Whole Numbers
1. Place Value Learn how digits represent different values depending on their place in a number. Understand the ones, tens, hundreds, and beyond. 2. Comparing Numbers Master how to determine which numbers are greater or smaller using inequality symbols and number lines. 3. Rounding Numbers Practice rounding numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, or thousand to estimate values more easily.

Roman Numerals
Roman numerals are a number system from Ancient Rome that uses letters to represent numbers instead of digits. Basic Roman Numerals I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000 Quick Rules ✅ If a smaller numeral comes after a bigger one → add Example: VI = 5 + 1 = 6 ✅ If a smaller numeral comes before a bigger one → subtract Example: IV = 5 − 1 = 4

Integers
Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero. Integers do NOT include: ❌ decimals (like 2.5, -0.7) ❌ fractions (like ½, -3/4) 🔢 Types of Integers 1) Positive Integers These are numbers greater than 0: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … Example: +8 means you have 8 dollars. 2) Negative Integers These are numbers less than 0: -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, … Example: -8 means you owe 8 dollars or you are 8 below zero. 3) Zero 0 is an integer too! It is the number in the middle of positive and negative numbers. 📍 Integers on a Number Line Integers can be shown on a number line: Numbers to the right of 0 are positive Numbers to the left of 0 are negative Example: … -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 … ➕➖ Integer Operations (How They Work) Adding Integers ✅ Same signs → add, keep the sign 5 + 3 = 8 (-5) + (-3) = -8 ✅ Different signs → subtract, keep the sign of the bigger number 7 + (-2) = 5 (-9) + 4 = -5 Subtracting Integers Subtracting is the same as adding the opposite: Example: 6 − 2 = 4 6 − (-2) = 6 + 2 = 8 (-6) − 2 = -8 (-6) − (-2) = -6 + 2 = -4 Multiplying & Dividing Integers ✅ Same signs → positive (-4)(-3) = 12 4 ÷ 2 = 2 ✅ Different signs → negative (-4)(3) = -12 12 ÷ (-3) = -4 🌎 Real-Life Examples of Integers Integers are used all the time: 📌 Temperature 10°C (positive) -5°C (negative) 📌 Money $20 = you have money -$20 = you owe money 📌 Elevation 200 feet above sea level -50 feet below sea level 📌 Sports +3 points gained -3 points lost

Pre-Algebra

Ratios and proportions are ways to compare numbers and show relationships between quantities. They’re used all the time in real life—recipes, maps, shopping, speed, and more.


Ratios

A ratio compares two quantities by showing how many times one quantity is compared to another.

Ways to Write a Ratio

  • Using a colon:3 : 4

  • As a fraction: 3/4

  • Using words: 3 to 4

All three mean the same thing.

Example of a Ratio

If there are 3 apples and 4 oranges, the ratio of apples to oranges is:

3 : 4

Simplifying Ratios

Just like fractions, ratios can be simplified.

Example:

6:8 = 3:4

(Divide both numbers by 2)


Proportions

A proportion is an equation that says two ratios are equal.

Example of a Proportion

2/3 = 4/6

Both ratios represent the same comparison, so this is a true proportion.


Solving Proportions

To solve proportions, we often use cross multiplication.

Example

x/5 = 6/10

Cross multiply:

10x = 3

x = 3


Key Differences

Ratios Proportions
Compare two quantities Show two ratios are equal
Written as 3:4 or 3/4 Written as an equation
Can be simplified Can be solved for a variable

Real-Life Examples

  • Recipes: 2 cups of flour for every 1 cup of sugar

  • Maps: Scale shows distance

  • Shopping: Unit prices

  • Speed: Miles per hour
