Mastering Number Properties: Factoring and Operations

  • The video guides through various question types in a number properties unit test, emphasizing the need for paper and pencil to take notes.
  • Factoring is explained as the reversal of the distributive property, where common factors between terms are identified and pulled out.
  • Expressing an expression back into a product is termed factoring, illustrated with an example involving common factors between terms.
  • The process of factoring involves finding the greatest common factor (GCF) between terms and dividing each term by it to simplify the expression.
  • Questions two and four focus on product rules when multiplying monomials, highlighting the addition of exponents when bases are the same.
  • Question three delves into the order of operations (PEMDAS), emphasizing the sequence of operations from left to right.
  • Question five involves dividing powers and expressing them as a single term by subtracting exponents when bases are the same.
  • Question six mirrors questions two and four, requiring the expression of multiplication as a single term by adding exponents when bases are the same.
  • Completion of the number properties unit test allows for three attempts, with additional attempts contingent on completing module work, IXL skills, and watching the instructional video.
