Algebraic EquationStatement of the equality of two expressions formulated by applying to a set of variables the algebraic operations, namely, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to a power, and extraction of a root.
Table Of ValuesA chart to organize variables for graphing.
Common DifferenceIn a sequence, if the difference between every pair of consecutive terms is the same.
PatternA repeated design or arrangement using shapes, lines, colors, numbers, etc.
Arithmetic SequenceA sequence in which the difference between any two consecutive terms is the same.
Coordinate SystemA plane in which a horizontal number line and a vertical number line intersect at their zero points.
Quadrant (I, II, III, IV)(1) A quarter of the circumference of a circle. (2) A plane figure made by two radii of a circle at a 90 degree angle and the arc cut off by them. (3) The space between the X-axis and the Y-axis. Numbered in a counterclockwise direction.
Ordered PairPairs of numbers used to locate points in the coordinate plane.
X-CoordinateThe first number in an ordered pair.
Y-CoordinateThe second number in an ordered pair.
Line Of SymmetryThe line that divides something in half so that one half is the mirror image of the other half. There may be more than one.
Scale DrawingA drawing or plan on which the real object is made bigger or smaller while keeping the same proportions.
Scale ModelA representation or copy of an object that is larger or smaller than the actual size of the object being represented.
TransformationsMovements of geometric figures.
ReflectionA type of transformation where a figure is flipped over a line of symmetry.
Term(1) A number in a sequence. (2) A number, a variable, or a product or quotient of numbers and variables.
TranslationWhen a shape is moved along a straight line without being flipped, rotated, or reflected.
DilationA representation or copy of an object that is larger or smaller than the actual size of the object being represented.
PerspectivesWhen drawing on paper, we can show depth by drawing all parallel lines running into one or several points on the horizon. These points are called vanishing points. The drawing looks like it is 3-dimensional.
PerpendicularForming a right angle.
Isoceles TriangleTwo sides have the same length and two angles have the same measure.
Scalene TriangleEach side is different in length.
Equilateral TriangleThree sides of equal length and three equal angles.
Right TrianglesHas a right angle.
LegsEither of the two sides that form the right angle of a right triangle.
HypotenuseThe side opposite the right angle in a right triangle.
CongruentExactly equal. Matching exactly. Two figures that have the same shape and the same size.
AdjacentPositioned next to each other, having a common point or side.
CircumferenceThe distance around a circle.
PerimeterThe distance around a closed shape, or the length of its boundary.
AreaThe amount of surface or the size of a surface. It is measured in square units.
Lateral Surface AreaThe face or surface of a solid on its sides. That is, any face or surface that is not a base.
Total Surface AreaThe total area of the exterior surface of a solid.
VolumeThe amount of space inside a container, or the actual amount of material in the container.
FaceIn a 3-dimensional shape, the flat part of the surface that is bounded by the edges.
EdgeIn geometry, the line that is the intersection of two plane faces.
PyramidsA solid (3D shape) which has a polygon for a base and traingles for all the other faces.
ConesA solid which has a circular base and comes in to a point at the top.
SpheresA 3-dimensional shape like a round ball. It has one curved surface and no corners or edges. Every point on the surface is the same distance from the center.
PrismsA solid figure with two faces that are parallel and the same in size and shape. They can be any polygon.
LineA straight path of points that extends forever in both directions. It is the shortest distance between two points.
Line SegmentPart of a straight line.
PlaneA flat surface, like the floor of a house or a wall. It extends infinitely in all directions.
QuadrilateralsA plane shape with four sides and four angles.
Complementary AngleTwo angles for which the sum of their measure is 90 degrees.
VertexTop, the highest part or point. A point where two or more adjacent lines meet to form an angle or a corner. In plane or solid figures, the point opposite the base.
Supplementary AngleTwo angles for which the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.
DiameterA line segment joining two points of a circle and passing through the center of the circle. It equals two radii (r).
Center Of A CircleA point that is the same distance from all points on the circumference. The distance is called the radius (r).
Obtuse AnglesThis is bigger than a right angle (90 degrees) but smaller than a straight angle (180 degrees).
Acute AnglesA sharply pointed angle with size less than a right angle (90 degrees).
Pythagorean TheoremIn any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the sides.
Pythagorean TriplesThree integers a, b, and c that satisfy a² + b² = c².
NetA flat pattern that can be cut out, folded and glued together to make a 3-dimensional model of a solid.
DiagonalA line segment joining two corners that are not next to each other in any polygon.
AltitudeHeight. How high something is above the surface of the earth, sea level, or horizon. It is the length of perpendicular height from base to vertex.
2-DimensionalWhen something has length and width.
3-DimensionalWhen something has length, width, and height.
Nth termA formula with ‘n’ in it which enables you to find any term of a sequence without having to go up from one term to the next.
Algebraic ExpressionOne or more algebraic terms in a phrase. It can include variables, constants, and operating symbols, such as plus and minus signs. It's only a phrase, not the whole sentence, so it doesn't include an equal sign.
