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 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






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






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






4. 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).






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






6. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






7. (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.






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






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






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






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






12. The smallest number - other than zero - that is a multiple of two or more given numbers; The LCM of 10 and 18 is 90.






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






14. The smallest number - other than zero - that is a multiple of two or more given numbers; The LCM of 10 and 18 is 90.






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






16. The reciprocal of a number.






17. 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






18. 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






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






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






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






22. A function whose graph is a straight line.






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






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






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






26. 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






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






28. 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






29. 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.






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

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






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






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






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