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. An expression that contains only numbers and operations (2 3) + 1






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






3. The product of a quantity by an integer; example 24 is a multiple of 3 and 8






4. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






5. A pair of numbers that can be used to locate a point on a coordinate plane.






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






7. An expression that contains only numbers and operations (2 3) + 1






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






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






10. The plane formed by 2 number lines that intersect at their zero points dividing the plane into 4 quadrants; A coordinate system formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line - called the x-axis - and a vertical number line - called the y-axi






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






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






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






14. A function whose graph is a straight line.






15. The reciprocal of a number.






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






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






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






19. A number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers - but b is not equal to 0; an integer or a fraction; examples: 6 can be expressed as 6/1; 0.5 can be expressed as 1/2.






20. 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)






21. A number multiplied by a variable in an algebraic expression; a constant number that serves as a measure of some property or characteristic






22. A number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers - but b is not equal to 0; an integer or a fraction; examples: 6 can be expressed as 6/1; 0.5 can be expressed as 1/2.






23. Specific form of representing ratios - examples - a:b or 2:3






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. Any of the numbers (or symbols) that form a product when multiplied together; 3 is a factor of 9






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






32. Same shape - but different size






33. A pair of numbers that can be used to locate a point on a coordinate plane.






34. Changing the order of the factors does not change the product; for example 10 x 9 = 9 x 10; a b = b a






35. 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






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






37. 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.






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