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






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






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






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






5. Same shape - but different size






6. (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.






7. 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






8. A function whose graph is a straight line.






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






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






11. 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.






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






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






14. 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.






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






16. Same shape - but different size






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






18. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. A quantity that does not vary






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






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






33. A function whose graph is a straight line.






34. 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)






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






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






37. 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






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






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






40. 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






41. A number written as the product of its prime factors; examples: 10 = 2 5 - 24 = 2^3 3 (^3 means the 3 is written smaller and to the upper right of 2).






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






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