Algebraic Vocabulary

Algebraic Relationship Vocabulary

TermDefinition
Associative Property No Matter how numbers are grouped, the answer will always be the same
Associative Example (4 + 2) + 6 is the same as 4 + (2 + 6)
Associative Example (2 x 3) x 4 is the same as 2 x (3 x 4)
Base Number A number to be raised to a power
Base Number Example 10 to the 1 Power = 10
Base Number Example 10 to the 2 Power = 10 x 10
Commutative Property In addition and multiplication, Numbers may be added or multiplied together in any order
Commutative Example A + B = B + A
Commutative Example A x B = B x A
Distributive Property Multiplying a number is the same as multiplying its addends by the number then adding the products
Distributive Example 6 x 9 is the same as 6 x (4 x 5) is the same as (6 x 4) + (6 x 5) = 24 + 30 = 54
Equation A mathematical statement containing an equals sign, to show that two expressions are equal
Equation Example 2 + 2 = 4
Equation Example 5x + 10 = 35
Exponent Is a small number placed to the upper right of a base number which shows how many copies of a base number are multiplied together
Exponent Example 5 to the 4 power = 5 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 625
Expression Is one or a group of terms and may include variables, constants, operations and grouping symbols.
Expression Example 3(X + Y) - 8 + 2x
Identity Property When zero is added to a number the result is the number itself. When one is multiplied to a number the result is the number itself.
Identity Property Example 12 + 0 = 12 , X + 0 = X , 6x + 0 = 6x
Identity Property Example 12 x 1 = 12 , X x 1 = X , 6X x 1 = 6X
Inverse Operations Opposite, Reverse operations - Addition and Subtraction Multiplication and Division
Inverse Operations Example 4 + 2 = 6 --------> 6 - 4 = 2
Inverse Operations Example 2 + 4 = 6 ---------> 6 - 2 = 4
Variable A quantity that can change or vary, taking on different values. It may be represented by any letter of the alphabet.
Dependent Variable The " Output " value of a function as in Y = X squared ---- Y is the Dependent variable
Independent Variable The " Input " Value of a function as in Y = X squared ----- X is the dependent variable

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.
