The content, lesson plans are written differently The main difference is the vocabulary In McLaughlin’s book he gives several

examples of the vocabulary changes

Some Examples

Addend - one of two or more numbers added together to find a sum: 2+3=5

Minuend – the number being subtracted: 5-3=2

Subtrahend – the number being subtracted: 5-3=2

Difference/Remainder = new number left after the subtraction: 5-3=2

Product – the answer when numbers are multiplied together: 2x5=10

Dividend – number that is divided by the divisor: 360\10=36

Divisor- the number that is divided into the dividend: 360\10=36

Quotient- the answer when numbers are divided: 360\10=36
