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






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. Letter that represents a number; variable amounts may change






4. 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.






5. A property indicating a special way in Which multiplication is applied to addition of two or more numbers in which each term inside a set of parentheses can be multiplied by a factor outside the parentheses - such as a(b + c) = ab + ac; ex: 4(3 + 8)






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. Same shape - but different size






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






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






15. States that changing grouping of factors does not change the product. (ab)c = a(bc); ex: (2 6) 7 = 2 (6 7)






16. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






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






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






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






20. 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.






21. The reciprocal of a number.






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






23. Same shape - but different size






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






25. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






36. Numeric value that does not change






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






38. A quantity that does not vary






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






40. 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






41. A function whose graph is a straight line.






42. 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






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






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






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






46. States that changing grouping of factors does not change the product. (ab)c = a(bc); ex: (2 6) 7 = 2 (6 7)






47. 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).






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






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






50. A function whose graph is a straight line.
