Look over the lessons in Chapter 4. Why do you think the editors of this textbook put all of this material together in one chapter? What connects all of the lessons? Are there any lessons in Chapter 4 that do not fit in the chapter? Also, do you think other lessons could be added to this chapter? If so, which ones, and why? If not, why not?
(Yes, there are many questions to answer here. You will be graded on your ability to produce well-reasoned answers.)

I don't think that any lessons don't fit into Chapter 4 however I don't get really how LCM and GCF has anything to do with scientific notation...
ReplyDeleteuh... I think that that we could have learned that we have to multiply powers when the number is inside and the other power is outside the parenthesis. But maybe not... just my opinion!!
ReplyDeleteI think they put all of this into one chapter because they are all connected. Sometimes you need to do a problem that requires GCF, LCM. Or a lot of times you have a problem where you need to add or subtract exponents with same base, then write the number in standard form, then bring it down to scientific notation. I think all the lessons fit in chapter four but it might have been better if they put GCF and LCM in one chapter and the exponents and scientific notation stuff in another. I think a lesson that taught how to add and subtract multiples with different basses could be added because I was wondering about that today.
ReplyDeleteI think everything was important about Chapter 4. I think the editors tried to connect the materials all together to make it more understandable and I think all the cahpters are important. I don't think anything should be added... (my opinion,)I think it is because there is more chapters to learn about fractions and other stuffs.
ReplyDeleteI think that the GCF and the LCM and Prime factors fit together, but I don't get why it has do do with science notations
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I think some of the sections have similarities, for instance, the factors and prime factorizations, simplifying fractions, GCF, and LCM. However, I don't understand why science notation is in the chapter.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion author of this book put this all together in this book because, maybe author wanted us to learn more (widely)in one chapter. I think LCM and GCF are related to each other but I don't think scientific notation and subtracting and adding exponents are related to LCM and GCF.

ReplyDeleteI don't know why the GCF & LCM related or has to do with Scientific natation...
ReplyDeleteI think the editors of this textbook put all these lessons together in chapter 4 because they are relevant to each other in a way that they are essential in each others' problems. For instance, you need to know LCD in order to unite denominators in to one number. However, I think it would be better if they created another chapter for lessons 6 to 8, which are exponents and scientific notation. I believe in this way the students don't have to struggle with two different main concepts. For example, a student might try to use exponent rules on a fraction problem.
ReplyDeleteScientific notation deals with very big or extremely small numbers that are hard to understand first at first glance, that's why we have GCM and LCM to help us understand these extremely big or small numbers in a simple way. That is why I think scientific notation, GCM, and LCM is all connected.
ReplyDeleteI think the editor put all of this material together in one chapter because all of them are related. How? Well, basically, you have to find the factors or prime factorization to do it. For example, to find the LCM, you find the factors of the number, and then find the base, and then you multiply all of them, and finds you the Least Common Multiple. For each Section, there are parts where you have to find all the factors, and then after that, you do the method. Since prime factorizatioin/factoring is used, they are all related. Also, it's better if we learn about all the things we have to know about factoring and all the processes and all that in one chapter is better since they include some similar steps. Well, the question for me is, how is Scientific Notation related to all of the other ones? I don't think you need to find the prime factorization for this. So, to me, I don't think Scientific Notation fits this chapter. I don't think we need any more lessons added in this chapter because there are too many things we need to memorize in this chapter already, like the process of finding the GCF, LCM, etc. It would be very confusing. After all, they are all similar. You know you have to find the prime factorization of this number, but you might not know what to do next. For example, you have to find the GCF, but instead you do the process of finding the LCM. It can be very confusing, so I don't think we need more lessons added.
ReplyDeleteI think that everything in chapter 4 were connected. For example, Dividing or multiplying exponents were connected. They were connected because you just had to add or subtract one another with similiar ideas. Also, LCM and GCF were connected because it was easy once you knew one thing.I don't think we need for lesson b/c they can become more confusing.
ReplyDeleteI think that the textbook editor put all these materials together because they are all about factorizing numbers. By factorizing numbers, you can find GCF and LCM and scientific notation. Also to compare fractions with different denominators, you need LCM to solve it. It doesn't seem it needs more materials and there's no material that I want to add because they already have the lessons that are needed.
ReplyDeleteI think that the editor used all the information together because GCF and LCM both use the factors and the prime factorization we learned at first. Also it is used for LCD and other things. However I thought that negative exponents and scientific notation could have been in a different chapter so we can study about it more detailed and also we can practice more of GCF LCM and LCD.
ReplyDeletei think that the reason why the editor put all of the information together because i think that they are all related to each other. The GCF and the LCM both use prime factorization. There is another thing called the LCD that is related to LCM. THe difference is that LCD uses denominators of fractions and that LCM uses multiples.
ReplyDeleteI think that the editor put all the sections in chapter 5 to review what we have learned and to use them in more difficult ways. However, I think that there are no sections that aren't needed in chapter 5
ReplyDeleteLook over the lessons in Chapter 4. Why do you think the editors of this textbook put all of this material together in one chapter? What connects all of the lessons? Are there any lessons in Chapter 4 that do not fit in the chapter? Also, do you think other lessons could be added to this chapter? If so, which ones, and why? If not, why not?
ReplyDeleteI think that they had it all together because they all have connection with each other. The connections are that if i want to find the one then i need the other thing to solve it. I think that the scientific notation didn't really fit there. And i think that they don't need to add more section because LCM, GCF goes well together.
I think that they put these sections all in Chapter 4 because they were all connected to each other. For example, finding the GCF and LCM are related, and also after finding the GCF, you need to simplify fractions.Another is for finding the LCM, you need to compare the fractions.Lastly, the rules of the exponents related to scientific notation.There should be only these sections because these sections are the only ones that are related and connected perfectly together.
ReplyDeleteLCM and GCF is related to each other since they have to do with prime factorization.In order to know the LCM of the two numbers, you need to know the prime factorization. Also, in order for you to know the GCF, you need to know the prime factorization. I don't think any other sections fit in this chapter. GCF and LCM are the only ones that fit together.
ReplyDeleteI think the editors of this textbook put all of this material together in one chapter because they all are related to factors. GCF and LCM are both used by factors and simplifying fractions can include factors too. We can also get the LCM and GCF for exponests. But one lesson that doesn't match with this chapter is the scintific notation lesson. It has nothing to do with factor or prime factorization. I don't think any other lesson could be added to this chapter because there is no other lesson that could be about factors or primfactorization.
