 6*6= 6 2=?  1*1= 1 2 =?  8*8=8 squared=?  2*2=2 squared=?  Lets take the problem 5 squared it is the same as 5 two times or 5*5. If it is 5 to the third power than you do 5 three times or 5*5*5. Each square number is made into a perfect square.

 36  1  2  64

 1/5 + 2/5 =?  2/7 + 1/10 =?  2/4 + 7/4 =?  7/ /7=?  In adding fractions you have to get common denominators. In the first problem there already is common denominators because there are two 5’s. Denominators are the numbers on the bottom. The second question is were the denominators are 7 and 10. The quick common denominator is when you multiply them to get 70. But if 7 goes into a lower number that 10 goes into also you would use that but not in this case.

 3/5  27/70  9/4 = 2 ¼  2 2/7

 6/7 * 1/5=  8/9 * 6/11=  ½ * ¾ =  6/6 * 7/1=  In multiplying fractions you do not have to find common denominators because all you have to do is numerator * numerator = numerator and denominator * denominator = denominator.

 6/35  48/99  3/8  42/6=7

 (9 + 3)*8 =?  1 + (2+7 squared)-1=?  8+9-(5-4)=?  1+1+(7-2)=? Parentheses are very easy to whats in the parentheses first. Please: Parentheses Excuse: Exponents My/Dear: Multiplication/Division Aunt/Sally: Addition/Subtraction

 96  51  16  7
