AB
Isosceles triangleA triangle with two congruent sides. (two sides are equal)
LegA side of a right triangle that is not the hypotenuse, also a side of an isosceles triangle that is not the base.
LeastSmallest in size or degree.
MaximumThe largest in size or degree.
MinimumThe least of a set of numbers or the least quantity possible.
MeanThe average of a group of numbers.
RangeThe difference between the greatest and the least numbers in a set of data. An estimate consisting of a greater and lesser possible answer.
Right angleAn angle with a measure of 90 degrees.
Right triangleA triangle with one right angle.
Scalene triangleA triangle with no congruent sides. (none of the sides are equal)
SimilarFigures with the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
SymmetricA plane figure that can be folded in half so the two halves match.
FactorA number that divides evenly into a given second number is a factor of that number.
ElementA line segment contained in the surface of a cone or cylinder.
Equilateral triangleA triangle with three congruent sides. (all three sides are equal)
Obtuse anglesAn angle with a measure greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
HypotenuseThe side of a right-angled triangle that is opposite the right angle.
PerimeterThe sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon.
Perpendicularlines that intersect to form right angles.
PolygonA closed plane figure made by line segments.
Prime NumbersA whole number, greater than 1, that has exactly two factors itself and 1.
ProbabilityA number from 0 to 1 that tells how likely it is that a given event will occur. The closer to 1 the more likely the event is to occur. The closer to 0 the less likely it is to occur.
QuadrilateralA four sided polygon. (four sides and four angles.)
MedianThe middle number of a group of numbers when the numbers are listed in order.
ModeThe number that occurs most often in a set of data.
MultipleThe number that is the product of a number and a whole number.
Negative numbersA number less than 0, such as -5 or -10
ParallelLines in a plane that never meet.
ParallelogramA quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and congruent. (sides are the same length)
PatternA general idea by which things can be arranged or events can happen in an organized way.
TessellationA repetitive pattern of polygons with no holes and no overlaps similar to a mosaic which uses one or more geometric shapes.
TrapezoidA quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides
Tree DiagramAn organized way to list all possible outcomes of an experiment.
TriangleA three sided polygon.
Venn DiagramIntersecting circles used to show the relationships between sets.
VolumeA number given in cubic units that indicates the size of the inside of a space figure.
Acute AngleAn angle with a measure less than 90 degrees.
AreaA number given in square units that indicates the size of the inside of a plane figure.
Composite NumbersA whole number, greater than 0, that has more than two factors.
CongruentFigures with the same "size and shape"
Expanded numberA way to write a number to show the value of each digit. (12,764 =10,000 +2000+700+60+4)
