So 10 to the second power is 10 times 10 is equal to 100. Some of the parts of this, the two would be called the exponent and the 10 would be the base. That looks fancy, but all that means is let's take two 10s and multiply them together and we're going to get 100. Multiplying them together, I could write this as 10 to the second power. And so 10 times 10, we can rewrite as being equal to, if I have two 10s and I'm So the way they do this is through something known as exponents. To write things like this a little bit more elegantly. So mathematicians haveĬome up with a notation and some ideas to be able Kinda hard to write, and imagine if we have 30 10s that we were multiplying together. This right over here is 10 billion, and it's already getting We put the commas there so it's just a little bit easier to read. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. It's going to be oneįollowed by 10 zeroes. This is going to be equal to, even the number that it's equal to is going to be quite hard to write. Let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. That's four, that's five, that's six, that's seven, that's eight, that's nine, that is 10 10s. So if I were to go 10 times 10 times 10 times 10, But at some point, if I'mĭoing this with enough 10s, it gets pretty hard to write. Multiply them together, so 10 times 10, which Information for the Math Corner comes from Math to the Max, the Nelson and Math Makes Sense math programs, Jump Math, Kim Sutton, Trevor Calkins, Box Cars and One-Eyed Jacks, and Carole Saundry-Fullerton's blog.- In this video, I'm going to introduce you to a new type of mathematical notation that will seem fancy at first, but hopefully you'llĪppreciate is pretty useful and also pretty straightforward. If you would like to understand more about teaching your child strategies when adding and subtracting, as well as making math meaningful, please check out the Power of Ten web site. Names for 16: 3+13 (doubles), 4+12 (which is similar to counting on by 2s from 4)įinally you can always Think Addition to Subtractionįor example:13-5= _ If addition is easier for me than subtraction I can think, 5+?= 13 hmmm it is 8.

Names for 15: 2+13, 3+12 (really doubles plus 1) Names for 11: 3+8, four and seven are eleven ( it rhymes), seven and four are eleven, 8+3 Now there are only a few beyond 10, which need to be memorized: Then the 8 becomes 10 and the 6 drops down to 4, since 10+4=14.
In my head I think the 9 takes 1 from the 7, the 9 becomes 10 and the 7 drops down to a 6, since 10+6=16. 9 and 8 like to make themselves into a 10 so it takes 1 or 2 from the other number. In other words this can be called the "thieving 9 or 8". Adding 11 is a similar thing once children see the pattern 11+1=12ġ0. Now adding 10 to a number is easier when children see the pattern 10+7=17, 10 + 6=16ĩ.
Now there are only a few odd ones left to memorize:Ĩ.
#Power of ten trevor calkins how to
In my head I can think, I know my doubles and how to count by twos, so 6+6 is 12, minus 2 is 10, because 6-4=2 (6+6-2)ħ. In my head I can think, I know my doubles and how to count by twos, so 4+4 is 8, +2 more is 10, because 6 is two more than 4 (4+4+2) OR The answer is just 1 more or 1 less than the double, because 1 has been added to an addend or 1 has been subtracted.Ħ. *Children can recognize the doubles plus or minus 1 because the pair of numbers looks like they're just counting up or down one.
In my head I can think - I know 5+5 is 10, so 1 less must be 9, (5+5-1) In my head I can think - I know 4+4 is 8, + 1 more is 9, (4+4+1) OR
Realize that +1 is just like counting up one example 7+1=8ĥ. Recognize that all the plus 0's = the same number example 7+0=7Ĥ. If your child is having difficulty with the basic facts, please help reinforce these mental math strategies, so your child does not have to count on their figures or rely on a ruler.ġ. Trevor Caulkins, a math teacher in Victoria and a respected presenter, believes there is a smart order for learning the addition facts to 20 and beyond.
