NUMBER SENSE & OPERATIONS

1. ROUNDING RULES Find the place youre rounding to. The digit to the right tells you what to do. Five and above just give a shove. Four and below just let it go. Thats the way we round in school. Now you try this rounding rule. (Repeat) 2. ADDITION Oh, the answer when you add is the sum, is the sum. Oh, the answer when you add is the sum. You must add up the addends. Maybe think of them as friends. Its as easy as counting on your fingers. (Repeat) Its as easy as counting on your fingers. Its as easy as counting on your fingers. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 3. SUBTRACTION When you are subtracting the difference youll find. You may be regrouping but not all the time. First start in the ones place, and see what is there. You may have to borrow a ten thats to share. The top digits smaller. You cannot subtract. Thats when you must borrow and not give it back. But if the top digit is the larger one, just do your subtracting and soon youll be done. 4. LONG DIVISION It is time for long division. Lets go through the steps. First divide, then multiply, subtract, and then bring down. Start all over if you can to step number one. You may have a remainder thats left when you are done. Start all over if you can to step number one. You may have a remainder thats left when you are done. Yes, you may have a remainder thats left when you are done.

changing to? Then you must make your decision divide or multiply? Divide or multiply? Divide or multiply? Smaller to large - you must divide. Divide or multiply? Divide or multiply? Larger to small - you multiply. Smaller to a larger unit - thats when you divide. Larger to a smaller unit - then you have to multiply. It is easy to remember. Small to large - you divide. Or you can think of the other, large to small - multiply. Divide or multiply? Divide or multiply? Smaller to large - you must divide. Divide or multiply? Divide or multiply? Larger to small - you multiply. Larger to small - you multiply.

DATA ANALYSIS
21. MEDIAN Med, med, median, is the middle one. Order the numbers from least to greatest, and find the median. (Teacher) (Repeat as a round) Order the numbers from least to greatest and find the median. 22. RANGE, MODE, MEAN Home, home on the range - where its the high number minus the low. Theres also the mode. Its the one you see most. For the mean you just add and divide. (Repeat) Oh, for the mean you just add and divide. 23. GRAPHS (Teacher) For data to compare, for data to compare - a bar graph is what you use for data to compare. (Teacher) For change over time, for change over time - a line graph is what you use for change over time. (Teacher) For parts of a whole, for parts of a whole - a pie graph is what you use for parts of a whole. For data to compare, for data to compare - a bar graph is what you use for data to compare. For change over time, for change over time - a line graph is what you use for change over time. For parts of a whole, for parts of a whole - a pie graph is what you use for parts of a whole.

16. AREA A-re-a. A-re-a. Length times the width. Length times the width. Count all the squares like a tile floor. Thats all you need. You dont need anymore. If you know the units it wont be a chore. Its square u-nits. A-re-a. (Repeat) Square u-nits. A-re-a. 17. VOLUME The formula for the volume is the length, times width, times the height. Or count all the cubes for the cubic units - even the ones out of sight. (Teacher) (Repeat). 18. FORMULAS The for-mu-la for perimeter is to add up all the sides. Add up all the sides, add up all the sides, add up all the sides, and get the linear units. The for-mu-la for area is the length times the width. The length times the width, the length times the width, the length times the width, and get the square units. The for-mu-la for volume is the length times width times height. Length times width times height, length times width times height, length times width times height, and get the cubic units. 19. MEASUREMENT (CUSTOMARY UNITS) Length and distance have their measures. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Inches, feet, yards, also miles. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Then theres weight or mass to measure. Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la. Ounces, pounds, and greatest tons. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-lala. Next is liquid capacity. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Cups, pints, quarts, and largest gallons. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Then theres time to measure also. Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la. Seconds, minutes, hours, days. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.............. Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. 20. CONVERTING UNITS When you must convert some units, heres an easy way. When you must convert some units, it wont have to take all day. First, decide your starting unit. What will it be

5. FRACTIONS (Teacher) A fraction has a number thats up. Its called the numerator. Its the one that tells us the part of any fraction. (Teacher) A fraction has a number thats down. Its called denominator. Its the one that tells us the whole of any fraction. That... is a fraction! 6. FRACTIONS (ORDER/COMPARE) Fractions, fractions, to order and compare - how do you know the larger one there? Crisscross multiply - youll see why. Crisscross multiply - its easy as pie. Fractions, fractions, to order and compare - thats how you know the larger one there. (Repeat) Fractions, fractions, to order and compare - thats how you know the larger one there.

GEOMETRY & SPATIAL RELATIONS

7. POLYGONS Polygons all around us. Polygons everywhere. Closed figures made up of line segments you would say that the sides make a fence. They have angles, corners or vertices. Its easy for you to see that a po-ly-gon is a shape around you and me. (Announcer) Some have four sides and angles. Others only have three. It doesnt matter how many there are - five, six, seven, or eight there could be. You just have to check that its closed and sides are straight as can be. Cause a po-ly-gon is a shape around you and me. (Announcer) 8. QUADRILATERALS There are quadrilaterals. There are quadrilaterals. There are quadrilaterals. Here are just a few: rectangle and a square, rhombus and trapezoid, a parallelogram. Just to name a few. (Repeat)

9. TRIANGLES A triangle can be labeled by its sides or its angles. There is scalene, and isosceles, and theres equilateral. One has no sides, one has two sides, one has three of equal sides. Just remember which is which, and youll be making great strides. Theres a right one, an acute one, and theres one thats called obtuse. Look at the angles they will tell you the best answer you should choose. 10. PENTAGON, HEXAGON, OCTAGON Patty had a pentagon, pentagon, pentagon. Patty had a pentagon that looked just like a house. A pentagon is made of five, made of five, made of five. A pentagon is made of five - its made of five straight sides. Harry had a hexagon, hexagon, hexagon. Harry had a hexagon that looked like honeycomb. A hexagon is made of six, made of six, made of six. A hexagon is made of six - its made of six straight sides. Ollie had an octagon, octagon, octagon. Ollie had an octagon that looked like a stop sign. An octagon is made of eight, made of eight, made of eight. An octagon is made of eight - its made of eight straight sides. 11. CONGRUENT FIGURES We have two congruent figures. We have two congruent figures. We have two congruent figures. Theyre the same shape and size. They look just like one another. They look just like one another. They look just like one another. Theyre congruent figures. They are the same shape and same size. They are the same shape and same size. They are the same shape and same size. Theyre congruent figures. We have two congruent figures. We have two congruent figures. We have two congruent figures. Theyre the same shape and size. 12. SIMILAR FIGURES Similar figures see with your eyes. They are the same shape but different size. If you put one shape on the other, its like a baby and a mother. (Repeat).

13. TRANSFORMATIONS A reflection is a flip, is a flip, is a flip. A reflection is a flip over a line. A translation is a slide, is a slide, is a slide. A translation is a slide to another side. A rotation is a turn, is a turn, is a turn. A rotation is a turn cause it turns around. A quarter turn is ninety degrees, ninety degrees, ninety degrees. A quarter turn is ninety degrees - whichever way you please. A half a turn is one eighty, one eighty, one eighty. A half a turn is one eighty - upside down youll see. A full turn is three sixty, three sixty, three sixty. A full turn is three sixty - the start is where itll be. 14. ORDERED PAIRS Ordered pairs, ordered pairs - find them on a grid. First is x and then the y. Its easy for a kid. Move right-up. Move right-up to find each ordered pair. Also called coordinates, just wait and youll be there. (Repeat) Also called coordinates, just wait and youll be there. Yeah!

MEASUREMENT
15. PERIMETER P-e-r-i-m-e-t-e-r. Im perimeter. I am the perimeter. Im perimeter, the distance around. Add up all the sides, you say. Add up all the sides, I say. Add the sides. Add the sides. What units? What units? Li-ne-ar. Im perimeter. I am the perimeter. Im perimeter, the path that goes around. Were perimeter. We are the perimeter. Were perimeter, the distance around. Add up all the sides, you say. Add up all the sides, we say. Add the sides. Add the sides. What units? What units? Li-ne-ar. Were perimeter. We are the perimeter. Were perimeter, the path that goes around. Yeah!
