Explain why the sum of two odd numbers is an even number.
The sum of two odd numbers is always an even number because an odd number is just an even number plus one, and if there are two odd numbers being added, then it will be an even number plus an even number plus two, so those three even numbers wold equal an even number.

(This scale shows weight to the nearest 1/2 pound) On consecutive days, one person's readings were 151.0 and 151.0 on the scale. Is it possible that the person had actually gained or lost weight? Explain
Yes, because the scale only weighs to the nearest half-pound, so one day they could weigh 151.27 and then 151.09, but the scale would still show 151.0 for both days
You need to buy a ladder to climb onto your roof. Your rain gutters along the bottom edge of your roof are 13 ft. off the ground. You have bushes around the perimeter of your house, so you will have to place the base of your ladder 5 feet out from your house. Can you buy a 15-ft. ladder and use it to reach the roof of your house? Explain.
Yes, you can buy a 15-ft. ladder and use it because of the pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2 --> 13^2 + 5^2 = c^2 --> 169 + 25 = c^2 --> 194 = c^2 --> c = 13.93 ft.)
Conceptual Subitizing

If 260 bas = 1.32 x 10^3 bos, which is larger, a ba or a bo?
a ba is larger because only 260 bas can equal 1.31 x 10^3 bos, thus it takes fewer bas to make the same amount
If 0.19 cons = 0.095 cins, which is larger, a con or a cin?
a cin is larger because only 0.095 cinc can equal 0.19 cons, thus it takes fewer cins to make the same amount

Does the associative property hold true for subtraction? In other words, does a-(b-c)=(a-b)-c? Justify your answer
a-(b-c) does not equal (a-b)-c because some amount (b-c) taken from another group (a) will not equal the same amount if some amount (c) is taken from another group (a-b). Ex: 5-(3-2)=4, but (5-3)-2=0
Does the commutative property hold true for subtraction? In other words, does a-b=b-a? Justify your answer
a-b does not equal b-a because amount(a) taken from another group (b) will not equal the same amount if some amount (b) is taken from another group (a). Ex: 5-3=2, but 3-5=-2
If 150 ags = 100 aps, which is larger, an ag or an ap?
an ap is larger because only 100aps can equal 150ags, thus is takes fewer aps to make the same amount

To solve 29+45, Jessie said: "I did 20 and 40 and got 60. Then I did 9 and 5 and I got 14. That was another ten, so now I have 7 tens and 4 extra ones. That's 74. (29+45=20+9+40+5=20+40+9+5)

Formula involving the number of vertices (V), edges (E), and faces (F) of any polyhedron
F + V - 2 = E
Given the base of a prism has n side, how many faces (F), vertices (V), and edges (E) does it have? Reason about the shape itself to explain how you derived each expression.
F = n + 2 because there are two base faces and another base coming from each side to connect the two bases. V =2n because each face will connect at the vertex of each base, and since there are two bases, you multiply the number of sides by 2. E = 3n because you count the edges of each base (2n) and add the edges coming off of each side of the base (n), thus giving you 3n.

NL - OL = x x / OL = ratio APPLY TO NEW SIDE ratio x OL = b b + OL = NL
Do a hexagon, pentagon, and heptagon together tessellate around a point?
No, because a pentagon's vertex angle measurement is 108*, a hexagon's vertex angle measurement is 120*, and a heptagon's vertex angle measurement is 128.6*. For these three shapes to tessellate, they must add up to 360*, but these three shapes add up to only 356.6*

The child would start with 58 and then incrementally decrease by 10 (58, 48, 38) and use his fingers to count down the remaining 7 (38, 37, 36, 35, 34, 33, 32, 31) to get the answer of 31.
The Order Irrelevance Principle
The order in which objects are counted doesn't doesn't affect how many there are
True or False. Justify. Some kites are rectangles
True beaus a rectangle needs four 90 degree angles, and a kite has congruent adjacent ides, and a rectangle is sometimes a square, thus all four sides are congruent, which creates a kite
True or False. Justify. All squares are kites
True because a kite has congruent adjacent sides and since a square has all four congruent side, the adjacent sides will always be congruent, thus making it a kite.
True or False. Justify. All rectangles are parallelograms
True because a parallelogram has two sets of parallel sides and a rectangle, with four 90 degree angles, must have two sets of parallel sides
True or False. Justify. If a parallelogram has at least one right angle, it is a rectangle
True because if there is one right angle, the opposite angle also has to be a right angle in order to keep the opposite sides parallel, thus forcing the shape to have all four 90 degree angles
True or False. Justify. Every rhombus is a parallelogram
True because in order for all sides to be congruent in a rhombus, the opposite side must be parallel
True or False. Justify. Two Regular octagons and squares (together) will tessellate
True because two regular octagons and a square, coming together at a point will add up to 360 degrees, therefore, it will tessellate
True or False. Justify. Every triangle has at least one acute angle
True because, in order for the angles of any triangle to add up to 180 degrees, there must at least be one angle with less than 90 degrees
How many points determine a line?

When using our standard addition algorithm why do we add from the right to left rather than from left to right?
We add from right to left because adding from left to right causes a lot of erasing and crossing out of the digits in each column when the sum of the digits in that column is greater than 9. When we add right to left, it is cleaner and we do not need to cross out any digits of the place value before.
if A and B are both multiples of x, explain why it is true that A + B is also a multiple of x.
When A can be divided equally by x and B can be equally divided by x, when both A and B are added together, they are still able to be equally divided by x, thus showing that A + B is a multiple of x.
Does the associative property hold true for subtraction? In other words, does a/(b/c)=(a/b)/c? Justify your answer
a/(b/c) does not equal (a/b)/c because some amount (a) divided into some amount of groups (b/c) does not equal the same amount if some number (a/b) was divided into some amount of groups (c). Ex: 9/(5/2)=3.6, but (9/5)/2=0.9
a/0
a/0 = undefined because a/0=c iff a=0xc and a cannot equal 0. In this equation, a must be 0, but a cannot equal 0, so a/0 is undefined.
Does the commutative property hold true for division? In other words, does a/b=b/a? Justify your answer
a/b does not equal b/a because some amount (a) divided into some amount of groups (b) does not equal the same amount if some number (b) was divided into some amount of groups (a) Ex: 15/5=3, but 5/15=0.3333...
