AB
factorOne of two or more numbers multiplied to find a product.
productThe answer to a multiplication problem.
comparisonA method of showing whether one quantity is greater than, less than, or equal to another quantity.
areaThe amount of surface covered or enclosed by a figure measured in square units.
combinationA selection of members of a set when the order is not important.
equal groupsGroups that have the same number of objects.
arrayAn arrangement of objects, pictures, or numbers in equal columns and equal rows.
functionA relationship between two sets of numbers.
variableA letter or a symbol that represents a number in an algebraic expression.
equationA statement that two expressions are equal.
parenthesesSymbols used to group numbers or variables in an equation or expression.
misleadingLanguage in a comparing sentence that may cause you to do the wrong thing.
commutative propertyThe property that states that changing the oder in which numbers are multiplied does not change the product.
associative propertyThe property that states that changing the grouping of factors does not change their product.
distributive propertyThe property that states that when two addends are multiplied by a factor, the product is the same as when each addend is multiplied by the factor and those products are added.
expressionOne or more numbers, variables, or numbers and variables with one or more operations signs.
exampleA proposed problem, used to prove that a mathematical property or argument applies to a specific case.
counterexampleAn example that proves that a general statement is false.

standard formA way to write a number that shows only its digits.
word formA way to show a number using words.
expanded formA way to write a number that shows the place value of each digit.
pictographA graph that uses symbols to show data.
scaleNumbers or marks arranged at regular intervals that are used for measurement or to establish position.
estimateA number close to an exact amount.
bar graphA graph that uses bars to show data.
