Middle Grade Math And Basic Algebra

Subjects : math, algebra
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A mathematical phrase involving one or more terms and operations






2. Changing the order of the factors does not change the product; for example 10 x 9 = 9 x 10; a b = b a






3. A quantity obtained by multiplication; the answer to a multiplication problem






4. Math phrase that uses variables - numbers and operation symbols






5. A function whose graph is a straight line.






6. The reciprocal of a number.






7. An input-output relationship that has exactly one output for each input; An equation written with two variables where only one output exists for each input; example: y = 2x +1






8. Letter that represents a number; variable amounts may change






9. Numeric value that does not change






10. A decimal number that ends or terminates; example: 6.75






11. Letter that represents a number; variable amounts may change






12. Expressions that contain the same variables to the same power






13. A fraction in which the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator; examples: 5/5 or 7/4






14. A number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers - but b is not equal to 0; an integer or a fraction; examples: 6 can be expressed as 6/1; 0.5 can be expressed as 1/2.






15. An equation whose solutions form a straight line on a coordinate plane; example: y = 3x - 1






16. An ordered list or numbers; example: 2 -4 -6 -8 -10...






17. The number obtained by division; the ratio of two quantities to be divided; the answer to a division problem






18. (mathematics) one of a pair of numbers whose sum is zero






19. A decimal in which one or more digits repeat infinitely; The repeating portion of the decimal is shown with a short line drawn over the repeating numbers.






20. Specific form of representing ratios - examples - a:b or 2:3






21. The number obtained by division; the ratio of two quantities to be divided; the answer to a division problem






22. The order in which operations in an expression to be evaluated are carried out. 1. parentheses 2. exponets 3. multiplication and divison 4. addition and subtraction






23. (mathematics) one of a pair of numbers whose product is 1: the reciprocal of 2/3 is 3/2; a fraction that has been flipped. The reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3.






24. A number multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression; a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic






25. An expression that contains only numbers and operations (2 3) + 1






26. Same shape - but different size






27. Specific form of representing ratios - examples - a/b or 2/3 (denominator cannot be zero)






28. For any number a and b - a + b = b + a






29. Any of the numbers (or symbols) that form a product when multiplied together; 3 is a factor of 9






30. The operation which undoes an operation - the opposite operation: subtraction is the inverse of addition - addition is the inverse of subtraction; division is the inverse of multiplication - multiplication is the inverse of division - square root is






31. The ratio of dimensions of the new image to those of the original figure






32. Changing the grouping of terms will not change the sum - (a + b) + c = a + (b + c); ex: (5+3) + 1 = 5 + (3 + 1)






33. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on the coordinate plane; (0 - 0).






34. The product of a quantity by an integer; example 24 is a multiple of 3 and 8






35. Specific form of representing ratios - examples - a/b or 2/3 (denominator cannot be zero)






36. Any of the numbers (or symbols) that form a product when multiplied together; 3 is a factor of 9






37. The largest common factor of two or more given numbers; The GCF of 27 and 45 is 9.






38. The ratio between the size of something and a representation of it






39. An ordered list or numbers; example: 2 -4 -6 -8 -10...






40. A real number that cannot be expressed as a rational number






41. All rational or irrational numbers; real numbers can be represented on the real number line






42. Changing the order of the factors does not change the product; for example 10 x 9 = 9 x 10; a b = b a






43. A method of measurement that uses formulas - similar figures - and/or proportions.






44. Specific form of representing ratios - examples - a:b or 2:3






45. A comparison of two quantities - may be directly represented by numbers and or variables






46. An equation whose solutions form a straight line on a coordinate plane; example: y = 3x - 1






47. The largest common factor of two or more given numbers; The GCF of 27 and 45 is 9.






48. The plane formed by 2 number lines that intersect at their zero points dividing the plane into 4 quadrants; A coordinate system formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line - called the x-axis - and a vertical number line - called the y-axi






49. Fractions that name the same amount or part - 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions






50. The x- and y-axes divide the coordinate plane into four regions. Each region is called a quadrant.
