Exponents
how many times a base number is used. to compare number with exponents it is best to multiply them out or estimate what they might be. ex: 2*2=4, if you had 2*-2 the answer would be 1/4 or (1 over 2*2) ex: when you have a number that is being raised to zero it always equals 1. (195*0=1)
4. Extended thinking and complex reasoning
incorporate demands from other content ares in the development and support of real world mathematical arguments.
Join
involve adding or joining elements to a set. 3 quantities involved: the starting amount__?__ +56=85 the changing amount 29+__?__=85 the resulting amount 29+56=__?__ variations of the join problem include situations when the result is unknown, the change is unknown, or the starting amount is unknown.
Area and Array
involve finding the area of a rectangular area or arrangement. 5 rows of 17 apple trees ex:Multiplication->5x17=__ 85 palm trees/5rows Division->85 divided by 5=__
Part-Part_Whole
involve no action or change over time as happens with join and separate problems. Focus on the relationship between a set and its two subsets (or a whole and 2 parts) Variations involve situations the whole is unknown-> 29+56=__?__ part of the whole is unknown -> 29+__?__=85
Naturalistic assessment
involves evaluations that is based on the natural setting of the classroom. It involves the observations of students' performance and behavior in an informal context.
Equal groups or repeated addition
involves making a certain numbers of equal sized groups repeated 3x6=6+6+6 3 numbers involved: numbers of groups (factor), size of the group (factor), total number of the objects (product) ex:3x6 3 groups of 6 objects
Compare
involves no action, but involve comparision between 2 different sets- how much or how much less is one/than another. Variation: Difference unknown: 56+__=85 or 85-56=__ Larger unknown: 56+29=__ Smaller unknown: 29+__=85 or 85-29=__
Separate
involves removing elements 3quanities/ variations result unknown->85-29=__?__ change unknown->85-__?__=29 start unknown->__?__-56=29
Multiplicative Comparison
involves the comparison of 2 quantities manipulatively, involves finding "how many times as much" of 1 quantity is compared in another quantity, or "stretching" the original by a certain quantity.
Prime Numbers
is a whole number greater than 1 that has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. 2-the only even prime number, 3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,31,41,43,47,53,59,61,71,73,79,83,89,97 1 IS NOT PRIME
Composite Number
is a whole number greater than 1 that has more than two factors 4,6,8,9 1 IS NOT COMPOSITE
1
is not considered prime or composite

out of the box learners
3. Strategic thinking and complex reasoning
reasoning,planning, using evidence, and a higher level of thinking than the previous two levels; making conjectures is also at the this level.
2.Basic application of concepts and skills
requires engagement of some mental processing beyond a habitual response, and making some decisions as to how to approach the problem or activity, following a defined series of steps.
Performance assessment
requires that completion of a task, project, or investigations; communicates information ; or constructs a response that demonstrates knowledge or understanding of a skill or concept.
________ of U.S. democracy is a representative government. In a representative government, the people delegate their powers to elected officials. The elected leaders are accountable because they can be removed from office.

Objective assessment
testing that requires the selections of one item from a list of choices provided with the question. This type of assessment includes true false responses, yes- no answers and questions with multiple- choice answers.
Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
the greatest factor that two or more numbers have in common. ex: 6 is the greatest common factor of 18 and 30. Use the factor tree, include 1
