Math Vocab

multiples

• The 2 numbers that are used to show a point on a coordinate grid.
• The number that is to be divided in a division problem.
• The number you are dividing by.
• the numbers you get after you multiply 2 numbers together, they are more than the number you start with

exponent

• guess or round using the information you have to solve to find the reasonableness of an answer
• A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself (base).
• A mathematical phrase that contains operations, numbers, and/or variables, but doesn't have an equal sign
• A way of making sure your answer is reasonable, rounding is a commonly used strategy.

lowest terms

• A whole number that can divide evenly into another number without a remainder.
• a set of symbols that group numbers together ( )
• a number written with words Ex thirteen
• You cannot divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number except 1

order of operations

• in order from greatest to least, going down
• putting in order from least go greatest, going up
• The order in which things happen
• The order in which one performs mathematical operations.

simplest form

• fractions that are the same when in simplest form
• The number that is to be divided in a division problem.
• writing a digit as the sum of its place values Ex. 457 = 400 + 50 + 7
• Another way to say lowest terms. The fractional pieces are the biggest pieces you can make.

sequence

• in order from greatest to least, going down

• a set of 2 numbers (x, y) that tell the exact location of a point on an coordinate grid

ordered pair

• another way to say simplest form, the numerator and denominator only have a factor of 1
• A whole number that can divide evenly into another number without a remainder.
• A math sentence containing only numbers and operational symbols. (ie. 3 + 2, 5 • 4)
• a set of 2 numbers (x, y) that tell the exact location of a point on an coordinate grid
