[Patterns, Functions, and Algebra Goal ] Solve problems involving parentheses and nested parentheses. Insert parentheses in order to make true number sentences. Key Activities Students use parentheses in number sentences involving more than one operation. They translate number stories into number sentences, inserting parentheses in the proper places, and determine whether number sentences containing parentheses are true or false. 1 4 3 Playing Name That Number Student Reference Book, p. 35 per partnership: 1 complete deck of number cards (from the Everything Math Deck, if available) Students apply number properties, equivalent names, arithmetic operations, and basic facts.

Story Tom had 4 six-packs of bottles of juice. 4 + (3 6) He went shopping and bought 3 more six-packs of bottles of juice. Algebraic Thinking Discuss students answers. Ask: What do parentheses mean in number sentences? Operations inside parentheses are done first. Write the statements from Problem 1 on the board with their correct expressions, but without parentheses. Guide students to see that without the mathematical punctuation of parentheses, number expressions can take on different values depending on the order in which the operations are performed. Without parentheses, the expression is said to be ambiguous because it has more than one possible meaning. NOTE An expression is a group of mathematical symbols (numbers, operation signs, variables, grouping symbols) that represents a number or can represent a number if values are assigned to any variables it contains. A number sentence is made up of at least two numbers or expressions separated by a relation symbol such as =, >, or <. Example: The number sentence 6 4 - / = n includes the expression 6 4 - /, the variable n, and the equal symbol =. Ask volunteers to share their answers to Problem and explain the steps they used to solve the problem. As the students explain the steps, list them on the board. For example: Steps Numerical Expression Multiply 6 times 4. 6 4 Subtract from the result. (6 4) - Divide that result by.

Point out that when two or more sets of parentheses are used in the same expression, the operation inside the inner parentheses is done first. In ((6 4) - ) /, 6 times 4 is the operation in the inner parentheses. The operation in the outer parentheses is done next, followed by all the remaining operations. Parentheses inside parentheses are referred to as nested parentheses. Date Parentheses and Number Stories continued 4. Story 1 Number of Cookies Alice Ate Alice ate 3 cookies before going to a 3 (45 / 5) party. At the party, Alice and 4 friends ate equal shares of 45 cookies. Story There was a full bag with 45 cookies (45 3) / 5 and an opened bag with 3 cookies. Alice and 4 friends ate equal shares of all these cookies. 5. Story 1 Number of Cookies Baked Links to the Future This lesson stresses the use of parentheses to create unambiguous expressions. Lesson 7-5 will introduce the conventional order of operations, which often reduces or eliminates the need for grouping symbols in many number sentences. Matching Number Stories to Appropriate Expressions (Math Journal, pp. 19 and 0) PROBLEM SOLVING Mr. Chung baked 5 batches of cookies. 15 (4 5) Each of the first 4 batches contained 15 cookies. The final batch contained only 5 cookies. Story In the morning, Mr. Chung baked (4 15) 5 4 batches of 15 cookies each. In the afternoon, he baked 5 more batches of 15 cookies each. 6. A grocery store received a shipment of 10 cases of apple juice. Each case contained 4 six-packs of cans. After inspection, the store found that 9 cans were damaged. Write an expression that represents the number of undamaged cans. Sample answer: (10 (4 6)) 9 Ask students to read the two number stories in Problem 3 on journal page 19 and match each story with an expression. Ask volunteers to explain their choices. Story 1 goes with the second expression since 3 must be multiplied by 6 to find the total number of cans in 3 six-packs. Story goes with the first expression since 4 + 3 stands for the total number of six-packs. Assign journal page 0. When most students are done, bring the class together and go over the answers. Have students explain their reasons for matching a given number story with a particular expression. Math Journal, p. 0 Ongoing Assessment: Exit Slip Recognizing Student Achievement Use an Exit Slip (Math Masters, page 414) to assess students facility with writing expressions containing parentheses to represent a number story. Have students explain how they used parentheses in Problem 6 on journal page 0 to write the expression for the total number of undamaged cans. Students are making adequate progress if they refer to the use of nested parentheses to identify the total number of undamaged cans.

Directions 1. Shuffle the deck and deal 5 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards number-side down on the table between the players. Turn over the top card and place it beside the deck. This is the target number for the round.. Players try to match the target number by adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing the numbers on as many of their cards as possible. A card may only be used once. 3. Players write their solutions on a sheet of paper. When players have written their best solutions: Each player sets aside the cards they used to match the target number. Each player replaces the cards they set aside by drawing new cards from the top of the deck. The old target number is placed on the bottom of the deck. A new target number is turned over, and another round is played. 4. Play continues until there are not enough cards left to replace all of the players cards. The player who has set aside the most cards wins the game. Target number: 16 Player 1 s cards: 7 Some possible solutions: 10 16 (3 cards used) 7 * 10 16 (4 cards used) / 10 7 5 16 (all 5 cards used) 7 5 5 The player sets aside the cards used to make a solution and draws the same number of cards from the top of the deck.

Read the following sentence. Mary Grace the lizard ate three crickets. This sentence could have multiple meanings. 1. The speaker is telling someone named Mary Grace that the lizard ate three crickets.. The lizard, named Mary Grace, ate three crickets. 3. The speaker is telling someone named Mary that the lizard, named Grace, ate three crickets. Without commas, it s hard to tell which meaning was intended. Write the number of the meaning next to each sentence below. 1 3 a. Mary Grace, the lizard, ate three crickets. b. Mary Grace, the lizard ate three crickets. c. Mary, Grace the lizard, ate three crickets. By adding commas, the meaning of a sentence becomes clear. In number sentences, parentheses are used to indicate what to calculate first..
