Making Tens

Being able to quickly count to the next ten is super important for adding and subtracting. And it is fun.Once a student can immediate subitize number upto ten on the abacus, you are ready to make ten. Steps:– Have the child put the first number on the abacus– The number remaining on the right is… Continue reading Making Tens

Lesson 75 – Combinations

Saxon Advanced Math Permutation – has differed ordered set. Therefore order matter Lesson 38 – Permutation Introduction; Lesson 41.B – Permutation NotationLesson 45 – Conditional PermutationsLesson 55 – Circular and Distinguishable Permutations Combination – order is not considered. Need to divide by the ways the items could be ordered.

Lesson 112 – Binomial Theorem

Saxon Advanced Math Pascall’s Triangle for finding coefficients of the terms when expanding.The Binomial Theorem to find the coefficients of the expression without drawing out Pascall’s triangle. This is good for higher powers. Watch this video if you need a reminder of using Pascall’s Triangle to find coefficients of binomial expansion. At 18:45 he shows… Continue reading Lesson 112 – Binomial Theorem
