Across
- 1. the counting numbers; these are the first numbers learned, and they introduce positive numbers (2 words, no space)
- 7. a horizontal line drawn over a group of numbers in a mathematical expression to indicate they are to be operated on as a single number; it is a grouping symbol (challenge)
- 9. a number whose numerator is bigger than its denominator (2 words, no space)
- 12. multiplication in disguise
- 13. ab = ba; a + b = b + a (2 words, no space)
- 18. the top part of a fraction
- 21. natural numbers, their opposites, and zero; these are the numbers on the number line, and they introduce negative numbers
