Subtraction with Mixed Numbers
Here is a link to help with your Homework and Remembering 6-5 tonight. It demonstrates the regrouping method, which this teacher is calling borrowing. The video is 9:27 minutes long, but stop at 6:20. After 6:20 the video goes on to discuss creating common denominators, which we have not done yet.
Order of Operations
1. Do the operation within the parenthesis.
2. Multiply OR divide from left to right.
3. Add OR subtract from left to right.
Homework helpers might introduce a saying they learned when they were learning Order of Operations. There are steps within that saying that we don't want to learn - yet :)! The saying may be confusing, so please
disregard until we get to those other steps.
We don't want to lose any more bageegees ;)
Division and What To Do With the Remainder
A remainder is the amount left over after dividing. The remainder should be smaller than the divisor. If it's not, another (or more) group can be taken from the dividend.
Remainders have different meanings and affects on math problems. Below are the different types of remainders:
A remainder that is not part of the question.
A remainder that causes the answer to be rounded up.
A remainder that is a fractional part of the answer.
A remainder that is a decimal part of the answer.
A remainder that is the only part needed to answer the question.
A remainder that has to be added into the final answer.
