Trang 18Letter from the Author xvii
Dear Student,
We study mathematics because of its importance to our lives Our school schedule, our trip to the store, the preparation of our meals, and many of the games we play involve mathematics You will find that the word problems
in this book are often drawn from everyday experiences
As you grow into adulthood, mathematics will become even more important In fact,
your future in the adult world may depend on the mathematics you have learned
This book was written to help you learn mathematics and to learn it well For this to
happen, you must use the book properly As you work through the pages, you will see
that similar problems are presented over and over again
Solving each problem day after day is the secret to success.
Your book is made up of daily lessons and investigations Each lesson has three parts
1 The first part is a Power Up that includes practice of basic facts and mental math
These exercises improve your speed, accuracy, and ability to do math “in your
head.” The Power Up also includes a problem-solving exercise to familiarize you
with strategies for solving complicated problems
2 The second part of the lesson is the New Concept This section introduces a new
mathematical concept and presents examples that use the concept The Practice
Set provides a chance to solve problems involving the new concept The problems
are lettered a, b, c, and so on
3 The final part of the lesson is the Written Practice This problem set reviews
previously taught concepts and prepares you for concepts that will be taught in
later lessons Solving these problems helps you remember skills and concepts for a
long time
Investigations are variations of the daily lesson The investigations in this book often
involve activities that fill an entire class period Investigations contain their own set of
questions instead of a problem set
Remember, solve every problem in every practice set, written practice set, and
investigation Do not skip problems With honest effort, you will experience
success and true learning that will stay with you and serve you well in the future.

Net of a Cone
Materials needed: unlined paper, compass, scissors, glue or tape, ruler.
Using a compass, draw a circle with a radius of at least two inches Cut out the circle and make one cut from the edge to the center of the circle Form the lateral surface
of a cone by overlapping the two sides of the cut The greater the overlap, the narrower the cone Glue or tape the overlapped paper so that the cone holds its shape.
To make the circular base of the cone, measure the diameter of the open end of the cone and use a compass to draw a circle with the same diameter
(Remember, the radius is half the diameter.) Cut out the circle and tape it in place using two pieces of tape
base lateral surface
area of the lateral surface of a cone is to calculate the area of the portion of a circle represented by the net of the lateral surface Use a protractor to measure the central angle of the lateral surface of the cone you created The measure of that angle is the fraction of a 360° circle represented by the lateral surface Use a ruler

PROBLEM-SOLVING OVERVIEW
Problem Solving
problems We face mathematical problems in our daily lives, in our careers, and in our efforts to advance our technological society We can become powerful problem solvers by improving our ability to use the tools we store in our minds In this book we will practice solving problems every day
four-step
problem-solving
process
Solving a problem is like arriving at a destination, so the process of solving
a problem is similar to the process of taking a trip Suppose we are on the mainland and want to reach a nearby island
Mainland
Island
Problem-Solving Process Step 1:
Understand Know where you are and where you want to go
Take the journey to the island
Verify that you have reached your desired destination
Trang 23When we solve a problem, it helps to ask ourselves some questions along the way.
Follow the Process Ask Yourself Questions Step 1: Understand What information am I given?
What am I asked to find or do?
Step 2: Plan How can I use the given information to
solve the problem?
What strategy can I use to solve the problem?
Step 3: Solve Am I following the plan?
Is my math correct?
Step 4: Check (Look Back) Does my solution answer the question
that was asked?
Is my answer reasonable?
Follow the Process Ask Yourself Questions
Below we show how we follow these steps to solve a word problem
Example
Josh wants to buy a television He has already saved $68.25 He earns $35 each Saturday stocking groceries in his father’s store The sizes and prices of the televisions available are shown at right If Josh works and saves for 5 more weekends, what is the largest television he could buy?
Solution
Step 1: Understand the problem We know that Josh has $68.25 saved
We know that he earns $35.00 every weekend We are asked to decide which television he could buy if he works for 5 more weekends
Step 2: Make a plan We cannot find the answer in one step We make a
plan that will lead us toward the solution One way to solve the problem is to find out how much Josh will earn in 5 weekends, then add that amount to the money he has already saved, then determine the largest television he could buy with the total amount of money
Step 3: Solve the problem (Follow the Plan.) First we multiply $35 by 5
to determine how much Josh will earn in 5 weekends We could also find 5 multiples of $35 by making a table
Amount $35 $70 $105 $140 $175
Televisions
15" $149.99 17" $199.99 20" $248.99
Trang 24Problem-Solving Overview 3
$35
$175Josh will earn $175 in 5 weekends
Now we add $175 to $68.25 to find the total amount he will have
$175+ 68.25
$243.25
We find that Josh will have $243.25 after working 5 more weekends When
we compare the total to the prices, we can see that Josh can buy the 17″
television
Step 4: Check your answer (Look Back.) We read the problem again
The problem asked which television Josh could buy after working five weekends We found that in five weekends Josh will earn $175.00, which combined with his $68.25 savings gives Josh $243.25 This is enough money to buy the 17″ television
1 List in order the four steps in the problem-solving process
2 What two questions do we answer to help us understand a
problem?
Refer to the text below to answer problems 3–8
Mary wants to put square tiles on the kitchen floor The tile she has selected is 12 inches on each side and comes in boxes of 20 tiles for
$54 per box Her kitchen is 15 feet 8 inches long and 5 feet 9 inches wide How many boxes of tile will she need and what will be the price of the tile, not including tax?
3 What information are we given?
4 What are we asked to find?
5 Which step of the four-step problem-solving process have you
completed when you have answered problems 3 and 4 ?
6 Describe your plan for solving the problem Besides the arithmetic,
is there anything else you can draw or do that will help you solve the problem?
7 Solve the problem by following your plan Show your work and any
diagrams you used Write your solution to the problem in a way
someone else will understand
you used the information correctly Be sure you found what you were asked to find Is your answer reasonable?
Trang 25to travel from the mainland to the island Other strategies might not be as effective for the illustrated problem For example, choosing to walk or bike across the water are strategies that are not reasonable for this situation.
Problem-solving strategies are types of plans we can use to solve
problems Listed below are ten strategies we will practice in this book You may refer to these descriptions as you solve problems throughout the year
Act it out or make a model Moving objects or people can help us visualize
the problem and lead us to the solution
Use logical reasoning All problems require reasoning, but for some
problems we use given information to eliminate choices so that we can close in on the solution Usually a chart, diagram, or picture can be used to organize the given information and to make the solution more apparent
Draw a picture or diagram Sketching a picture or a diagram can help us
understand and solve problems, especially problems about graphs or maps
or shapes
Write a number sentence or equation We can solve many word problems
by fitting the given numbers into equations or number sentences and then finding the unknown numbers
Make it simpler We can make some complicated problem easier by using
smaller numbers or fewer items Solving the simpler problem might help us see a pattern or method that can help us solve the complex problem
Find a pattern Identifying a pattern that helps you to predict what will
come next as the pattern continues might lead to the solution
Make an organized list Making a list can help us organize our thinking
about a problem
Guess and check Guessing a possible answer and trying the guess in
the problem might start a process that leads to the answer If the guess
is not correct, use the information from the guess to make a better guess Continue to improve your guesses until you find the answer
Make or use a table, chart, or graph Arranging information in a table,
chart, or graph can help us organize and keep track of data This might reveal patterns or relationships that can help us solve the problem
Work backwards Finding a route through a maze is often easier by
beginning at the end and tracing a path back to the start Likewise, some problems are easier to solve by working back from information that is given toward the end of the problem to information that is unknown near the beginning of the problem
Trang 26Problem-Solving Overview 5
9 Name some strategies used in this lesson
The chart below shows where each strategy is first introduced in this textbook
or Equation
This is a description of the way we solved the problem about tiling a kitchen
First, we round the measurements of the floor to 6 ft by 16 ft We multiply to find the approximate area: 6 × 16 = 96 sq ft Then we count
by 20s to find a number close to but greater than 96: 20, 40, 60, 80,
100. There are 20 tiles in each box, so Mary needs to buy 5 boxes of tiles We multiply to find the total cost: $54 × 5 = $270.
10 Write a description of how we solved the problem in the example
Other times, we will be asked to write a problem for a given equation
Be sure to include the correct numbers and operations to represent the equation

Solve We use a number line for our diagram We count two spaces forward from zero and then one space back and write “1” above the tick mark for 1 From that point, we count two spaces forward and one space back and write “2” above the 2 We continue until we reach the tick mark for 10 The numbers we write represent the total number of backward steps by the robot
We reach 10 after having taken eight steps back The robot reaches the charger unit after taking eight steps back
New Concept Increasing Knowledge
The numbers we use in this book can be represented by points on a number line
Number line
Points to the right of zero (the origin ) represent positive numbers Points
to the left of zero represent negative numbers Zero is neither positive nor negative
but not all integers are whole numbers We will study numbers represented
by points between the tick marks later in the book
Classify Give an example of an integer that is not a whole number
(members) of the set within the braces
The set of integers
Trang 29The absolute value of a number is the distance between the number and the origin on a number line Absolute value is always a positive number because
it represents a distance Thus, the absolute value of −5 (negative five) is 5, because −5 is 5 units from zero Two vertical bars indicate absolute value
“The absolute value of negative five is five.”
−5 = 5
We can order and compare numbers by noting their position on the number line We use the equal sign and the greater than/less than symbols (> and <, respectively) to indicate a comparison When properly placed between two numbers, the small end of the symbol points to the lesser number

A number of problems in this book will ask us to “fill in the missing digits”
in an addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division problem We can work backwards to solve such problems
Problem: Copy this problem and fill in the missing digits:
$_0_8
− $432_
$4_07 Understand We are shown a subtraction problem with missing digits We are asked to fill in the missing digits
digits one-by-one This is a subtraction problem, so we can look at each column and think of “adding up” to find missing digits
Solve We look at the first column and think, “7 plus what number equals 8?” (1) We write a 1 in the blank We move to the tens column and think,
“0 plus 2 is what number?” We write a 2 in the tens place of the minuend (the top number) Then we move to the hundreds column and think, “What number plus 3 equals a number that ends in 0? We write a 7 in the difference and remember to regroup the 1 in the thousands column We move to the thousands column and think, “4 plus 4 plus 1 (from regrouping) equals what number?” We write a 9 in the remaining blank

The fundamental operations of arithmetic are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division Below we review some terms and symbols for these operations
Terminology
addend + addend = sum minuend − subtrahend = difference factor × factor = product dividend ÷ divisor = quotient

When we read a novel or watch a movie we are aware of the characters, the setting, and the plot The plot is the storyline Although there are many different stories, plots are often similar
Many word problems we solve with mathematics also have plots
Recognizing the plot helps us solve the problem In this lesson we will consider word problems that are solved using addition and subtraction The problems are like stories that have plots about combining, separating, and comparing
Problems about combining have an addition thought pattern We can
calculate a desired result
