Question
Answer
distributive property   Example: 5*(3+4)=5*3+5*4  
🗑
identity property of addition   states that the sum of zero and any number is that same number 5+0=5  
🗑
commutative property of addition or multiplication   states that if the order of the addends or factors is changed, the sum or product remains the same 6*7=7*6  
🗑
zero property of multiplication   states that the product of any number and zero is zero 2*0=0  
🗑
associative property of addition and multiplication   states that changing the grouping of the addends or factors does not change the sum or the product  
🗑
identity property of muliplication   states that the product of a number and one is that same number 9*1=9  
🗑
evaluate   to find the answer or value of an expression  
🗑
exponent   the number that tells how many times a factor(base) is to be multiplied together  
🗑
variable   a letter or symbol that stands for an unknown number x + 3 = 18 x=15  
🗑
clustering   a method of estimation used when all the addends are about the same 52+49+51 about 50*3  
🗑
numerical expression   a phrase used in math that contains only numbers and operation symbols 5*7+4  
🗑
compatible numbers   pairs or groups of numbers that are easy to compute in your head 4*25*8  
🗑
estimate   an approximate answer after rounding two or more numbers 27 + 57 is about 30+60=90

🗑
decimal   another way of writing a fraction which is part of a whole  
🗑
composite number   a whole number greater than 1 that has more than two factors  
🗑
prime number   a whole number greater that 1 that has only two factors,1 and itself  
🗑
greatest common factor   the greatest divisor that two or more numbers have in common  
🗑
least common multiple   the smallest multiple that two or more number have in common  
🗑
prime factorization   a number divided into the product of all its prime factors 24=2*2*2*3  
🗑
base   the number that is with an exponent which is used as the repeated factor 5*5*5=5^3  
🗑
compensation   used in estimating when you change one number to a multiple of ten and adjust the other number to keep the balance 27+18= 30 +15=45(added 3 to 27 and subtracted 3 from 18)
