We can explain the relationship between
mathematical ideas by comparing them.

How are these math ideas the same?

  1.         3 x 4

             3 + 3 + 3 + 3 

 
  Both expressions represent 12

  Both expressions have a product of 12
 

  2.              and
 
    
 
  Both have angles less than 90 degrees

  Both are angles.
 

 3.           0.5 = ½            

              

 
 
Both are equal

  Both are fractions
 

 4.                           
                

  Both are mixed numbers

  Both have denominators of 2

 

5.              x <
 
                x > 4

  Both expressions represent x is less       than or equal to 4

  Both are inequalities.
 

 6.             5 x 2             

               10 x 1

 
 
Both have a product of 10

  Both have a factor of 1
 

7.          12 x (1/12) = 1

          5 x (1/5) = 1

  Both represent the additive inverse property

  Both represent the inverse property.
 

8.                r - 4 = 12

          15 - y = 10

  Both equations are equal.
