Compound Denominate Numbers: Practical Problems: Adding Compound Denominate Numbers
This clip presents a number of practical problems in which compound denominate numbers must be added. The process involves unit conversion to the larger unit where possible.
Compound Denominate Numbers: Working With Compound Denominate Numbers
This clip explains that a denominate number is, "
any number that is written with a unit." The clip notes that compound denominate numbers are numbers that have more than one unit. "When we add compound denominate numbers," the clips states, "
we ...
Subtracting Whole Numbers: Subtraction Approaches: Take-Away and Missing Addend
This clip explains that subtraction is used to solve two different types of problems. In the first, we start with some things and remove--or take away--some or all of them. The other approach to subtraction, called the missing addend, "
is like goi...
Subtracting Whole Numbers: Summary: Subtracting Whole Numbers
This clip summarizes how subtraction is used in two types of problems: those in which there's a "take-away" and those in which there's a missing addend. It also reviews the link between subtraction and addition, explaining how addition can be used t...
Subtracting Whole Numbers: Subtraction Problems May Not Be Rearranged
This clip explains that, while the addends can be rearranged or regrouped in addition without affecting the answer, the same is not true in subtraction.
Subtracting Whole Numbers: Using the Addition Facts in Subtraction
This clip makes the case that "since every subtraction fact is an addition fact in disguise, learning them isn't so hard."
Adding Signed Numbers: Adding More Than Two Signed Numbers
This clip explains that the best way to proceed when adding more than two signed numbers is to add all the positive addends and all the negative addends separately, then add the resulting sums.
Adding Signed Numbers: Practical Problems: Temperature and Distance
This clip provides two short exercises, one dealing with temperature changes, the other with changes in direction, to illustrate how to solve practical problems involving the addition of signed numbers.
Adding Fractions With the Same Denominator: Adding Mixed Numbers
This clip explains how to add mixed numbers. One method is to add the whole numbers and the fractions separately and combine the results. Another approach is to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, then add as usual, and then change the ...
Adding Fractions With the Same Denominator: Adding More Than Two Fractions
This clip explains that adding more than two fractions with the same denominator is a two-step process. The first step is adding the numerators; the second step is converting the improper fraction that results to a mixed number.
