Term
Definition
Real Numbers   all the numbers we use every day  
🗑
Rational Numbers   any number that can be written as a fraction (ratio); any decimal that terminates (ends) or repeats  
🗑
Integers   whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...) and their opposites (-1, -2, -3, ...)  
🗑
Whole Numbers   0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...  
🗑
Natural Numbers   1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...  
🗑
Irrational Numbers   decimals that are non-terminating and non-repeating; non-perfect squares, pi  
🗑
How do I handle a negative exponent?   flip the base over the fraction bar and change the exponent sign to positive  
🗑
What is the base of an exponent?   the large number written on the line; the number that gets multiplied by itself  
🗑
What is the power of an exponent?   the little number that is written next to the base; it means how many times the base is multiplied by itself  
🗑
What is a radical sign?   the symbol that means square root  
🗑
Perfect Square   the number you get when you square a whole number (ex. 10 squared = 100; 100 is a perfect square)  
🗑
Scientific Notation   the method of writing numbers in terms of a decimal number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10  
🗑
Standard Notation   our normal way of writing numbers  
🗑
Commutative Property of Addition   a + b = b + a; 3 + 4 = 4 + 3  
🗑
Commutative Property of Multiplication   a * b = b * a; 5 * 6 = 6 * 5  
🗑
Associative Property of Addition   a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c 1 + (2 + 3) = (1 + 2) + 3  
🗑
Associative Property of Multiplication   (a * b) * c = a * (b * c) (4 * 5) * 6 = 4 * (5 * 6)  
🗑
Distributive Property   a(b + c) = a*b + a*c 2(3 + 4) = 2*3 + 2*4  
🗑
Additive Identity Property   a + 0 = a; 9 + 0 = 9  
🗑
Multiplicative Identity Property   a * 1 = a; 9 * 1 = 9  
🗑
Additive Inverse Property   a + (-a) = 0; 4 + (-4) = 0  
🗑
Multiplicative Inverse Property   a * 1/a = 1; 3 * 1/3 = 1  
🗑
Multiplication of Zero Property   a * 0 = 0; 7 * 0 = 0  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
