Across
- 5. The numerical factor of a term containing a variable Example: the 3 in the term 3x
- 6. A mathematical statement that combines numbers, operation signs and sometimes variables
- 7. A comparison of two numbers using division Example: 3 to 4, 3/4, 3:4
- 10. Property The order in which numbers are added or multiplied does not change their sum or product. 1 + 2 = 2 + 1
- 12. A measure of how many times an event occurs
- 14. A number that can be multiplied by another number to get a given number; divides evenly into a number
- 15. Pair A pair of numbers in the form (x, y) that gives the location of a point on a coordinate plane
- 17. Variable The variable whose value is affected by the independent variable
- 18. The middle value in a data set ordered from least to greatest
- 19. Rate A rate in which the second measurement or amount is 1 unit Example: 35 miles per hour
- 23. A ratio that compares two quantities with different units of measure Example: 70 miles in 2 hours
- 24. Property 2(x + 5) = 2x + 10
- 29. Any part of an algebraic expression separated by a plus or minus sign.
- 30. The average for a set of data (add all values up and divide by the number of values you have)
- 32. Property The way in which numbers are grouped does not change the sum or product. (1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3)
- 34. The number of square units needed to cover a figure
- 35. Range The difference between the first and third quartiles in a data set
- 36. Common Multiple The smallest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers
- 40. Common Factor The largest factor two or more numbers share
- 41. Plot A graph the shows the least and greatest values, first and third quartiles, and median of a data set
- 43. of Operations The correct sequence for evaluating expressions; use GEMS
- 46. A solid figure whose base is a polygon and whose other faces are triangles
- 47. Absolute Deviation (MAD) A measure of variability; the average distance data values are from their mean in a set of data
- 48. Integers Whole numbers less than zero
Down
- 1. Value The distance of a number from zero on a number line
- 2. A ratio that compares a number to 100: "per 100" or "out of 100"
- 3. A touching bar graph that shows the frequency of data within equal intervals
- 4. A mathematical statement that compares two expressions using <, >, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to
- 8. Property The sum of any number and 0 equals the number. The product of any number and 1 equals the number. 5 x 1 = 5 and 5 + 0 = 5
- 9. Any of the four section of a coordinate plane
- 11. The value or values that occur most often in a data set
- 13. The number that tells how many times the base is used as a factor. In 5^3, the 3.

- 20. Figure Any figure that has length, width, and height; also known as a solid figure
- 21. A flat pattern that can be folded into a three-dimensional figure
- 22. Plot A data display in which each data item is shown as a dot or mark above a number line
- 25. A face of a solid figure; the face for which a solid is named
- 26. A solid figure with two parallel bases that are congruent polygons whose other faces are rectangles
- 27. A letter or symbol used to represent a number
- 28. Operations Addition and Subtraction; Division and Multiplication; "undo" each other
- 31. The set of counting numbers (1, 2, 3...), their opposites (-1, -2, -3...), and 0
- 33. A measure of the number of cubic units that fit inside a solid figure
- 37. A statement that two quantities are equal; contains an equal sign (=)
- 38. The distance around a figure
- 39. A value that is much greater than or much less than the other values in a data set
- 42. Area The total area of all surfaces of a 3D figure; has square units
- 43. Numbers that are the same distance from 0 on a number line Example: 8 and -8
- 44. Terms Terms that have the same power raised to the same power Example: 5x and 2x
- 45. Variable The variable whose value affects the dependent variable
