 * Money **
 * You can use money in many ways! For example, you can use the money when you go to the mall or a video game store! To pay you can use $5 bills, $10 bills, $20 bills, $50 bills, $100 bills. But if you buy a video game that costs $34.99 you can round that number to $40.00 .You want to estimate the number to $40.00 because you don’t want to use cents to pay you video game! Unless you want to use you pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to pay. Rounding is really useful when you go shopping or when you have to pay something.[[image:money13.jpg width="196" height="129"]] **
 * Multiplication **
 * Multiplication can be really helpful when you go to the mall! When you want to buy something like a chap stick you would want to buy more than one. Well, imagine each Chap Stick costs $ 2. You buy 6 chap sticks, how much money do you pay? How can you solve this word problem? The first thing you have to do when you are multiplying is, see what number are you multiplying which is 6. Then you need to see what number you are multiplying it by which is 2.Finally you multiply 6 x 2 =? How can you can your answer? Well you have to multiply 6 by 2 so, it can be the same as adding 6 , 2 times :6 + 6 =12 . So you have to pay $ 12 if you buy 6 chap sticks and each one costs $2.[[image:wmscaughtwriting/Multiplying.png width="140" height="140"]] **

Division
 * Adding and Subtracting **
 * Adding is when you put two numbers together and it will equal the answer. For example if you add two number: 7+7=14.Right now I just added two numbers together. Subtracting can be fun too! Subtracting is when you take away an amount from another number. For example, 15-5=10.I just took 5numbers from 15and it equal 10.See how easy is this! **
 * Fractions **
 * Have you ever wonder what fraction of a pizza you are eating? Fractions are an amount of something or a portion. The numerator represents the portion of something and the denominator represents the total amount of something. For example you order a medium pizza which has 10 pieces and you eat 3 of them. What fraction of a pizza did you ate? Well you ate 3/10 of it .Since you ate three pizzas you have 7/10 of the pizza left! You see how easy fractions are! **
 * Have you ever wonder how to divide number? Well this is the right book to learn division. The first step to learn how to divide numbers and know where to place them. For example, if you are dividing 5 by 965 you have to put it like this because 5 /965 =? You put the number 5 in the left because it's the number you are dividing everything into. You put the number 965 in the right because it's the number that's being divided. Next step, you have to ask yourself how many times can 5 fit into 9 . 5 fits into 9 1 time so you have to bring the number up, then you have to subtract 5 from 9 and it equals 4. After, you have to bring 4 and the next number:6 down = 46.You have to repeat the steps all over again since 2nd step and ask yourself how many times can 5 fit into 46,the answer is 45 because (5x9=45).You bring up the 9 and subtract 46 from 45 and the answer is 15, if you bring the next number 5 down. Finally do step 2, all over again and ask yourself how many times can 5 fit into 15 .The answer is 3 because if you multiply 5x3=15 , so bring number 3 up and bring down a 0 which means that you are done .[[image:dividing.jpg width="82" height="115"]] **
 * Decimals **
 * Have you ever wonder where to place your decimals when you are using money? Well the first step is knowing your place value. Before the decimal you should have these place values: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and etc. After the decimal you should have these place values: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and etc. Next step, knowing what do they equal in money form. The tenths place equal a dime because one tenth has 10 hundredths. The hundredths place equals a penny because a hundredth has 10 thousandths. Imagine you have you have eight dollars and fifth teen cents. The word AND means the decimal point so the number or money would look like this: $ 8.15. As you can see there’s 8 ones before the decimal and there’s 1 tenth and 5 hundredths after the decimal ! **
 * Angles & Shapes **
 * Shapes can have many kinds of angles. They can have right angles ,acute angles, and obtuse angles. For example, a square has right angles because all it angles equal to 90 degrees. You know it’s a right angle because it has a small square. Acute angles are angles that are less than 90 degrees so they are small. Obtuse angles are angles that are more than 90 degrees. A circle doesn’t have any angles because it has no lines . Shapes like a square, rhombus, triangle ,rectangle , trapezoid , hexagon, and octagon all have lines because they are not circular. **
 * Lines **
 * There’s many kinds of lines. A ray is a line that has one endpoint and goes forever in one direction. A line goes forever in both directions and never stops. A point is something that makes and end to another thing. A line segment is a line that has to endpoints and it stops in 2 directions. A plane is a flat surface on which a straight line joining any two points on it ! **
 * Time **
 * Have you ever wondered how does time work? Well this is the right book to read about. Imagine you go to the movies for at 4:50 and you come back to your house at 6:30. How much time did you spend at the movies? Start by subtracting the hours so it can be easy! So if you subtract 4 from 6 it equals 2: 6-4=2. Then you have to subtract the minutes: 50-30=20! So you spend 2 hours and 20 minutes at the movies. It’s the same when you add time. For example, imagine you spend 2 hours at the movies and 3 hours at stores .How many hours did you spend at the mall? Well it’s so easy just add 2 and 3, the answer is 5! 2+3=5! Isn’t that easy? **
