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






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






3. The ratio of dimensions of the new image to those of the original figure






4. The number obtained by division; the ratio of two quantities to be divided; the answer to a division problem






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






6. 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.






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






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






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






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






11. Same shape - but different size






12. 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






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






14. Fractions that name the same amount or part - 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions






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






16. A quantity that does not vary






17. 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






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






19. The order in which operations in an expression to be evaluated are carried out. 1. parentheses 2. exponets 3. multiplication and divison 4. addition and subtraction






20. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






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






22. The distance from zero to the real number on a number line.






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






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






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






26. The distance from zero to the real number on a number line.






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






28. 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)






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






30. A real number that cannot be expressed as a rational number






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






32. 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.






33. 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






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






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






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






37. The largest common factor of two or more given numbers; The GCF of 27 and 45 is 9.






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






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






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






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






42. The reciprocal of a number.






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






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






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






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






47. A quantity that does not vary






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






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






50. 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)
