The Indication of a number with a dot on the number line.

23
Q

Commutative Property

A

The Property that states Changing the order of two addends/ factors does not change their sum/ multiple

24

A

To ascertain the numerical value of a function.

27
Q

Diffrence

A

The result (or answer) of a subtrahend being subtracted from a minuend.

28
Q

Addition Property of 0

A

The Property that states The sum of 0 and any number is that same number.

29
Q

Addition

A

Combining two addends to create a sum.

30
Q

Multiplication sign

A

x

31
Q

A single unit number that uses the symbols 0-9.

32
Q

Rounding

A

Replacing a number with an estimate of that number to a given place value.

33
Q

Subtraction

A

Finding the diffrence between a subtrahend and a minuend.

34
Q

Expression

A

A combination of numbers, symbols, and operations to represent a certain quantity. For example, x2 + 2x + 3 is a quadratic expression .

35
Q
