- 2. A rule that connects each input (like a number you put in) to exactly one output (the answer you get out).
- 4. Signs When numbers both have a plus sign (positive) or both have a minus sign (negative). Examples: 5 × 5 −5 × −5
- 6. The answer to an addition problem. Example: 6 + 7 = 13

- 11. of Operations The rules that tell us the order to solve math problems.
- 13. To go down or get smaller.
- 16. The number that is being divided in a division problem. Example: 12 ÷ 4 = 3
- 20. The answer to a subtraction problem. Example: 12 − 4 = 8
- 22. Value The value of a digit based on where it is in the number (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.).
