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. A general statement written in numbers - symbols - or words that describes how to determine any term in a pattern or relationship.






2. The order in which one performs mathematical operations. PEMDAS (Parentheses - Exponents - Multiplication/Division - Addition/Subtraction)






3. The ways that two things are similar -different or otherwise connected. - an association between two or more variables






4. A pair of symbols used to set apart parts of a problem so that those parts are done first - example ( ).






5. The middle number in a set of numbers that are listed in order.






6. The number that is subtracted from. Example: 7 - 3 = 4 (7 is the '______.')






7. A mathematical expression which shows that two quantities are not equal.






8. To find the value of a numerical or algebraic expression






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






10. The number that is represented as a one followed by 9 zeros. 1 -000 -000 -000






11. 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)






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






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






14. The total when numbers are added.






15. The first number in a multiplication problem; the number being multiplied






16. The ratio of a number to 100 (per one hundred). The symbol %.






17. 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.






18. The top number in a fraction.






19. A portion or piece of a whole.






20. 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.






21. A number multiplied by itself or when the exponent is 2






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






23. Items that come after each other in a pattern. Example 2 - 4 - 6 - 8 are consecutive even numbers.






24. A portion or piece of a whole.






25. To explain the meaning of.






26. The largest number that is a common divisor of a given set of numbers. Ex: GCF of 28 and 36 = 4. The largest number that goes into both 28 and 36 is 4.






27. The amount of space that something occupies or the amount of space that something contains.






28. A number that when multiplied by itself equals a given number.(ex. The square root of 25 is equal to 5 because 5 times 5 equals 25).






29. The difference between the greatest and least numbers in a set of data.






30. The middle number in a set of numbers that are listed in order.






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






32. One of two equal parts.






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






34. A number multiplied by itself or when the exponent is 2






35. The answer to a subtraction problem.

38. To find the answer by using arithmetic; to find out by adding - subtracting - multiplying or dividing; to figure out by reason or logic.






39. Three-dimensional objects that have height - length and width; such as spheres - cylinders - cones - cubes - rectangular prisms and pyramids. - shapes - appearances - or arrangements






40. The largest number that is a common divisor of a given set of numbers. Ex: GCF of 28 and 36 = 4. The largest number that goes into both 28 and 36 is 4.
