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 function whose graph is a straight line.






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






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






4. The reciprocal of a number.






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






6. A quantity that does not vary






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






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






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






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






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






12. (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.






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






14. A quantity that does not vary






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






16. 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.






17. Numeric value that does not change






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






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






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






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






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






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






24. 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






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






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






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






28. Statement that two fractions or ratios are equal






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






36. 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.






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






38. A mathematical phrase involving one or more terms and operations






39. Same shape - but different size






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






42. 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)






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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