afford. However, we used the rounded price $2.40 to find that. The difference between $2.40 and the real price $2.39 is 1 penny. For 30 collections we make an error of 30 cents. This is not big enough to “throw off” the estimation (in reality 30 collections cost only 30 cents less than what we estimated). 4. Solve the word problems using estimation. a. How many $0.79 pens can you buy with $5?

b. An advertisement in a newspaper costs $349. How many ads can Bill buy with $2000?

c. Renting skates at a skating rink costs $2.85 per hour. How many whole hours can Sandra skate for $25?

d. You earned $6.50 for weeding the vegetable garden. How many times do you need to weed before you can afford a paint set that costs $38.90?

Multiplying in Columns, Standard Way Here we learn the standard algorithm of multiplication. It is based on the same principle of multiplying in parts: you simply multiply ones and tens separately, and add. In the standard algorithm the adding is done at the same time as multiplying. The calculation looks more compact and takes less space.

252

Multiply the ones first. 4 × 3 = 12 Place 2 under the line at the ones place, but the tens digit (1) is written above the tens column as a little memory note. This is called carrying to tens.

12 + 240

Then multiply the tens, and add the 1 ten that was carried over. 4 × 6 + 1 = 25 There is a total of 25 tens, which actually signifies 250. Write the 25 in front of the ones digit (2).

252 Compare to the method of “multiplying in parts” that you learned previously, where the adding is done separately.

(In the calculation 4 × 6 + 1 = 25, the 6 and the 1 are actually tens. So in reality we calculate 4 × 60 + 10 = 250.)

Look at other examples. In each case, some tens are carried as a result of multiplying the ones. 2

Error of Estimation Let's estimate 8 × 78. 78 ≈ 80 and 8 × 80 = 640.

Let's estimate 6 × $4.35. $4.35 ≈ 4.50 and 6 × 4.50 = $27.

The exact calculation gives us 8 × 78 = 624.

The exact calculation gives us 6 × $4.35 = $26.10.

The difference between these two results is 640 − 624 = 16. That is the error of estimation.

The difference between these two results is $27 − $26.10 = $0.90. That is the error of estimation.

The error of estimation is the difference between the estimated result and the exact result. The error tells you how much “off” you were.

b. Elisa bought for her mom three books for $11.58 each.

c. Angi bought 9 candles for $0.58 each.

You can estimate even if there are many operations. The goal is to round the numbers in such a way that you can then calculate mentally. You can also round numbers up to the “middle 5” if you can calculate mentally with it.

1,124 − 2 × 243

Multiply by Whole Tens and Hundreds Something to ponder: 5

58 × 7 406

Something to ponder: 5

7 × 58 = 406. What would 70 × 58 be?

16 × 9 = 144.

16 × 9 What would 160 × 90 be? 144

Can you guess?

Can you guess?

Don't read more until you think about the questions above! 70 × 58

160 × 90

= 10 × (7 × 58)

= 10 × (16 × 9) × 10

so the result to 70 × 58 is ten times the result to 7 × 58.

so the result to 160 × 90 is 10 × 10 or a hundred times the result to 16 × 9.

Since 7 × 58 = 406, then 70 × 58 is 4,060. Just tag a zero!

Since 16 × 9 = 144, then 160 × 90 is 14,400. Just tag two zeros!

Similarly, 700 × 58 would be 40,600. We tagged two zeros!

Similarly, 160 × 900 = 144,000. We tag three zeros!

1. Use the above method to multiply these: a. 60 × 87 b. 20 × 820 c. 510 × 400 d. 56 × 3,000 2. Solve the problems. a. A crate of apples weighs 20 kg. How much does 65 crates weigh? b. One crate contains apples laid out in four layers. There are 25 apples in each layer. How many apples are in a crate? c. A store owner sold 60 kg of apples to one customer. How many apples did the customer get? 122

See the zero in 70? You can write a zero in the ones place in the answer before calculating. Then just multiply 7 × 58 normally.

Multiplying in Parts with a 2-Digit Multiplier You've learned to do 7 × 82 in parts: first multiply 7 × 80 and then 7 × 2. This same idea works even when we have two 2-digit numbers. Let's look at 25 × 34. To find 25 times some number we can find 20 times the number and 5 times the number, and then add those two. So we break 25 × 34 into two parts: 20 × 34 and 5 × 34. To find 78 × 47, break the 78 into two parts (70 and 8) and multiply by both: it is 70 × 47 and 8 × 47. 25 × 34 in parts: 20 × 34

Multiplying a two-digit number by a two-digit number can be broken down into four parts: 26 × 89 is first of all 6 × 89 and 20 × 89. 6 × 89 is 6 × 80 and 6 × 9.

20 × 89 is 20 × 80 and 20 × 9.

So all total, 26 × 89 is... 20 × 80 and 20 × 9 and 6 × 80 and 6 × 9 is four parts. The area of a rectangle is side times side. Where are those four parts represented in this picture? Can you explain why?

The Standard Multiplication Algorithm with a 2-Digit Multiplier You have learned to calculate multiplications such as 67 × 54 in parts. You did two multiplications and then added. It took three separate calculations. In the usual, traditional way of multiplying there are also three separate calculations. But this time ALL three calculations appear together.

Chapter 4: Time and Measuring Introduction The fourth chapter of Math Mammoth Grade 4-A Complete Worktext includes time, temperature, length, weight, and volume related lessons. The focus on fourth grade is no longer the actual act of measuring, but calculations that involve conversions between different measuring units. In time lessons, the student gets to do fairly complex calculations concerning hours and minutes. In temperature, the student is introduced to negative numbers and gets to do a few simple calculations even. The lessons concerning measuring units usually include a table that lists the units and the conversion factors. For metric units, those tables always include all of the units, even when they are not in common usage. For example, when studying metric units of volume, the chart looks like this: 10 10 10

liter

L

for larger amounts of volume

deciliter

dl

(not used much)

centiliter

cl

(not used much)

milliliter

ml for small amounts of volume

Only milliliters and liters are dealt with in the lesson. But the chart shows the two other units as well in order to get the student used to two basic ideas of metric measuring units: 1. How the units always differ by a factor of ten, 2. How the units are named consistently, with always the same prefixes such as milli-, centi-, deci-, deca-, hecto-, and kilo-. These prefixes and their meanings are NOT yet studied in detail in fourth grade; but I wanted to include the charts to familiarize the students with the terms and the ideas. You may, of course, at your discretion, explain it all to the student.

How many days are there in a month? Either 31, 30, 29, or 28 days. February has 28 days but on leap years February has 29. The rest of them have 30 or 31.See the chart. In calculations, use 30 days for one month unless it is a specific calendar month and you can know how many days it has. Here's another little mnemonic: Look at the knuckles of your fists. Count the months using both knuckles and the “valleys” between them, starting from the little finger's knuckle. The months on the knuckles have 31 days. The months on the “valleys between” have 30 days, except February which has 28 or 29.

How many weeks are in a year? We commonly say there are 52 weeks in a year, but that is not exact: 52 × 7 days = 364 days The whole year is normally 365 days so there is a one-day difference. That is why if your birthday is on Monday one year, the next year it is on the next weekday (unless it was a leap year, and then it would “jump” two weekdays). 6. Solve the problems. a. Jane watches TV about 7 hours a week. She swims about 6 hours a week, and does chores about two hours a day. How many hours in a year does she spend with each activity?

b. Hewitt's family homeschools all but 12 weeks of the year, five days a week, about four hours a day. How many hours do they do school in a year?

What is a leap year?

Why do we need a leap year?

It is a year that is one day longer than normal years. A leap year is 366 days long. On a leap year, February gets an extra day (29 days long).

Because the time our earth takes to go around the sun is not exactly 365 days. It is about 365 1/4 days. That is why in four years we “get off” one day and need to add that to the calendar.

Leap years occur every fourth year, except not when the year number ends in two zeros. For example, the years 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, and 1996 were leap years. 2000 was not. The years 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and so on are leap years

7. a. How many days were in the years from 1997 till 2000? b. How many days were in the years from 2001 till 2005? c. Find your age in days. Remember that some years have been leap years.

d. Find how many days there are in a century (= 100 years). The right answer is NOT just 100 × 365 = 36,500.

The 24-Hour Clock As you know, the hour hand goes around the entire 12-hour clock face two times in one day. A day has 2 × 12 hours = 24 hours. Instead of using a.m. and p.m. to indicate which “round” we are on, we can use the 24-hour clock. The hours are simply numbered from 0 till 23 (or sometimes from 1 till 24). The afternoon hours are those from 13 till 24. The 24-hour time is commonly called the “military time” or astronomical time in the United States. In most countries of the world it is the dominant system used for bus, school, or TV schedules. How do we change a time expressed in the 12-hour clock to the 24-hour clock? z

For a.m. times the numbers don't change.

z

For p.m. times you add 12 to the hours.

The other way around, to change 24-hour clock times to 12-hour clock times, you subtract 12 hours from the afternoon times.

Elapsed Time or How Much Time Passes When finding out how much time passes between two different times, we are dealing with the difference. You can find the difference by starting from the earlier time and “adding up” the elapsing time until the latter time. Imagine turning the hand of a clock from the starting time on, and keeping track of how much time passes. How long was an airplane flight if the plane took off at 12:45 p.m. and landed at 5:10 p.m. ?

From 12:45 till 1:00 15 min From 1 till 5

4h

From 5 till 5:10

10 min

Total 4 h 25 min

Time differences can also be found using subtraction. Subtract the hours and minutes separately in their own columns. How much time passes between 2:10 a.m. and 8:43 a.m.?

8 h 43 m − 2 h 10 m 6 h 33 m

How much time passes between 4:46 p.m. and 7:13 p.m.? Notice you can't subtract 46 minutes from 13 minutes. Before you even start, you need to borrow 1 hour from the hours column. 1 hour is 60 minutes so add that to the minutes you have in the minutes column. Do NOT borrow 10 or 100 minutes. How much time passes between 9:42 p.m. and 2:45 a.m.? Here the p.m. changes to a.m. It is safer to figure this in two parts: first from 9:42 p.m. to midnight, and then from midnight to 2:45 a.m. If you subtract the two numbers, you get the time difference the other way around: From 2:45 to 9:42, which is not the right answer. (Of course, knowing that you can figure out the other by subtracting the answer from 12 hours.)

6 h 73 m

7 h 13 m − 4 h 46 m 2 h 27 m 9:42 p.m....10 p.m. = 18 min 10 p.m....midnight = 2 hours Midnight...2:45 a.m. = 2 h 45 min

How many minutes is the overlap between two shifts?

b. Make a schedule for a doctor. He assigns 30 minutes for each patient, and after three patients, he has a 20-minute break. Use the 24-hour clock. Time Patient 1 8:00 - 8:30 Patient 2 Patient 3 break Patient 4 Patient 5 Patient 6 break

When will it end? The meeting starts at 2:30 p.m. and lasts for 1 hour 15 minutes. Simply add the hours to the clock time hours, and minutes to the clock time minutes: 2 hours + 1 hour = 3 hours. 30 minutes + 15 minutes = 45 minutes. Answer: The meeting ends at 3:45 p.m. Jake started playing at 3:35 p.m. and played for 45 minutes. You can still add like you did above and get 3 hours 80 minutes, but 80 minutes is more than one hour! We need to see the 80 minutes as 60 + 20, where 60 minutes makes one hour. Therefore the final answer is 4 hours and 20 minutes, or 4:20 p.m. The other way is to add the starting time and the elapsing time. If it started raining at 10:53 and it rained for 4 hours and 40 minutes, when did the rain end?

10 h 53 m + 4 h 40 m 14 h 93 m

Add the minutes and the hours separately. Note the minutes go over 60, so we need to change the 93 minutes to 1 hour and 33 minutes. The final answer is 15:33 or 3:33 p.m.

= 15 h 33 m

6. When will it end? a. Guests came at 3:40 p.m. and stayed for 2 hours and 30 minutes. b. Making pizza takes 1 hour and 40 minutes. Mom starts at 13:45. c. The pool opens at 8 a.m. and is open for 10 1/2 hours. When does it close? d. Jen's exam lasted for 2 1/2 hours, starting at 8:45. e. The airplane takes off at 18:08 and flies for 3 hours and 55 minutes. f. The food went into the oven at 5:47 p.m. and baked for 35 minutes.

147

When did it start? One more possible problem is that you know when something ends and how long it lasted. The airplane landed at 4:30 p.m. The flight lasted for 3 hours and 40 minutes. When did the plane take off? You need to go backwards from the ending time. Start at 4:30 and let the minute hand travel in your mind backwards 3 full rounds, and then 40 minutes. Where do you end up? Alternatively, subtract in columns. You will again need to borrow an hour = 60 minutes. The answer 50 minutes would mean the clock time 12:50 p.m.

3h 90 m

4 h 30 m − 3 h 40 m 50 m

Mental math is always good! A 55-minute class ended at 21:10. When did it start? If it had lasted 1 hour, it would have started at 20:10. But it was 5 minutes shorter and therefore started 5 minutes later, or at 20:15. A TV show lasted 1 h and 35 min, ending at 11:20 p.m. When did it start? Subtract in columns or think it through mentally. Again you'd need to borrow. It started at 9:45 p.m.

10 h 80 m

11 h 20 m − 1 h 35 m 9 h 45 m

7. Find the starting time. a. From ____:_____ p.m. till 2:00 p.m. is 40 minutes.

b. From ____:_____ p.m. till 8:12 p.m. is 30 minutes.

c. From ____:_____ a.m. till 4:15 a.m. is 1 hour 30 minutes.

d. From ____:_____ p.m. till 7:34 p.m. is 4 hours10 minutes.

e. From ____:_____ a.m. till 5:00 p.m. is 6 hours 20 minutes.

f. From ____:_____ a.m. till 6:54 a.m. is 5 hours 32 minutes.

g. From ____:_____ p.m. till 15:30 p.m. is 45 minutes.

h. From ____:_____ p.m. till 16:30 p.m. is 2 hours 40 minutes.

8. Solve the problems. a. The Johnson family arrived in the city at 10:30 after a 3-hour, 15-minute car ride. When did they leave home? b. When should the family leave the city to make it home by 20:00? (assuming the driving time back home is the same)?

Temperature 1 In the Celsius scale, zero degrees is the freezing point of water. Below that temperature, water turns to ice. Rain falls as snow. When the temperature drops below 0 degrees, we use negative numbers. The temperature just 1 degree below zero is “minus one degree Celsius” or -1°C. When reading negative numbers on a thermometer, you read it sort of backwards. The line just under 0 degrees matches -1°C. The line below that is -2°C, and so on. The temperature in the picture on the right is -4°C. The example on the left shows the temperature of -16°C. The table lists some benchmark figures for the Celsius scale. Water boiling

Measuring Length Remember? This ruler measures in inches. The three lines between each two numbers on the ruler divide each inch into four parts, which are fourth parts of an inch.

The 2/4 mark is also the 1/2 mark. We normally use 1/2 instead of 2/4. This ruler measures in centimeters. The numbers signify whole centimeters. All the little lines between those are for millimeters. There are 10 millimeters in each centimeter. 10 mm = 1 cm 1. Measure the lines to the nearest fourth of an inch. Also measure them using a centimeter-ruler. a. ________ in. or _____ cm _____ mm

b. ________ in. or _____ cm _____ mm

c. ________ in. or _____ cm _____ mm

d. ________ in. or _____ cm _____ mm

e. ________ in. or _____ cm _____ mm

156

In the ruler below, each inch is divided into eight parts, which are eighth parts of an inch. Usually, the lines that show 1/2 inches are longer than other lines.

Compare it to the ruler below it, which shows fourth parts of an inch only. Notice that 2/8 inch = 1/4 inch, 4/8 inch = 1/2 inch, and 6/8 inch = 3/4 inch. This line is 1/8 inch long

This line is 3/8 inch long

This line is 2/8 or 1/4 inch long

This line is 5/8 inch long

Inches, Feet, Yards, and Miles Remember? 12 inches equal 1 foot. 12 in = 1 ft.

Three feet make up one yard. 3 ft = 1 yd.

1. Draw a long line on the yard and mark on it 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, etc. marks up until at least 20 ft. Walk along your line. First, try to take 1-foot steps. Then, try to take 2-foot steps. Then, try to take 1-yard steps. Which kind of steps were the most comfortable and easiest steps for you to take? After practicing the 2-foot steps, measure some distances using your steps. For example, measure how wide a street is, or how long a room is. Count your steps, and then figure out the distance in feet.

2. Measure out the length and width of two rooms in your house using feet and inches.

3. Convert. You will need your multiplication skills! a. 6 ft = ____ in. 11 ft = ____ in. d. 36 in. = ____ ft 50 in. = ____ ft ____ in. g. 6 yd = ____ ft 13 yd = ____ ft

b. 2 ft 5 in. = ____ in. 7 ft 8 in. = ____ in. e. 27 in. = ____ ft 100 in. = ____ ft ____ in.

c. 13 ft 7 in. = ____ in. 24 ft = ____ in. f. 64 in. = ____ ft 85 in. = ____ ft ____ in.

h. 2 yd 2 ft = ____ ft

i. 24 ft = ____ yd

5 yd 1 ft = ____ ft

42 ft = ____ yd

j. 13 ft = ____ yd ____ ft

k. 22 ft = ____ yd ____ ft

l. 32 ft = ____ yd ____ ft

17 ft = ____ yd ____ ft

29 ft = ____ yd ____ ft

40 ft = ____ yd ____ ft

How much is 3 × 2 ft 7 in? Multiply the feet and the inches separately: 3 × 2 ft = 6 ft and 3 × 7 in = 21 in. Then add those. But first you need to convert the 21 inches into 1 ft 9 in: 6 ft + 1 ft 9 in = 7 ft 9 in.

4. Multiply. a. 7 × 5 in = ____ ft ____ in

c. 8 × 3 ft 5 in = ____ ft ____ in

b. 4 × 4 ft 4 in = ____ ft ____ in

d. 7 × 2 ft 9 in = ____ ft ____ in

5. Solve the problems about the perimeter (P).

a. The long sides are 6 ft 4 in, The short sides are 2 ft 10 in. P = ___ ft ___ in

b. Each side is 8 in. P = ___ ft ___ in

c. Each side is 1 ft 8 in. P = ___ft ___ in

d. A rectangle's long sides are 5 ft 6 in, and its perimeter 16 ft 10 in. How long are the shorter sides?

A mile is used to measure long distances. 1 mile = 5,280 feet. Mile originates from the Roman measure “mille passus”, or thousand paces. (A pace is a double-step.) The Roman mile was exactly 5,000 Roman feet. Read here how the 5,000-foot mile became a 5,280-foot mile around the year 1300: http://www.sizes.com/units/mile.htm and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furlong

6. a. Which is a longer distance, 2 mi 300 ft or 13,000 ft? b. An airplane flies at the height of 21,000 feet. About how many miles is that? c. How many feet is four miles? d. About how many miles tall is Mt. Everest (elevation 29,029 ft)? e. Andrew can walk 300 feet in one minute. How many whole miles can he walk in an hour? 162

Metric Units for Measuring Length The basic unit in the metric system is the meter. All of the other metric units for measuring length have the word “meter” in them.

Units of length in the metric system 10

The conversion factors in the metric system are based on 10. That is why you will use either 10, 100, or 1,000 when changing one metric unit of length to another.

b. Mark on the second line marks from 1 foot to 13 feet. Make 1-yard hops. Compare: do the two kinds of hops feel about the same?

2. Measure how tall you and other people are in centimeters. Write it also using whole meters and centimeters. Name

How tall _____ cm = 1 m ____ cm.

163

Conversions between units Remember what millimeters look like on your ruler. 10 mm = 1 cm. Decimeters aren't usually marked on rulers.10 centimeters make 1 decimeter. 10 decimeters end up being 100 centimeters, and that is 1 meter. 1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 100 cm

1 cm = 10 mm

3. Convert between meters, centimeters, and millimeters. a. 5 m = _______ cm

b. 4 m 6 cm = _______ cm

c. 800 cm = _______ m

12 m = _______ cm

10 m 80 cm = _______ cm

239 cm = ___ m ____ cm

5000 3650 + 490 can change them all to grams first. 9140

You can also add kilograms to kilograms and grams to grams. Remember that 1,000 grams makes a kilogram.

5 kg + 3 kg 650 g + 490 g

4 kg 250 g + 5 kg 800 g

When some weights are given in kilograms and some in grams, you

= 5,000 g + 3,650 g + 490 g

Answer: 9,140 g or 9 kg 140 g

= 9 kg 1,050 g = 10 kg 50 g
