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






2. Specific form of representing ratios - examples - a/b or 2/3 (denominator cannot be zero)






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






4. Math phrase that uses variables - numbers and operation symbols






5. 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






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






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






8. A function whose graph is a straight line.






9. Any of the natural numbers (positive or negative) or zero; any of the set of whole numbers and their opposites






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






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






12. Same shape - but different size






13. States that changing grouping of factors does not change the product. (ab)c = a(bc); ex: (2 6) 7 = 2 (6 7)






14. 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)






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






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






17. Math phrase that uses variables - numbers and operation symbols






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






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






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






21. 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






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






23. Numeric value that does not change






24. The reciprocal of a number.






25. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on the coordinate plane; (0 - 0).






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






33. A quantity that does not vary






34. Any of the natural numbers (positive or negative) or zero; any of the set of whole numbers and their opposites






35. 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






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






37. A symbol (like x or y) that is used in mathematical or logical expressions to represent a variable quantity; in the expression 2x + 3 - x is the variable






38. A method of measurement that uses formulas - similar figures - and/or proportions.






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






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. 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

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






44. 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.






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






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






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