Introduction to Teaching Mathematics in English for Arab Teachers

Sets of Numbers
- Natural Numbers (N): {1, 2, 3, …}

- Whole Numbers (W): {0, 1, 2, 3, …}

- Integers (Z): {…, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}

- Rational Numbers (Q): Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction (a/b), where b ≠ 0

- Irrational Numbers (I): Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction (e.g., π, √2)

- Real Numbers (R): All rational and irrational numbers combined

Decimal Number System


- Definition: Base-10 system using digits 0-9.

- History: Originated from Hindu-Arabic numerals and introduced to Europe by Arab


mathematicians.

- How It Works: Uses place values based on powers of 10.

Place Value Concept


- Each digit's value depends on its position.

- Example: 7,482 = (7 × 1,000) + (4 × 100) + (8 × 10) + (2 × 1)

- Decimal Example: 52.63 = 50 + 2 + 0.6 + 0.03

Different Ways to Represent a Number


- Standard Form: 4,327

- Word Form: Four thousand three hundred twenty-seven

- Expanded Form: 4,000 + 300 + 20 + 7

- Expanded Notation: (4 × 1,000) + (3 × 100) + (2 × 10) + (7 × 1)

- Place Value Chart: Columns of Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Ones

- Decimal Representation: 52.63

- Fraction Form: 0.75 = ¾

- Number Line: Visual representation


Addition
- Combining quantities to find the total.

- Concepts: Combining, Increasing, Counting On, Part-Whole, Repeated Addition, Number


Line, Balance

- Examples: 3 + 2 = 5, 2 + 2 + 2 = 6

Subtraction
- Finding the difference between two numbers.

- Concepts: Taking Away, Finding the Difference, Comparing, Counting Backwards, Missing
Parts, Reverse Addition

- Examples: 9 - 4 = 5, 12 - 8 = 4

Multiplication
- Combining equal groups to find the total.

- Concepts: Repeated Addition, Arrays, Scaling, Cartesian Product, Area Model, Number
Line, Doubling

- Examples: 4 × 3 = 12, 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

Division
- Splitting a number into equal parts.

- Concepts: Sharing, Grouping, Repeated Subtraction, Inverse of Multiplication, Partition,


Number Line, Fraction

- Examples: 12 ÷ 4 = 3, 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Properties of Operations
- Commutative Property: Order doesn’t matter (3 + 5 = 5 + 3)

- Associative Property: Grouping doesn’t matter ((2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4))

- Distributive Property: a(b + c) = ab + ac

- Identity Property: Adding 0 or multiplying by 1 gives the same number

- Zero Property: Any number × 0 = 0

- Inverse Property: Number + its opposite = 0; Number × reciprocal = 1

- Closure Property: Result remains within the number set


Math Concepts Vocabulary
- Expression: Combination of numbers, variables, and operators

- Equation: Statement showing equality between two expressions

- Term: Single number or variable

- Coefficient: Number multiplying a variable

- Constant: Number with no variable

- Variable: Symbol representing an unknown value

- Inequality: Comparison using <, >, ≤, or ≥

- Exponent: Repeated multiplication of a number

Fractions
- Definition: Part of a whole represented as a/b

- Vocabulary: Numerator, Denominator, Proper Fraction, Improper Fraction, Mixed Number,


Equivalent Fractions, Simplest Form, Unit Fraction

Ratio vs. Fraction vs. Rate


- Ratio: Comparison of two quantities with the same unit (3:2)

- Fraction: Part of a whole (3/8)

- Rate: Comparison of two quantities with different units (60 mph)

Types of Fraction Addition and Subtraction


- 1. Equal Denominators: Add or subtract numerators (3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8)

- 2. Different Denominators (One Is Factor of the Other): Convert to the larger denominator
(1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4)

- 3. Different Denominators With a Common Factor: Find LCD using factors (1/4 + 1/6 =
5/12)

- 4. Co-Prime or Prime Denominators: Multiply denominators to find LCD (1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6)
