Number Sense – Properties of Numbers
In this module you will review the number properties. Understanding the applications of the number properties makes solving everyday problems in Math easier. If you have mastered these properties, you are well on your way to becoming a master at solving word problems and other mathematical operations. This module will review several examples of how the properties of numbers can be applied to solving everyday problems. If you have ever calculated your restaurant bill or estimated your household budget you are actively using these properties.
At the completion of this module, you will be able to:
- Explain number properties and be able to identify them when they are applicable to a given contextual setting.
- Solve and interpret real-life problems involving patterns and verbalize and define the patterns to students.
- Develop activities which allow students to identify and relate real life problems involving patterns from their own experiences.
