Math Defnitions Flashcards
Difference
The output value from the operation of subtraction
subtraction
The operation that means to continue to count a specified amount in the reverse of a specified direction
The inverse operation to addition
The operation used to calculate the distance between two points on the number line
zero
The number that is the additive identity.
Additive Identity
The value that, for the operation of addition, has no effect
BIG IDEA: “To add, subtract, or compare values, they must have the same units
The Associative Property of Addition
for the operation of addition, the order in which multiple instances of addition are performed does not affect the final output value
The Commutative Property of Addition
For the operation of addition, the order of the input values does not affect the output value
variable
a symbolic representation of an unknown or undisclosed value or expression
simplify
perform all the possible operations and follow standard conventions of mathematical syntax
evaluate
find the value of the expression
solution
the values of the variable(s) that makes the statement true
solve
find the value of the variable that makes the statement true
Equation
a mathematical statement that two expressions have the same value
expression
- a meaningful collection of numbers, variables, operations, and or grouping symbols
equals
has the same value as
equal
have the same value as each other
terms
the input values for the operation of addition
sum
The output value from the operation of addition
addition
- the operation that means to continue to count
- the operation that means to continue to move a specified amount in a specified direction
Mathematicians
create models of unfamiliar real-world situations. They use these models to uncover truth, make predictions, and make decisions that optimize the use of scarce resources.
numeral
a symbolic representation of a particular value/quantity/amount
number
A particular value quantity amount
operation
a procedure that produces a new output value from one or more input values
Arithmetic
Performing basic operations on numbers
algebra
- the study of the structure of mathematics
- the study of relations and operations
- the application of arithmetic principals to unfamiliar situations
- arithmetic with variables(informal)
Math
a logical system of symbolic and theoretical constructs, created to accurately represent realty.
