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. 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)






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






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






5. A function whose graph is a straight line.






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






7. 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.






8. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






21. A quantity that does not vary






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. 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.






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






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






32. 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).






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. (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.






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






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






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






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






45. 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).






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






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






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






49. A quantity that does not vary






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