Unit 2 Vocabulary M

Rational Explorations: Numbers and their Opposites

TermDefinition
Absolute Value The distance between a number and zero on the number line. The symbol for absolute value is shown in the equation |βˆ’8| = 8.
Cartesian Coordinate Plane A plane containing two perpendicular axes (x and y) intersecting at a point called origin (0, 0).
Coordinates An ordered pair, (π‘₯, 𝑦), that locates a point in a plane.
Distance The amount of separation between 2 points.
Inequality Any mathematical sentence that contains the symbols: > (greater than), < (less than), (less than or equal to), or (greater than or equal to).
Integers The set of whole numbers and their opposites {… βˆ’ 3, βˆ’2, βˆ’1, 0, 1, 2, 3, … }
Magnitude Greatness in size or amount.
Negative Numbers The set of numbers with a value less than zero.
Opposite Numbers Two different numbers that have the same absolute value. Example: 4 and βˆ’4 are opposite numbers because both have an absolute value of 4. They are the same distance from zero, in opposite directions.
Ordered Pair A pair of numbers,(π‘₯, 𝑦), that indicate the position of a point on the Cartesian coordinate Plane.
Origin he point of intersection of the vertical and horizontal axes of a Cartesian coordinate plane. The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).
Polygon A closed figure formed by three or more line segments.
Positive Numbers The set of numbers whose value is greater than zero.
Quadrant One of the four regions on a Coordinate plane formed by the intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis.
Rational Number The set of numbers that can be written in the form ab where a and b are integers and 𝑏 β‰  0.
Sign A symbol that indicates whether a number is positive or negative. Example: in βˆ’4, the (βˆ’) sign shows this number is read β€œnegative four”.
x-axis The horizontal number line on the Cartesian coordinate plane.
x-coordinate The first number in an ordered pair; the position of a point relative to the vertical axis.
y-axis The vertical number line on the Cartesian coordinate plane.
y-coordinate The second number in an ordered pair; the position of a point relative to the horizontal axis.

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.
