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 first number in a multiplication problem; the number being multiplied






2. 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)






3. A part of a whole expressed using a numerator and a denominator.






4. 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.






5. The number that is represented as a one followed by 12 zeros. 1 -000 -000 -000 -000






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






7. A math sentence containing only numbers and operational symbols. (ie. 3 + 2 - 5 - 4)

19. To explain the meaning of.






20. A number in front of a variable






21. 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)






22. The total when numbers are added.






23. The number you are dividing by.






24. An exact location in space - represented by a dot.

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






28. 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.






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






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






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






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






33. 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.






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






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






36. 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.






37. A pair of symbols used to enclose sections of an expression. { }






38. 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).
