FOA 2 Unit 1

Number Theory: real numbers system, exponents, scientific notation, properties

TermDefinition
Real Numbers all the numbers we use every day
Rational Numbers any number that can be written as a fraction (ratio); any decimal that terminates (ends) or repeats
Integers whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) and their opposites (-1, -2, -3, ...)
Whole Numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...
Natural Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...
Irrational Numbers decimals that are non-terminating and non-repeating; non-perfect squares, pi
How do I handle a negative exponent? flip the base over the fraction bar and change the exponent sign to positive
What is the base of an exponent? the large number written on the line; the number that gets multiplied by itself
What is the power of an exponent? the little number that is written next to the base; it means how many times the base is multiplied by itself
What is a radical sign? the symbol that means square root
Perfect Square the number you get when you square a whole number (ex. 10 squared = 100; 100 is a perfect square)
Scientific Notation the method of writing numbers in terms of a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10
Standard Notation our normal way of writing numbers
Commutative Property of Addition a + b = b + a; 3 + 4 = 4 + 3
Commutative Property of Multiplication a * b = b * a; 5 * 6 = 6 * 5
Associative Property of Addition a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c 1 + (2 + 3) = (1 + 2) + 3
Associative Property of Multiplication (a * b) * c = a * (b * c) (4 * 5) * 6 = 4 * (5 * 6)
Distributive Property a(b + c) = a*b + a*c 2(3 + 4) = 2*3 + 2*4
Additive Identity Property a + 0 = a; 9 + 0 = 9
Multiplicative Identity Property a * 1 = a; 9 * 1 = 9
Additive Inverse Property a + (-a) = 0; 4 + (-4) = 0
Multiplicative Inverse Property a * 1/a = 1; 3 * 1/3 = 1
Multiplication of Zero Property a * 0 = 0; 7 * 0 = 0

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
