2. 0 subtracted from any number is the number. 5 - 0 = 5<br />
3. The difference between any number and itself is 0. 5 - 5 = 0<br />
4. When 0 is multiplied by 0, the product is 0. 0 x 0 = 0<br />
5. When any other number is multiplied by 0 the product is 0. 5 x 0 = 0<br />
Properties of One:<br />
1. Any number multiplied by one is the number. 5 x 1 = 5<br />
2. Any number , except 0, divided by itself equals 1. 5 ÷ 5 = 1<br />
3. One raised to any power is 1. 1 5 = 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1=1<br />
Solving Word Problems<br />
Word problems are math questions in sentence form. Finding the answer is<br />
called solving the problem.<br />
For example: Lucy Smith earns $1,500 each month. How much does she earn in<br />
a year<br />
1. Read and reread the problem.<br />
2. What does the problem ask you to do<br />
3. What facts are you given Sometimes you are given facts that you do not<br />
need and sometimes you have to know facts that are not given.<br />
4. Look for clues to help you decide what operation – addition, subtraction,<br />
multiplication or division – you need to use.<br />
