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. Same shape - but different size






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






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






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






5. 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






6. (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.






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






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






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






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






11. 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






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






13. Same shape - but different size






14. Numeric value that does not change






15. 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).






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






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






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






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






21. A function whose graph is a straight line.






22. 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






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






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






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






26. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






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






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






29. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






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






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






32. 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)






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






34. 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






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






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






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






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






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