congruent | having the same shape and size |
convert | to change something into a different form of properties |
coordinate | an ordered pair of numbers that give the location of a point in a coordinate grid |
decimal | a dot separating the ones and tenths places in a decimal number |

quotient | the result of division |
remainder | in whole number division, when you have divided as far as you can without using decimals, what has not yet been divided |
simplify | combine like terms and apply properties to an expression to make computation easier |
tenths | value of a digit one place to the right of the decimal |
uncertain | lacking or indicating lack of confidence or assurance |
