WE will have a NYS Mathematics Test  on Wednesday, Thursday and  Friday, April 24th, 25th, and 26th. Please make every effort to have your child attend school on those days. We have been reviewing in class and our test will be based on all of the following skills.. . You will need to be competent in the following skills to be successful.

These are the topics that will be on the test:

* Be able to identify all the vocabulary from the unit:

integers, positive numbers, negative numbers,rational numbers,opposite numbers,inequality, absolute value, ordered pair, coordinate plane, x axis, y axis, quadrant, perimeter, area, parallel, length, width.

You should be able to:

If a number is negative or positive in a real life situation.  ( temperature, bank acct)

What the absolute value of a number is.

If an inequality is a true statement. 

How to write and inequality.

How to draw and label the coordinate plane.

How to list ordered pairs correctly.

How to plot ordered pairs on the coordinate plane.

How to label the quadrants on a coordinate plane.

perimeter ; area; volume; polyhedron; congruent; parallel; perpendicular; surface area; prism; pyramid; vertices; faces; edges; length; width

You should be able to determine the proper name for each polyhedron using its base to help you.

You should be able to determine the number of faces, vertices and edges on any given polyhedron.

You should be able to determine the surface area of  a rectangular prism and a triangular prism. 

You should be able to effectively use the formula for finding the surface area of triangular and rectangular prisms.

SA = 2lw + 2hw + 2lh

*Be able to identify all vocabulary in the unit including: polygon,convex polygon, pentagon quadrilateral, hexagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon, triangle, acute triangle, isosceles triangle, right triangle, obtuse triangle, equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, rhombus, square, rectangle, trapazoid, area, perimeter,congruent,volume,angle,segment, line segment, ray,surface area, net.*

* Be able to identify polygons and convex polygons

*Be able to identify the properties of a polygon

*Be able to calculate the perimeter of a polygon

*Be able to calculate the area of regular polygons such as: squares, rectangles, rhombus, and triangle.

Perimeter - the total distance around the outside of a 2 dimensional shape or object

Area- the space inside a two dimensional shape or object.

Area formulas:

Rectangle: A= l x w

Triangle: A = 1/2 (b x h)

Parallelogram A = b x h

Irregular polygon:

Cut it into regular polygons 

label all measures on each polygon

calculate area of each polygon

total up the areas

Be able to add and subtract fractions with the same denominator.

*Be able to add and subtract fractions with different denominators

*Be able to add and subtract mixed numbers with like and unlike denominators.

*Be able to simplify fractions to lowest terms.

*Be able to model the multiplication of fractions.

*Be able to use the multiplication of fractions algorithm to successfully multiply fractions and mixed numbers.

* Be able to model the division of fractions.

* Be able to use the division algorithm to successfully divide fractions and mixed numbers.

Use your notes and any assignments that  we have completed to help you study.

KCF..

You should know this vocabulary for the unit. It is IMPORTANT that you can speak mathematically and understand the terms we are using.

Prime Number - Any whole number greater than 1 that has only two factors...1 and itself.

Composite Number - Any whole number greater than 1 that has more than 2 factors.

Multiple - A multiple of a number is the product of that number and any whole number

(the multiplication table for that number)

Greatest Common Factor: The greatest whole number that is a common factor of two or more whole numbers.

Least Common Multiple: The lowest whole number greater than 0 that is a common multiple of two or more numbers.

Quotient - The answer to the division problem.  ( shown as a remainder, fraction or decimal)

Factor- Any number that is multiplied by another to produce a product

Product- The answer to a multiplication problem.

EXAMPLES: 

Greatest Common Factor:  GCF

32: 1,2,4,8,16,32 The GCF of 32 and 48 is 16

48: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,16,24,48

Least Common Multiple: LCM

5:  5, 10,15, 20, 25, 30, 35 The LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.

7:  7, 14, 21, 28, 35

Ratios and Proportions

 How to write a ratio

How to write equal ratios

Use a tape diagram to write a ratio

Use  double number line to illustrate a ratio

Solve unit rate problems using unit pricing

Understand that percent means hundredths.

Find percent of a quantity.

Plot the pairs of values in a table on a coordinate plane.

Use a table to find equivalent and reason about equivalent ratios.

Write a ratio describing the relationship between two quantities, use three different formats 

3 to 4 , 3:4 , 3/4
