Fifth Grade Common Core Math Vocabulary

Subjects : common-core, math, 5th-grade
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. Evenly spaced units.






2. A mathematical phrase that contains operations - numbers - and/or variables - but doesn't have an equal sign






3. The answer to a multiplication problem.






4. A letter or symbol used to represent a number.






5. A repeating arrangement of shapes - colors - numbers - etc.






6. A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid. The first number tells how far to move horizontally - and the second number tells how far to move vertically. Ex. (1 -3) (3 -9)






7. Operations that undo each other - reversed - opposite operation. Operations that have opposite effects. Subtraction is the inverse operation of addition. Division is the inverse operation of multiplication.






8. The explanation or answer for a problem






9. A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid. The first number tells how far to move horizontally - and the second number tells how far to move vertically. Ex. (1 -3) (3 -9)

15. Having the same value or naming the same amount.






16. A plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line called the x-axis and a vertical number line called the y-axis.






17. A way of making sure your answer is reasonable - rounding is a commonly used strategy.






18. A comparison of two or more numbers using division.






19. A whole number that can divide evenly into another number without a remainder.

44. A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself (base).






45. The left over amount when a number cannot be divided equally.






46. A mathematical phrase that contains operations - numbers - and/or variables - but doesn't have an equal sign
