Review
Question 4.
Find each sum.
\(\frac{1}{10}\) + \(\frac{1}{100}\) =
\(\frac{5}{12}\) + \(\frac{3}{12}\) =
1\(\frac{1}{4}\) + 3\(\frac{3}{4}\) =
Answer:
\(\frac{11}{100}\),
\(\frac{8}{12}\) or \(\frac{2}{3}\),
5,
Explanation:
Asked to find sum \(\frac{1}{10}\) + \(\frac{1}{100}\) as denominators are not same we take common denominator as \(\frac{1X 10}{100}\) + \(\frac{1}{100}\) we get \(\frac{10 + 1}{100}\) = \(\frac{11}{100}\).
Now sum of \(\frac{5}{12}\) + \(\frac{3}{12}\) both have common denominators so we add numerators as \(\frac{5 + 3}{12}\) = \(\frac{8}{12}\) both goes in 4 we get \(\frac{4 x 2}{4 X 3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\).
Now sum of 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) + 3\(\frac{3}{4}\) both are in mixed fracttions we first convert them into fractions then add so \(\frac{1X 4 + 1}{4}\) + \(\frac{4 X 3 + 3}{4}\) = \(\frac{5}{4}\) + \(\frac{15}{4}\) both have common denominators so we add numerators as \(\frac{5 + 15}{4}\) = \(\frac{20}{4}\) as it goes in 4 (4 X 5 = 20) we get result as 5.
Question 5.
Find each difference.
2\(\frac{3}{8}\) – \(\frac{5}{8}\) =
\(\frac{3}{4}\) – \(\frac{1}{2}\) =
\(\frac{8}{10}\) – \(\frac{15}{100}\) =
Answer:
\(\frac{14}{8}\) or \(\frac{7}{4}\) or 1\(\frac{3}{4}\),
\(\frac{1}{4}\),
\(\frac{65}{100}\) or \(\frac{13}{20}\),
Explanation:
Asked to find the difference of 2\(\frac{3}{8}\) – \(\frac{5}{8}\) first we write the mixed fraction into fraction \(\frac{2 X 8 + 3}{8}\) – \(\frac{5}{8}\) =
\(\frac{19}{8}\) – \(\frac{5}{8}\) as both have common denominators we subtract numerators as \(\frac{19 – 5}{8}\) = \(\frac{14}{8}\) as both goes by 2 we get \(\frac{7 X 2}{4 X 2}\) = \(\frac{7}{4}\) as numerator is greater we write in mixed fraction as \(\frac{1 X 4 + 3}{4}\) = 1\(\frac{3}{4}\).
Now \(\frac{3}{4}\) – \(\frac{1}{2}\) as denominators are not the same first we make them common so \(\frac{3}{4}\) – (\(\frac{1}{2}\) X \(\frac{2}{2}\)) = \(\frac{3}{4}\) – \(\frac{2}{4}\) we have common denominator so we subtract numerators as \(\frac{3 – 2}{4}\) we get result as \(\frac{1}{4}\). Now \(\frac{8}{10}\) – \(\frac{15}{100}\) as denominators are not the same first we make them common as \(\frac{8 X 10}{10 x 10}\) – \(\frac{15}{100}\) = \(\frac{80}{100}\) – \(\frac{15}{100}\) now we subtract numerators as \(\frac{80 – 15}{100}\) = \(\frac{65}{100}\) as both numerator and denominator goes by 5 we get \(\frac{13 X 5}{20 X 5}\) = \(\frac{13}{20}\).

Question 5.
Austin rolled the dice again. This time he made these numbers: 467 and 594. Austin says he can add 460 and 601 and get the same sum as 467 and 594. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Answer:
Yes I agree,
Explanation:
As Austin rolled the dice again. This time he made these numbers: 467 and 594. Austin says he can add 460 and 601 and get the same sum as 467 and 594 lets see 467 + 594 = 1,061 now we add 460 and 601 we get same sum as 1,061 therefore I agree.
Question 6.
Austin says he can find the difference between 467 and 594 by finding the difference between 473 and 600. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Answer:
Yes I agree,
Explanation:
As Austin says he can find the difference between 467 and 594 by finding the difference between 473 and 600. So the difference between 594 and 467 is 127 and the difference between 473 and 600 is also 127 so I do agree.

Each pair of players needs:
- two 4C Roll & Subtract One Thousand Record Sheets
- 3 dice numbered 1-6
1. Each player labels a record sheet with the date and both players’ names. Players will keep track of their own results as well as those of their partner throughout the game.
2. Player 1 rolls the 3 dice and makes a 3-digit number with the digits rolled. Then she subtracts that number from 1,000, using the standard subtraction algorithm unless there’s another method that makes more sense. Player 2 also subtracts the number from 1,000 to check Player 1’s work, recording the results on his own record sheet.
3. Player 2 takes a turn to roll the dice, make a 3-digit number, and subtract it from 1,000.
Player 1 also subtracts the number from 1,000 to check Player 2’s work, recording the results on his own record sheet.
4. Players each take two more turns to roll and subtract 3-digit numbers from their total. Players share their strategies and check each other’s work after each turn.
Max I really thought about the best way to do 784 – 266.1 finally picked the algorithm. Even though I had to cross out and borrow, it still seemed to be the easiest way.
Alana Taking away on the number line worked great for my first turn, but lining the numbers up and just subtracting on my second turn was really easy—no borrowing.
5. Players take one more turn each. After 3 turns each, the player with a total closest to 0 wins. If one player gets a negative number, the other player automatically wins the game.
6. Both players record two comparison statements at the bottom of their sheets using the symbols >, =, or <. Then they circle the player who is closest to 0 without going into negative numbers.
Game Variations
A. Players can play Roll & Subtract 250 by changing the heading and the first number on the record
sheet, and rolling 2 dice each time. The dice they use can. either be numbered 1-6, 4-9, or one of each.
B. Players can play Roll & Subtract 10,000 by changing the heading and first number on the record sheet, and rolling 4 dice each time. Players can also choose to use 1, 2, or 3 dice numbered 4-9 instead of using 4 dice all numbered 1-6 if they want.
C. Players can change the rules so they’re allowed to go into negative numbers. Then the player closest to 0
after 3 turns, either under or over, wins the game.
