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 pair of numbers that can be used to locate a point on a coordinate plane.






2. A symbol (like x or y) that is used in mathematical or logical expressions to represent a variable quantity; in the expression 2x + 3 - x is the variable






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






4. A symbol (like x or y) that is used in mathematical or logical expressions to represent a variable quantity; in the expression 2x + 3 - x is the variable






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






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






7. 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






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






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






10. A quantity that does not vary






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






12. A mathematical phrase involving one or more terms and operations






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






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






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






16. The number that indicates how many times the base is used as a factor






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






18. 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






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






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






21. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. 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






29. Specific form of representing ratios - examples - a to b or 2 to 3






30. Numeric value that does not change






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






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






33. 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.






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






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






36. Any of the natural numbers (positive or negative) or zero; any of the set of whole numbers and their opposites






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






38. The Zero Property of Addition. Adding 0 to a number leaves it unchanged; ex: 67+0=67 - 67+0=67






39. A diagram of an object in which the dimensions are in proportion to the actual dimensions of the object.






40. The distance from zero to the real number on a number line.






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






42. A number written as the product of its prime factors; examples: 10 = 2 5 - 24 = 2^3 3 (^3 means the 3 is written smaller and to the upper right of 2).






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






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






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






46. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






47. 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






48. 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






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






50. The reciprocal of a number.
