Across
- 2. Find the solutions to an equation, inequality, or system.
- 3. A letter (like x) that we can use to mean different numbers at different times.
- 4. A mathematical sentence with an equals sign (like 3x+5=11).
- 6. A 2-dimensional flat surface used for plotting points, lines, curves, and regions. It contains an x and a y axis which intersect at the origin.
- 10. When the points on a grid are not all on a straight line, but seem to have a somewhat linear pattern, you can find a line that is the “best fit” (closest) to the points.
- 13. The study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols.
- 16. An expression that is used to compute a value.
- 17. A whole number or the negative of a whole number. For instance, 37 and 0 and −5 are integers
- 19. A mathematical sentence that uses one of the symbols <, >, ≤, or ≥.
- 20. A single fixed number (unlike a variable, whose value can vary).
- 21. A point on a 2-dimensional plane is described by a pair (x,y). The coordinate x is given by the labels below the grid, and the coordinate y is given by the labels to the left of the grid.
- 22. The point on a coordinate plane where the x-axis and y-axis intersect. It is represented by the coordinates (0,0).
- 23. Using the distributive law to add any two multiples of an expression such as x. For example, you can simplify 4x+5x into 9x.
- 24. Each of the four sections of a coordinate plane made by the intersecting x- and y-axes. The four quadrants are labeled I, II, III, and IV, counterclockwise from the top right.
- 25. One of the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, ... .
- 27. Going from side to side, like the horizon.
Down
- 1. The distance a number is from 0
- 5. In an equation or inequality, a number that can be substituted for the variable to make that equation or inequality true.
- 7. Make a variable appear alone on one side of an equation or inequality, and not occur in the other side of the equation or inequality.
- 8. A value greater than zero (like 3).
- 9. Going up and down.
- 11. A combination of variables and numbers using arithmetic (like 6−x).
- 12. In a power, the number of times the base is multiplied by itself.
- 14. In an expression or equation, eliminating a variable by replacing it with another expression that it is equal to.
- 15. A value less than zero (like −3).
- 18. A constant that a variable or expression is multiplied by.
- 26. Two fractions are equivalent if they have the same numerical value. Two equations or inequalities are equivalent if they have the same solution set.
