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






2. One of two equal parts.






3. 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).






4. The number that occurs most often in a set of data.






5. 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)






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






7. One of two equal parts.






8. A number less than a whole number; uses place value and a decimal point to show values less than one - such as tenths - hundredths - and thousandths.






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






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






11. The explanation or answer for a problem






12. To explain the meaning of.

29. The top number in a fraction.






30. The plural of vertex - the point where two rays of an angle - two sides of a polygon - or 3 or more edges of a solid figure meet.






31. The smallest number that is a common multiple of a given set of numbers. Ex: LCM of 6 and 8 = 24. The smallest number they both divide into is 24.
