| A | B |
| Order of Operations | the rules that tell you which operation comes first in solving an expression |
| Associative Property | a + b + c = a + (b+c) OR a•b•c = a(b•c) |
| Commutative Property | a+ b = b + a OR a•b = b•a |
| Distributive Property | a(b+c) = ab + ac |
| sum | the answer to an addition problem |
| quotient | the answer to a division problem |
| difference | the answer to a subtraction problem |
| product | the answer to a multiplication problem |
| absolute value | the distance between a number and zero |
| exponent | shows you how many times the base number is to be used in a multiplication |
| to square | to multiply a base number by itself. Example : 4 x 4 |
| to cube | to multiply a base number by itself 2 times. Example: 4x4x4 |
| integer | a positive or negative whole number |
| proportion | an equation stating that two ratios are equivalent |
| numerator | The top number in a fraction, shows how many parts we have |
| denominator | the bottom number in a fraction; shows how many parts make a whole |
| repeating decimal | a decimal number that has digits that repeat forever |
| to commute | to move numbers in an expression |
