Start hereWords for this lesson

Read each word before you begin. Say it out loud.

WordWhat it meansExample
professionSpanish: profesión A job someone is trained to do, like chef, nurse, or carpenter. A chef prices a menu; a nurse measures a dose; a carpenter cuts to length.
inventorySpanish: inventario The supply of items a business keeps on hand, tracked by counting. The kitchen counts 40 lb of flour and 12 dozen eggs on hand.
portionSpanish: porción The measured amount of food served to one person. Each bowl of soup uses 2 cups of broth — one person's serving.
areaSpanish: área The amount of flat space a surface covers, measured in square units. A 4 ft by 2 ft planter covers 8 square feet of ground.
volumeSpanish: volumen The amount of space something fills, measured in cubic units. 4 ft × 2 ft × 1 ft of soil = 8 cubic feet.
symmetricSpanish: simétrico Having two halves that match — one side is a mirror image of the other. A butterfly: the left wing is the mirror of the right.

How it worksWorked example

These numbers are not on your problems. The steps are. Follow them with your own numbers.

Lesson 10.1 — Math is Everywhere: People use math every day in their professions and their hobbies — and it is a good tool for solving problems around your house, too.

  1. Lesson 10.2 — Math is Beauty: Bilateral symmetry — two sides that are mirror images — appears throughout nature, and it shapes human creations from art to music to architecture.
  2. Lesson 10.3 — Math is Playful: We play with math by using our imagination and by looking for patterns or relationships that help us think logically — a pattern can tell us the answer to a puzzle we have not even played yet.

Now you trySame steps, your turn

The steps are the same as the worked example. The numbers are yours. Do the work.

From 10.1: A planter that is 4 feet long and 2 feet wide has an area of 4 × 2 = 8 square feet — that tells us how many plants fit.

Watch outA common mistake

Doubling the previous number of steps but forgetting to add 1 — answering 14 instead of 15 for four discs, or 30 instead of 31 for five.

    1. AThe butterfly has exactly two wings
    2. BThe butterfly's wings are very colorful
    3. CThe butterfly is larger than most insects

    (Lesson 10.1) A planter is 4 feet long and 2 feet wide. What is its area?

    1. A2 square feet
    2. B6 square feet
    3. C8 square feet
    4. D12 square feet

    Hint Area tells how much flat space the planter covers.
