Math
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Power | A number that represents repeated multiplication Example: 10^5 or 10 to the power of 5 |
| Base | The number that is used as a factor. Example: 1 |
| Exponent | Tells how many times the factor is used. Example: 2^6 |
| Expression | Consists of a combination of numbers and an operation. Example: 2^2 + 2 |
| Term | A part of an expression that is separated by a plus or a minus sign. Example: 1 + 2 |
| Super Scripted Numbers | A exponent Example: ^5 |
| Factor | Numbers you can multiply to get another number. |
| Order Of Operations | The rules on how to solve an expression. Example: PEMDAS |
| Numerical Expression | A mathematical phrase that has only numbers and one or more only operation symbols. Example: 4+3=7 |
| Algebra | Uses letters or other symbols in place of unknown values, can be used in a expression. Example: 2+y=7 |
| Algebraic Expression | A mathematical phrase that contains ordinary numbers, and variables. Example: 2+7=y |
| Variable | A number that we have to figure out in an algebraic expression. Example: 2+y=7 Variable=y |
| Equation | Says two things are equal, and has an "= "sign. Example: (12+3)=(14+1) |
| Properties | Statements that are true for any number. Example: 6+10 or 10+6 |
| Commutative Properties | Allows you to change the order in which two numbers are added or multiplied without changing the product or sum. Example: a+b or b+a, ab = ba |
| Associative Properties | Allows you to change the grouping of two numbers that are being multiplied or added without changing the sum or the product. Example: (b+c) = (a+b), a(bc) or (ab)c |
| Identity Properties | Allows you to add 0 to an number and not change its sum and allows you to do the same with multiplying but with 1 and the same with division. Example: 22+0, 22 x 1, and 22 / 1 |
| Equivalent Expressions | Expressions that have the same sum but are switched around. Example: 6 x 10 or 10 x 6 |
| Distributive Property | Multiply a group of numbers or separately. Example: 2(7*8) or 2*7 + 2*8 |
| Factor the Expression | When numeric or algebraic expression are written as a product of their factors. Example: 12 + 8 |
| Coefficient | A number used to multiply a variable. Example: 22x |
| Constant | A number thats on its own. Example: 4x+7 |
| Like Terms | To variable that are the same. Example: 2x+5x=7x |
