Mathematics 6: Numeracy

Adding and subtracting integers can be as confusing as a confundus charm! But with some will power you can throw that charm off and you can master integers!

Learn all about exponents (aka powers) in math!

Students will apply what they know about factorization to prime numbers.

Prime factorization by the factor tree method is a way to break down a composite number into its prime factors.

Today you'll learn about exponents -- which is a multiplication function.

In this video, students will see how negative numbers are applied to temperature. They'll also see how to apply changes to temperature on thermometers (it's addition and subtraction but don't tell them!)

In this video, you'll get some practice adding negative number together..

In this video, you'll practice subtracting negative numbers from negative numbers.

What are negative numbers? Are they evil like Slytherin? No! On the number line you'll see negative numbers on the left side of the zero

Learn about the real-life places that we use negative numbers in!

Basic intro video showing positive and negative numbers on the number line.

Learn a trick to make it easier to add and subtract negative numbers.

In this lesson you will learn how to use positive and negative numbers by thinking about situations with elevations.

In this lesson you will learn how to use positive and negative numbers by thinking about situations with temperature.

Behold, a centuries-old math trick that uses a lattice grid to multiply two-digit numbers. The mystery is straight and simple. It's not magic... it's math!

In this lesson you will learn how to divide a 4 digit number by a two digit number by using long division.

Learning long division can feel a little like being in Potions class with Professor Snape. But just like Harry, if you persevere, you'll learn it!

Using the ideas of equivalent fractions, we can learn if two rations form a proportion.

Another way of solving a proportion with cross multiplication.

Not all proportions can be solved this way but if we happen to see a relationship then it's a good way to solve the proportion.

Learn how to find the ratio between two things. In this video, we find the ratio of apples to oranges.

This video provides a good introduction to understanding ratios.

Learn about solving percentages when you're missing the total number

Ratios are about comparing two numbers through division -- which sounds weird and confusing. If you watch this video though, you'll be well on your way to understanding ratios!

How are fractions and ratios the same? How are they different? Is 2:5 the same as 2/5?
