Personal vs. Informational writing

10/25/2018

Today we made some steady progress on our Alphabiography writing project. Mrs. Chohan and I did a mini lesson on the differences between personal and informational writing. We looked at several student samples and, with the help of the class, classified them according to the characteristic of each type of writing. Remember that we are practicing personal writing in this project. If you have already written some information pieces please do not erase them. You can either work on changing them into personal pieces or just leave them for now and make sure your next piece is a personal one. After recess we had the global read aloud and a VERY exciting math lesson! I was so excited about math I could hardly contain my enthusiasm! Some of us were a little stumped when I said 3 x 4=6 and I can see why. I was so excited I forgot my math facts for a second:) Let's not forget those fact families, as they are so important. A fact family can be made with any multiplication or division sentence. In the afternoon we finished the second to last section of the FSA. Hang in there Division 1. We are almost done.

1) Homework and Reminders:

Bring your AGENDA tomorrow. We are going to practice using it! I will teach you an agenda strategy!
Math fact family question : 73.6 x 100 =
Lets try to get the collages finished up by tomorrow. If more time is really needed please see me tomorrow
Word Work Test Unit 7 tomorrow.

2) Post A Response:

In an informational (not personal) paragraph explain what a fact family is and the explain how to make a fact family from a multiplication sentence. Use an example to help you. In your paragraph you must include the following math language (factor, product, quotient, dividend, devisor)
Give another student feedback on their paragraph
Edit/revise your post if needed

A fact family is a group of numbers put into different equations. The way that we are learning it is were doing division and multiplication.
Let me show you an example.
10x2=20
In the multiplication part there are two equations.
All you have to do is change the FACTOR.
2x10=20
In the division part you use the PRODUCT and multiply it by the FACTOR. The remember to right the PRODUCT as the DIVIDEND.
20/2=10
After you do that you switch the DIVISOR to the other FACTOR.
20/10=2
YAY
Make sure that the QUOTIENT is the other FACTOR.

Nathan you explained everything very well and kept everything simple also next time i would recommend you right a little bit more on the fact family.

10/25/2018 05:05:48 pm

What about the fact family?

10/25/2018 05:00:34 pm

A fact family is a group of math facts using the same numbers. In the case of addition/subtraction, you use three numbers and get four facts. For example, you can form a fact family using the three numbers 10, 2, and 12: 10 + 2 = 12, 2 + 10 = 12, 12 − 10 = 2, and 12 − 2 = 10.

You shouldn't copy and paste. Make sure to include the words as well.
I believe in you Nick you can do it!

10/25/2018 05:05:29 pm

i never copy and pasted i looked how they wrote it

10/25/2018 05:06:10 pm

even tho it kinda looks like i did

10/25/2018 05:06:51 pm

You kinda did but, okay.

Do you know what a fact family is? You probably do, but hey just doing my homework. A fact family is bacicly taking one equation like this 5•4 is 20 of course but in a fact family you turn an equation into 4, I sent that cool? Let’s use the same example.
5•4 is 20
4•5 is 20
20\4 is 5
20\5 is 4
You can also do plus and minus

10/25/2018 05:12:18 pm

Tia pls check spelling mistakes before posting.

10/25/2018 05:13:23 pm

im so sorry i meant Taya

10/25/2018 05:11:16 pm

a fact family consists of four related number facts.
there are three identical numbers in each of the four facts.
in + and -, there are two facts each for addition and subtraction.
in x and ÷, there are two facts each for multiplication and division.

10/25/2018 05:28:17 pm

Great Job Nick! You just missed some words and you need to give a example.

Mr. Hong

10/25/2018 08:55:12 pm

@ Nick - Please ask your parents to reply to the email I sent them.

A fact family is how many different ways you can show a equation or putting equations in different ways.

290 x 100 = 290,000
100 x 290 = 290,000
290,000 / 290 = 100
290,000 / 100 = 290

A fact family can also mean how many different ways you can arrange an equation but still have to same meaning.

10/25/2018 05:24:48 pm

A fact family is a series of equation that all relate to each other. For example 3 x 4= 12 | 4 x 3= 12 |12/3 =4 | 12/4= 3. Each fact family must consist of Factor(x) x Factor(y) = Product(z), Factor(y) x Factor(x) = Product(z), Dividend(z)/Divisor(y)=Quotient(x) and Dividend(z)/Divisor(x)=Quotient(y). X,Y and Z are variables for numbers. E.G. X=3 Y=4 Z=12

Ester

10/25/2018 05:34:20 pm

The fact family is basically certain nuberd put into diffrent equations resulting in the same product.
Example:
6x2=12
2x6=12
See I just switched the number to make different equations. Now we have to the same thing with division. The result will be different, but that product cab be used to make an equation resulting in 12.
Example:
12/2=6
12/6=2

Krizia

10/25/2018 08:50:07 pm

Ester nice job! You have a few spelling mistakes and try to include the required math language in your paragraph.

10/25/2018 05:40:01 pm

A fact family is numbers put into different equations, you can do it with addition and subtraction of multiplication and division.
EXAMPLE
14x2=28
2x14=28
28/2=14
28/14=2

10/25/2018 06:13:27 pm

A fact family is a FACTOR of math that use the same PRODUCT and it can be a QUOTIENT of addition/subtraction if you use the DIVISOR of three numbers and get the fourth fact as a DIVIDEND.

12 * 15 = 180
15 * 12 = 180
180/15 = 12
180/12 = 15

Owen

10/25/2018 06:38:33 pm

A group of numbers that put's into different equations, that's a fact family.
Example
: 100*20= 2000
20*100=2000
2000/100=20
2000/20=100

10/25/2018 06:39:11 pm

Do i have to make it longer?
i am bad at explaining stuffs

10/25/2018 06:41:16 pm

You have to add the words above like divisor, factor, etc.

10/25/2018 06:41:36 pm

Vivian

10/25/2018 06:42:33 pm

A fact family is switching numbers from their places but still get the same answer. Like Mr.Fisher said, “It’s ok as long as we all get the granville Island” arranging the numbers around won’t make a difference in the result, it will just make a FAMILY!!!!!!

Example
3.15x100=315
100x3.15=315
315÷100=3.15
315÷3.15=100

jedd

10/25/2018 06:49:58 pm

um I think that only works for the mutiplication statment but not for the division one's.

Sophie

10/25/2018 08:34:52 pm

Good job Vivian, but you didn't use any of the math language on your PAR.

10/25/2018 06:47:00 pm

a fact family is a mix of 2 division question and 2 multiplication questions and relate to each other by using the same numbers or getting the same numbers.
example:
10x20=200
20x10=200
200/10=20
200/20=10

10/25/2018 06:58:35 pm

A fact family is a group of numbers that if multiplied or divided by each other, the result is likely to be a number from the fact family.
Example
120x100
120 x 100 = 12000
100 x 120 x 12000
12000 ➗ 120 = 100
12000 ➗ 100 = 120

10/25/2018 07:02:12 pm

OMG I forgot the words we were supposed to use I'll do another paragraph right away

10/25/2018 07:07:55 pm

A fact family is a group of numbers that if multiplied or divided by each other, the result is likely to be a number from the same fact family.
A fact family has: factors, quotient, dividend ,divisor and the product which is the result of the multiplications that have been made.
Example
120x100
120 x 100 = 12000
100 x 120 x 12000
12000 ➗ 120 = 100
12000 ➗ 100 = 120

Ivan

10/25/2018 07:03:12 pm

a fact family is basically 3 numbers that can be put in 4 separate equations like 3x2
3x2=6 to make this another equation you can just switch the factors which will make
2x3=6 the answers are the same but it is just written out differently. when you are dividing you will need to use the product and the factor. you will need to divide them together so,
6/2=3 now you do the same, you divide the product with the factor (dividend) so,
6/3=2 the answer of what you just divided is called a quotient so in this case the 2 is the dividend and the 6 would be the divisor because it is being divided by

hopefully this makes sense im not the best at explaining math

10/25/2018 07:36:20 pm

A fact family is a group of numbers that should be in four different equations. We are learning fact families with multiplication and division.
Example:
4x5=20.
5x4=20.
20/4=5.
40/5=4.

That is a fact family. There are three numbers, two division equations and two multiplication equations.

10/25/2018 07:46:19 pm

I read the PAR wrong, so here's the correct (hopefully) one.

A fact family is a group of numbers that should be in four different equations. Right now we're doing multiplication and division.
Example:
4x5=20-] These two numbers (4 and 5) are the factors. Just flip 4 and 5 around for the other equation.
5x4=20-] 20 is the product, so once you've done doing all the multiplication possible, move onto division.
20/4=5-] 20 is the dividend, and 4 is the divisor. The quotient is 5.
20/5=4-] Here, the dividend is still 20, but the divisor is now 5. The quotient is 4.

That's a fact family. There are 3 numbers in total, and 4 equations. Two division and two multiplication.

10/25/2018 07:54:16 pm

Definition of fact family is - the relationship between sets of related facts. Before we get in to fact families, I should review the multiplication and division terms.

Multiplication Terms
Ex. 3×4=12
Factor × Factor = Product

Divisor Terms
Ex. 12÷4=3
Dividend÷Divisor= Quotient

To show how to make a fact family, I will use the lovely example 3×6=18. First step to finding the fact family is to switch the two factors around. 3×6=18, 6×3=18
You might ask why this method works, it is because of something called "commutative property". Since, multiplication has a property called "commutative property" that is why we can swap the factors and it will not affect the product. If you can think of another operation that also has this property, than good for you! The other operation is addition. You can switch the two numbers up but the answer stays the same. ex. 2+3=5 3+2=5
To get the third and fourth facts, you will need to take the quotient of the first two facts and use it to start your next two facts. So I will take the 18 and put it in front of the division sign. After you made 12 the divisor, simply add the other two numbers from before in any order.
ex. 18÷3=6
Then lastly, you just need to switch the divisor with the quotient.
18÷6=3
If you write them all out together, you will have your nice fact family.

P.S. I used a computer and I learned that if I hold the Alt button and type 0215 in the number pad near my right hand, then I would get the multiplication symbol ×. If you want the division sign, simply hold the Alt button and type 0247 on the number pad and you will get this ÷.

10/25/2018 07:54:25 pm

A fact family is a group of three numbers that can be put into 4 equations. Each equation contains two starting numbers being multiplied or divided, the quotient or product of these equations contains the third number, which is also in the fact family.

Examples:
2*6 = 12
6*2 = 12
12/2 = 6
12/6 = 2

Hopefully this all makes sense, I haven't thought about fact families for too long :P

10/25/2018 07:56:12 pm

Joseph, can you have a fact family with two equations only?
3×3=9, 9÷3=3

10/25/2018 08:01:41 pm

As expected, I did something wrong. Hooray.

Edited version:

A fact family is a group of three numbers that can be put into four equations, that contain only the three numbers acting as either factors, products, quotients, dividends or divisors.
Let us take numbers a, b, and c. Let a>b>c, and let a,b, and c all be positive natural numbers.

The fact family for a,b, and c are as follows.
a=c*b (using b,c as factors to get a, the product)
a=b*c (using c,b as factors to get c, just reversing it giving the same result or product a)
a/b = c (a is the dividend, b is the divisor, and c is the quotient.)
a/c = b (a is the dividend, c is the divisor, and b is the quotient.)

Basically, if you order three numbers a,b,c least to greatest, your fact family will consist of the smallest number multiplied by the 2nd largest number giving the product of the largest number, the 2nd largest number multiplied by the smallest number giving the product of the largest number, the largest number divided by the 2nd largest number giving the smallest number, and finally the largest number divided by the smallest number giving the second largest number.

I hope that my revised version is not too weird to understand, hopefully.

-Joseph

10/25/2018 08:03:49 pm

Ohno, Annabelle is correct. aAaAaA sadly I did not manage to see her post as I was revising my revised version! D:

(after searching on google, don't blame me, I forgot what a fact family was)
I have now come to understand that a fact family is a group of math facts using the same numbers!

Matthew

10/25/2018 08:34:29 pm

A fact family is a group of numbers that if you flip around, the number would just be on of the same numbers. If you flip the quotient and times it by the dividend the you'll get the divisor.
Example
5 x 2 = 10
2 x 5 = 10
10/5 = 2
10/2=5
They're a family!

Jafeth

10/25/2018 08:42:53 pm

A fact family is a group of numbers that if multiplied or divided by each other

Example

5 x 3 =15
3 x 5 =15
15 /5 =3
15 / 3=5

10/25/2018 08:45:09 pm

A fact family is a group of numbers that can be put into equations. Here’s an example:

8*3=24
3*8=24
24/8=3
24/3=8

First we can take our two factors, 8 and 3, and multiply them. We can just switch the two factors around for our next one because either way it will be the same product. Then we can take the product and divide it by the factor. (24/8) The number 24 would be the dividend and the number 8 would be the divisor. The answer to that equation is called the quotient. (24/8=3) Now all we need to do is do the same thing but swap our divisor and quotient. Which is (24/3=8).

10/25/2018 08:46:53 pm

oops I forgot (factor, product, quotient, dividend, divisor)

10/25/2018 08:51:49 pm

A fact family is a group of numbers that if multiplied or divided by each other then you flip the quotient around and times it by the dividend the you'll get the divisor.

Example

5 x 3 =15
3 x 5 =15
15 /5 =3
15 / 3=5

Factor Families

Example:
7x3=21
3x7=21
21/3= 7
21/7=3

A factor family is a group of math facts rearranged to make similar questions relating to the first factor. You multiply the numbers to find the product. Then you take the product and use the divisor it to find the quotient. Then you will have the divided. Thats how you do factor family. You can look above to see an example of a factor family.

Kheyria

10/25/2018 09:09:32 pm

When creating fact families, you must be clear on which number is the divisor, dividend, quotient, factor, and product.
After you have figured out which number is which, you begin putting them into fact families, which can either be done by multiplying and dividing your numbers or adding and subtracting your numbers. We are multiplying and dividing our numbers though. An example for a fact family using multiplication and division is this: 7×8=56. This is the beginning of our fact families. Now we are just going to switch around the factors of 56 to make another fact in our family, which is 8×7=56. Now we that have finished half of our fact family, let's start with the division part of it. We just start with the dividend which is 56. We then divide it by 7, like so: 56÷7=8. Again, we switch around the divisor so that it says
56÷8=7. Now we have finally completed our family of facts, who then lived happily ever after!

THE END

Factor Families.

A fact family is a group of numbers that if multiplied or divided then flipping around the product(quotient)then multiplying(or dividing) the factor(dividend)and then you’ll get your factor(divisor).

Example: 6x8=48
8x6=48
48/6=8
48/8=6

10/25/2018 10:25:24 pm

your wording is too confusing. Try shorting your words with variables.

Jessica

10/25/2018 09:53:36 pm

73.6 x 100 = 7360
100 x 73.6 = 7360
7360 / 73.6 = 100
7360 / 100 = 73.6

A fact family is a group of 3 numbers that can be put into 4 equations, but still representing the same thing.
Here is an example:
2*3=6
2*3=6 is the same as saying 3*2=6 (Commutative property)
To obtain the division part of the fact family, you take the product of the multiplication portion and use it as the dividend.
6/2=3 same as saying 6/3=2 (Commutative property)

(i hope this made sense.)

Len

10/25/2018 10:08:39 pm

It was easy to understand it but you're supposed to have the words (factor, product, quotient, dividend, divisor)

Nicole

10/25/2018 09:55:28 pm

When creating a fact family, you must be clear on which numbers you are using. Then, you must decide which type of fact family you want to make. We are multiplying and dividing our numbers though. An example is 2 x 100=200 and once you have the sum, switch the factor around so that it’s 100 x 2 =200. We’ve already done half, and the next part is division. So, for the division part of this you take the sum and divide it by the numbers you multiplied. For example, my division statement would be 200 /2 = 100 and all you have to do is switch the factors around. And the division stamen would be 200/ 100 = 2, and now we’ve completed our fact families.

owen

10/25/2018 10:09:21 pm

Mr Fisher， i think i lost my agenda so dont give mr homework alert lol

10/25/2018 10:26:35 pm

A fact family is a group of math facts using the same numbers. For example 2*5=10, 5*2=10 the factors are just switched around and you still get the same product. As for division it would be 10/5=2, 10/2=5. The dividend is not switched around but the divisor is switch around and you get the same quotient.

Hope that made sense.

David

10/25/2018 10:29:09 pm

A fact family is group of 3 numbers that can be expressed in four different equations. Plus and Minus. Multiplication and Subtraction. The first two numbers always makes the third number.

Example:
2 times 3= 6
3 times 2= 6
6 divided by 3=2
6 divided by 2=3

However, there is an exception.
A square number only has two equations.
3 times 3 equals 9
9 divided by three equals three.

Tom

10/26/2018 07:57:49 am

A fact family is can be made from any number getting multipled up or divided. And the using the number to multiple together and then switching it. For example: 4x9=36 9x4=36 36/4=9 36/9=4
