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

  1. 1. Value The distance of a number from zero on a number line
  2. 2. A ratio that compares a number to 100: "per 100" or "out of 100"
  3. 3. A touching bar graph that shows the frequency of data within equal intervals
  4. 4. A mathematical statement that compares two expressions using <, >, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to
  5. 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
