Algebraic Thinking

        Help!  

Question
Answer
variable   A letter or symbol used to represent a number.  
🗑
order of operations   The order in which one performs mathematical operations. GEMDAS (Grouping, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction)  
🗑
evaluate   To find the value of a numerical or algebraic expression (solve)  
🗑
parentheses   A pair of symbols used to set apart parts of a problem so that those parts are done first, example ( ).  
🗑
expression   A math sentence containing only numbers, symbols, and operations (Ex: 3 x 2 + 4 - 1)  
🗑
pattern   Things that are arranged following a rule or rules.  
🗑
brackets   [ ], grouping symbols, A pair of symbols used to enclose sections of an expression.  
🗑
braces   A pair of symbols used to set apart parts of a problem so that those parts are done first, example { }.  
🗑
unknown   the answer that is not known  
🗑
coordinate plane   A coordinate system formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line, called the x-axis, and a vertical number line, called the y-axis.  
🗑
coordinate   A number that determines the position of a point in one direction on a grid.  
🗑
x-axis   the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane  
🗑
y-axis   the vertical number line in a coordinate plane  
🗑
origin   (0,0) The starting point on a graph.  
🗑
x-coordinate   The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates (how far along the point is). Always written first in an ordered pair (x, y).  
🗑
y-coordinate   The vertical value in a pair of coordinates (how far up or down the point is). Always written second in an ordered pair (x, y).  
🗑
equation   A mathematical sentence that shows that two expressions are equivalent.  
🗑
first quadrant   The region in which the x and y coordinates are both positive. This is the upper right section of a 4 part coordinate plane.  
🗑
ordered pair   A pair of numbers that can be used to locate a point on a coordinate plane. Ex: (3,5)  
🗑
interval   The distance between one number and the next on the scale of a graph.  
🗑
axes   Plural of axis. The x and y lines that cross at right angles to make a graph.  
🗑
operations   mathematical processes (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide)  
🗑


   

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.
