Multiplication of Whole Numbers and Fractions
Strategies to multiply whole numbers: Breaking the Number Apart, Changing One Number to Make and Easier Problem, Creating and Equivalent Problem. To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. To multiply mixed numbers, change each mixed number to a fraction greater than one before multiplying. In both cases, simplify by looking for factors than make “one.”
Example 1: Multiply Example 2: Multiply
Solution: Solution:
Division of Whole Numbers
Example:
Janet has 1,780 marbles. She wants to put them into bags, each of which holds 32 marbles. How many full bags of
marbles will she have?
Samantha solved this problem by multiplying groups of
32 to reach 1,780.
Talisha solved this problem by subtracting groups of 32
from 1,780.
Using Place Value to Round and Compare Decimals
Example 1: Round 17.23579 to the nearest hundredth.
Solution: We start by identifying the digit in the hundredths place—the 3. The digit to the right of it is 5
or more so hundredths place is increased by one. 17.24
Example 2: Round 8.039 to the nearest tenth.
Summer Review for Students Entering Pre-Algebra 6
Solution: Identify the digit in the tenths place– the 0. The digit to the right of it is less than 5 so the tenths
place remains the same. 8.0 (the zero must be included)
Addition and Subtraction of Fraction Strategies
Multiple Representations of Portions
Portions of a whole may be represented in various ways as represented by this web. Percent means “per
hundred” and the place value of a decimal will determine its name. Change a fraction in an equivalent fraction
with 100 parts to name it as a percent.
Example 1: Write the given portion as a fraction and as a percent. 0.3
Solution: The digit 3 is in the tenths place so, . On a diagram or a hundreds grid, 3
parts out of 10 is equivalent to 30 parts out of 100 so .
Example 2: Write the given portion as a fraction and as a decimal. 35% Solution:
Locating Points on a Number Line
Points on a number line represent the locations of numbers. Numbers to the right of 0 are positive;
to the left of 0, they are negative.
Summer Review for Students Entering Pre-Algebra 6
Point a at right approximates the location of 2
.
Calculating Volumes
Volume is the amount of space a 3-D object occupies. You can think of the volume of a box as the number of
cubes that will completely fill it.
Example: How many cubes will fit in this box?
Olivia’s Solution:
Joshua’s Solution:
Plotting Points on a Coordinate Plane
You can locate any point on the coordinate plane by an ordered pair of numbers (x,y), called the coordinates. The first
number in the ordered pair is the x coordinate. It describes the number of units to the left or right of the origin. The second
number in the ordered pair is the y coordinate. It describes the number of units above or below the origin. To plot a point,
start at the origin and count along the x axis until you reach the x coordinate, count right for positive numbers, left for
negative. Then count up or down the number of the y coordinate (up for positive, down for negative.)
Line Plots
A line plot is a graph that shows frequency of data along a number line. It is best to use a line plot when comparing fewer
than 25 numbers. It is a quick, simple way to organize data.
Example
The following numbers are the result from a test taken by a class of 24 students:
16, 14, 17, 11, 14, 19, 11, 17, 12, 21, 22, 18, 11, 16, 15, 14, 18, 12, 13, 16, 17, 15, 13, 17
Summer Review for Students Entering Pre-Algebra 6
To make a line plot out of our data we determine a scale that includes all of the data in appropriate intervals. Then we plot
each number using X or other marks to show the frequency:
Area and Perimeter of Polygons
Area is the number of square units in a flat region. The formulas to calculate the areas of several kinds of quadrilaterals
or triangles are:
Perimeter is the number of units needed to surround a region. To calculate the perimeter of a quadrilateral or triangle, add
the lengths of the sides.
Order of Operations
The acronym PEMDAS may help: (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally)
First evaluate expressions in parentheses
Evaluate each exponential (for example, 52 = 5 · 5 = 25).
Multiply and divide each term from left to right.
Combine like terms by adding and subtracting from left to right.
Numbers above or below a “fraction bar” are considered grouped. A good way to remember is to circle the terms like in
the following example. Remember that terms are separated by + and – signs.
Example 1: Simplify 12 ÷ 22 − 4 + 3(1 + 2)
3
Summer Review for Students Entering Pre-Algebra 6
Simplify within the circled terms: Be sure to perform the exponent operations before dividing.
12 ÷ 22 = 12 ÷ 2 · 2 = 3
Then perform the exponent operation: 33 = 3 · 3 · 3 = 27
Next, multiply and divide left to right: 3(27) = 81
Finally, add and subtract left to right: 3 − 4 = −1
Histograms
A histogram is a method of showing data. It uses a bar to show the frequency (the number of times something
occurs). The frequency measures something that changes numerically. (In a bar graph the frequency measures
something that changes by category.) The intervals (called bins) for the data are shown on the horizontal axis
and the frequency is represented by the height of a rectangle
above the interval. The labels on the horizontal axis represent
the lower end of each interval or bin.
Example: Sam and her friends weighed themselves and here
is their weight in pounds: 110, 120, 131, 112, 125, 135, 118,
127, 135, and 125. Make a histogram to display the
information. Use intervals of 10 pounds.
Solution: See histogram at right. Note that the person weighing
120 pounds is counted in the next higher bin. Solution: See
histogram at right. Note that the person weighing 120 pounds is
counted in the next higher bin.

Box Plots
A box plot displays a summary of data using the median, quartiles, and extremes of the data. The box contains
the “middle half” of the data. The right
segment represents the top 25% of the data
and the left segment represent the bottom 25%
of the data.
Example: Create a box plot for the set of data
given in the previous example.
Solution:
Place the data in order to find the median
(middle number) and the quartiles (middle
numbers of the upper half and the lower half.)
Based on the extremes, first quartile, third
quartile, and median, the box plot is drawn.
The interquartile range IQR = 131–118 = 13.
Rewriting and Evaluating Variable Expressions
Expressions may be rewritten by using the Distributive Property: .
This equation demonstrates how expressions with parenthesis may be rewritten without parenthesis. Often this is called
multiplying. If there is a common factor, expressions without parenthesis may be rewritten with parenthesis. This is often
called factoring.
To evaluate a variable expression for particular values of the variables, replace the variables in the expression with their
known numerical values (this process is called substitution) and simplify using the rules for order of operations.
Example 1: Multiply and then simplify .
Solution:
First rewrite using the Distributive Property and then combine like terms.
Example 2: Evaluate for .

Solution:
Solving One-Step Equations
To solve an equation (find the value of the variable which makes the equation true) we want the variable by itself. To
undo something that has been done to the variable, do the opposite arithmetical operation.
Example 1: Solve: x − 17 = 49
Solution: 17 is subtracted from the variable. To undo subtraction of 17, add 17.
x = 49 + 17 ⇒ x = 66
