* Equivalent forms of FDP exist * Between every two whole numbers there exists an infinite # of fractions * Different forms (FDP) are more appropriate in particular situations * Multiplying two fractions less than 1 results in a smaller number * Dividing two fractions less than 1 results in a larger number * Dividing two fractions yields the same quotient as multiplying by the reciprocal |
* ASMD fractions with unlike denominators * Find prime factorization of a number * Determine LCM, GCF, and/or LCD of 2 numbers * Identify the reciprocal of a given number * Justify reasonableness of an answer using estimation |
