Question | Answer |
---|---|
angle | a geometric figure formed by two rays called sides having a common endpoint called the vertex |
associative property of addition | changing the groupings of three or more addends does not change the sum |
chord | a line segment whose endpoints lie on a circle a diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the circle |
Associative Property of Multiplication | Changing the groupings of three or more factors does not change the product. |
circumference | the distance around a circle |
coordinate plane | a grid formed by two axes that intersect at the origin The axes divide the coordinate plane into four quadrants. origin--intersection of the horizontal and vertical axes in the coordinate plane described by the ordered pair (0, 0) |
denominator | the number of same-size parts in a whole or set |
diameter | a chord that passes through the center of a circle |
elapsed time | the amount of time that passes between two points in time |
equally likely | two events with the same probability of occurrence |
expression | an mathematical phrase that represents a quantity; may contain variables, numbers, and/or operations |
coordinate plane | a grid formed by two axes that intersect at the origin The axes divide the coordinate plane into four quadrants. origin--intersection of the horizontal and vertical axes in the coordinate plane described by the ordered pair (0, 0) |
denominator | the number of same-size parts in a whole or set |
factor | a number that is multiplied by another number to find a product |
frequency | the number of times an outcome occurs |
line plot | A line plot shows the spread of data and each piece of data is represented by an x |
greatest common factor | the largest number that divides evenly into two or more numbers |
intersecting lines | lines that meet or cross in exactly one point |
kite | a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent sides congruent but not four congruent sides |
least common denominator | least common multiple of two or more denominators |
least common multiple | the smallest multiple that each of two or more numbers share |
least common multiple | the smallest multiple that each of two or more numbers share |
likelihood (of an event) | the chance or probability that an event occurs |
line graph | a graph using line segments to connect the graphed data points |
mean | a measure of central tendency; the arithmetic average; a mathematical representation of the typical value of a series of numbers, computed as the sum of all the numbers in the series divided by the count of all numbers in the series. |
median | a measure of central tendency; in a set of ordered data, the middle valueIf the data are shown with a histogram the "mode" is simply the value which corresponds to the highest point(s) on the curve. |
least common multiple | the smallest multiple that each of two or more numbers share |
likelihood (of an event) | the chance or probability that an event occurs |
metric measurement system | a system of measurement based on multiples of 10; basic units are meter (length), gram (mass), and liter (volume or capacity) |
mode | a measure of central tendency; the value(s) that occurs most often |
numerator | a representation of the number of same-size parts being considered in terms of the |
ordered pair | Identifies a location in a coordinate plane |
parallel lines | coplanar lines that do not intersect |
parallelogram | a quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides parallel |
perpendicular lines | lines that intersect to form right angles |
place value | the value a digit represents depending on its place in the number(tenth, hundredth, thousandth) |
plane | described as a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions; has two dimensions |
polygon | a two-dimensional, simple, closed geometric figure that has line segments as sides |
quadrant | one of four portions into which a plane is divided by the horizontal and vertical axes |
radius | a line segment from the center of a circle to any point on the circle |
range (of a set of data) | a measure of variation; the difference between the greatest and least values in a data set |
rational number | any number that can be written as a ratio (fraction, decimal) |
rhombus | a parallelogram with all sides congruent |
trapezoid | a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides |
tree diagram | a organized list of all possible outcomes for an event |
triangle | a polygon with three sidesTriangles can be classified by their angle types. An acute triangle has 3 acute angles. A right triangle has exactly one right angle. An obtuse triangle has exactly one obtuse angle. |
U. S. Customary measurement system | the system of measurement commonly used in the United States; common units are inches, feet, yards, and miles-length; ounces, pounds, and tons-weight; ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons-capacity |
variable | a symbol that represents an unknown quantity |
