| Venn diagram |  |
| factors | numbers that are multiplied to get a product; 2 and 5 are factors of 10; "factors" and "first" both begin with "f. First you multiply the factors, the answer is the product |
| mixed number | a number a whole number and a fraction; 1 1/2 or 1.5 |
| fraction | a number that names a part of a whole; for example if you give me only one slice of pizza, I have only a fraction of the pie |
| decimal | a number with one or more digits to the right of a decimal point; "deci" is a prefix meaning "ten," and the decimal .5 means 5 tenths |
| equivalent | equal; for example, if you have a dozen pennies and I have twelve pennies, we have an equivalent amount |
| multiple | the product of that number and any whole number is called a multiple of that number; a multiple of 4 is 12, because 4 multiplied by 3 equals 12. |
| repeat | to do or say again and again |
| common | describes something that is shared by two or more |
| terminate | to end; for example, "The Terminator" tried to end things |
| simplest | easiest; for example, learning the "ABC Song" is one of the simplest songs children learn |
| least | smallest number |
| least common multiple | smallest mulitple of the numbers you are comparing; for example, if you want to find the least common multiple of 3 and 8, think of the "times tables" for 3 and 8, and find the smallest number on both tables |
| common multiple | the same mulitiple that is shared by two or more numbers; for example, 2 and 4 share many mulitples, such as 4, 8, 12, etc. |
| im or in | a prefix meaning "not," for example, an impolite statement would not be polite; it would probably be rude |
| improper fraction | a fraction where the top number (numerator) is larger than the bottom number (denominator); a "fraction" usually mean a "part," but if the numerator is larger, the amount is really greater than one. |
| equivalent fractions | fractions that name the SAME or EQUAL number; for example 2/2 and 4/4 both name 1 |
| greatest | largest number |
| greatest common factor | largest number that is a factor in two numbers; make a list of factors to get certain numbers and then find the one that is the largest |
| simplest form | a fraction where the numerator and the denominator are the smallest they can be |
| terminating decimal | a fraction where the division ends without a remainder; for example 1/2 equal .50, with no remainder |
| repeating decimal | a fraction where the division has a remainder, so the quotient, or answer, keeps repeating; for example, 1/3 is the same as .333333 ... the division never ends |
| "de" | prefix that can mean "down;" "decline," "descend." Clue: "denominator" is down: |
