| addends | the numbers to be added together in an addition problem |
| algebraic expression | when terms are combined with operations or grouping symbols such as parentheses |
| area | measured in square units and tells how much space a figure takes up |
| binomial | a polynomial with two terms, such as 12x-6 |
| circumference | the distance around the outside of a circle, gnerally indicated by the letter C |
| coefficient | a number placed before and multipying the variable in an algebraic expression |
| common denominator | one number that can be used as a demoninator for both two equivalent fractions |
| denominator | the bottom part of a fraction ( the number below the bar) |
| diameter | the straight-line distance all the way across a circle passing through the center, generally indicated by the letter d |
| difference | the result of subtracting two numbers |
| distributive property | multipying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multipying each addend individually by the number and then adding tghe products together |
| dividend | the number that is divided in a division problem. |
| divide/division | the process of finding an amount or rate "per"or spitting something into equal parts |
| divisor | the number by which another number is to be divided. |
| equation | a statement that asserts that two expressions are equal |
| equivalent fractions | two diffrent fractions tht represent the same part of a whole |
| exponent | a symbol written at the top right of a mathematical expression to indicate the operation of raising that base to a power, it tells you how many times to multiply the base by itself |
