| additive inverse | A number that when added to a given number results in a sum of zero; the opposite of a number. |
| adjacent angles | Two angles in a plane that share a common side and share a common |
| algebraic expression | A mathematical phrase that is written using one or more |
| algebraic inequality | An algebraic statement that is written using one or more variables and constants that shows a greater than or less than relationship |
| alternate exterior angles | A pair of angles on the outer sides of two lines intersected by a transversal, but on opposite sides of the transversal. |
| alternate interior angles | A pair of angles on the inner sides of two lines intersected by a transversal, but on opposite sides of the transversal. |
| associative property | A property of real numbers that states that the sum or product of a set of numbers is the same, regardless of how the numbers are grouped. |
| binomial | An algebraic expression consisting of two terms |
| calculate | To compute; to perform the indicated operation(s). |
| coefficient | A constant that multiplies a variable |
| combine like terms | To simplify expressions by adding or subtracting like terms |
| commutative property of addition | A property of real numbers that states that the sum of two terms is unaffected by the order in which the terms are added; i.e., the sum remains the same |
| commutative property of multiplication | A property of real numbers that states that the product of two factors is unaffected by the order in which they are multiplied; i.e., the product remains the same |
| complementary angles | Two angles whose measures have a sum of 90° |
| compute | To find the numerical result by applying arithmetic operations |
| consecutive | Following one right after the other in order |
| constant | A quantity that does not change its value in a given expression or equation |
| decimal number | A fractional number written using base ten notation; a mixed decimal number has a whole number part as well |
| decrease | To take away or become smaller. |
| denominator | The quantity below the line in a fraction. It represents the number of equal parts into which the whole is divided. |
| dilation | A transformation that stretches or shrinks a function or graph both horizontally and vertically by the same scale factor. |
| dimensions | Measurements of a figure |
| discount | A reduction made from the gross amount or value of something; a reduction made from the regular or list price. |
| distance | The length of the line segment joining two points |
| distributive property | A property of real numbers that states that the product of the sum or difference of two numbers is the same as the sum or difference of their products. |
| dividend | A number to be divided by another number |
| domain | The set of values for which a function is defined |
| equal to | A symbol that means two things have the same amount, size, number, or value |
| equation | A mathematical sentence stating that two expressions are equal. |
| estimate | An answer that is an approximation. |
| evaluate | To find the value of a mathematical expression |
| exchange rate | The ratio of the value of one currency in relation to the value of another. |
| exponent | A number that tells how many times the base is used as a factor; in an |
| expression | A mathematical representation containing numbers, variables, and |
| foot | A customary unit used to measure length; 1 foot = 12 inches. |
| fraction | A number that represents part of a whole, part of a set, or a quotient in the form a/b which can be read as a divided by b |
| function | A mathematical relationship between two variables, an independent variable and a dependent variable, where every value of the independent variable corresponds to exactly one value of the dependent value |
| greatest common factor | The greatest number or expression that is a factor of two or more numbers or expressions (e.g., the greatest common factor of 12 and 18 is 6). |
| inequality | A mathematical statement containing one of the symbols: , , , , or =≠to indicate the relationship between two quantities |
| input value | A value assigned to a variable in a given formula or expression that allows the formula or expression to be evaluated |
| integers | The set of numbers consisting of the counting numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, ... ), their opposites |
| inverse property | A property of real numbers that states that the result of two real numbers that when combined will result in the identity element; when a number is added to its additive inverse, the sum is always zero |
| irrational number | A real number that cannot be represented as an exact ratio of two integers; the decimal form of the number never terminates and never repeats |
| law of exponents for multiplication | The product of two or more numbers in |
