Estimates• You have a calculator – use it !

• Main idea• Round the numbers in the problem so you can do

the math in your head…(or on your fingers)

• 12,357 becomes 12,000• 3.12 becomes 3

Properties of Numbers

• Remember the Names

• Commutative “commute” 3 + 5 = 5 + 3• Associative “associate at a party

in different groups” 4(2x + 3) = (2x + 3)4

• Distributive 3(5 + 1) = 3 × 5 + 3 × 1• Identity “mirror #” (Addition) -3 + 0 = -3• Identity “mirror #” (Multiplication) 5 × 1 = 5

Rules for Integers

• Adding• 2 positives = positive 2 negatives = negative• Subtracting• Subtraction is just adding the opposite sign• 3 – -5 = 3 + -(-5) = 3 + 5 = 8• Multiplying and Dividing

2 positives or 2 negative = positive 1 positive and 1 negative = negative
