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 quantity that does not vary






2. A function whose graph is a straight line.






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






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






5. 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






6. The reciprocal of a number.






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






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






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






10. Numeric value that does not change






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






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






13. Same shape - but different size






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






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






16. 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)






17. 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).






18. 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.






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






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






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. Expressions that contain the same variables to the same power






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






35. 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)






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






44. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






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