| area | The amount of surface inside a 2-dimensional figure. Area is measured in square units. |
| axis of a coordinate grid | Either of the two number lines that intersect to form a coordinate grid.Either of the two number lines that intersect to form a coordinate grid. |
| capacity | The amount of space occupied by a 3-dimensional shape. Same as volume. The amount a container can hold. Capacity is often measured in units such as quarts, gallons, cups, or liters. |
| coordinate | A number used to locate a point on a number line, or one of two numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid. |
| coordinate grid | A reference frame for locating points in a plane using ordered number pairs, or coordinates.,  |
| formula | A general rule for finding the value of something. A formula is usually an equation with quantities represented by letter variables. For example, the formula for the area of a rectangle may be written as A = l * w, where A represents the area of the rectangle, l represents the length, and w represents the width. |
| latitude | A measure, in degrees, of the distance of a place north or south of the equator. |
| longitude | A measure, in degrees, of the distance of a place east or west of of the prime meridian. |
| ordered number pair | Two numbers that are used to locate a point on a coordinate grid. The first number gives the position along the horizontal axis; the second number gives the position along the vertical axis. Ordered number pairs are usually written inside parentheses: (2,3). |
| perpendicular | Two lines or two planes that intersect at right angles. Line segments or rays that lie on perpendicular lines are perpendicular to each other.,  |
| rectangle method | A method for finding area in which one or more rectangles are drawn around a figure or parts of a figure.,  |
| transformation | Common transformations are translations (slides), reflections (flips), and rotations (turns). |
| volume | The amount of space occupied by a 3-dimensional shape. Same as capacity. The amount a container can hold. Volume is usually measured in cubic units. |
