Integers, Decimals, and Fractions:

• Integers include whole numbers and their negatives (…-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2…).
• Decimals represent fractions using a base-10 system and can be converted to fractions.
Examples: (1.2, 5.369, 7.845)
• Fractions express parts of a whole or ratios and can be converted to decimals or
simplified. Examples: (7/2, 5/3, 45/781)

Rounding Numbers:

• Rounding simplifies numbers to a chosen place value.


• If the next digit is 5 or greater, round up; if less than 5, round down.

Definition of Product and Sum:

• Product: the result of multiplying two or more numbers.


• Sum: the result of adding numbers.

Order of Operations (PEMDAS):

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division (left to right), Addition/Subtraction


(left to right).
• Following this sequence ensures accurate calculation of complex expressions.

Expression vs. Equation:

• An expression includes numbers, variables, and operations but no equals sign.


• An equation shows equality between two expressions, often involving an unknown
(variable).
• A function is a relationship where each input (x) has exactly one output (y).

Rearranging Equations:

• Involves using inverse operations to isolate the desired variable.


• Keep in mind the shortcut: leave the variable alone on one side.
• Essential for solving for unknowns in algebraic equations.

Examples:
Or

Dividing or Multiplying Expressions and Equations:

• When multiplying or dividing expressions, apply properties like the distributive property
(spreading values).
• When working with equations, apply the same operation to both sides to maintain
balance.

Units and Unit Conversions:

• Units represent measurements such as length, weight, or time.


• Converting between units requires multiplying by appropriate conversion factors (e.g., 1
inch = 2.54 cm).

Coordinate Plane and Quadrants:

• The coordinate plane has an x-axis (horizontal) and a y-axis (vertical).


• Points are represented as (x, y) and fall into one of four quadrants based on the signs of
x and y.

Evaluating Functions:

• To evaluate a function, substitute (plug) the input (x-value) into the function rule and
compute the output (y-value).
• This process helps understand how input and output are related in a function.
