| variable | a letter or symbol that expresses an unspecific number |
| constant | a letter or symbol that represents a specific number |
| commutative property | a + v = v + a |
| associative property | (u + v) + w = u + (v + w) |
| identity property | u(1) = u |
| inverse property | u + (-u) = 0 |

| scatter plot | the graphing of (x,y) data pairs on a cartesian plane |
| magnitude | absolute value of a real number (or size) |
| reflexive property | u = u |
| symmetric property | if u = v, then v = u |
| transitive property | if u = v, and v = w, then u = w. |
| addition property | if u = v and w = z, then u + w = v + z |
