 statistics | the collection, organization, presentation, interpretation and analysis of data |
| stem & leaf | a data display that shows groups of data arranged by place value |
| magnitude | a number assigned to a quantity so that it may be compared with other quantities; a property that can be described by a real number, such as the volume of a sphere or the length of a vector |
| exponential notation | lets you move a decimal point in a number; simplifies numbers by getting rid of zeros |
| standard notation | decimal notation as opposed to scientific or power of the notation |
| exponent/power | a small number placed to the upper right of a number - shows the number of times the base is multiplied |
| scientific notation | a way of writing very large or very small numbers using a number between 1 and 10 and multiplied by a power of 10 |
| formula | a mathematical rule using symbols usually as an equation describing relationships between quantities |
| variable | a quantity that can change, taking on different values; letters or symbols can represent |
| evaluate | a term used in algebra - to find a numerical value for it, to work it out |
| spreadsheet | a representation used to organize and manipulate data information is entered into cells and arranged in columns and rows |
| intersecting lines | lines crossing over one another |
| vertex | point where surfaces meet; corner |
| coordinates (coordinate grid) | shown as a pair of letters or numbers to show position or a coordinate plane or map (a plane containing two perpendicular axes intersecting at the origin, 0, 0) |
| reflection | a mirror view |
| bisector | a line, point, or plane dividing something into two equal sections |
| reciprocal | one of two numbers whose product is one; multiplicative inverse |
| inverse | the quantity cancelling out a given quantity; different kinds of inverses for different operations |
| order of operations | the order in which operations should be done (PEMDAS) |
| equation | mathematical statement containing an = sign to show that two expressions are equal |
| solution | answers to a problem |
| constant | a quantity having a fixed value that does not change; example: a number |
| probability | the chance that a particular outcome will occur, measured as a ratio of possible outcomes |
| proportion | a part to whole comparison |
| rate | ratio comparing quantities in different units |
| ratio | comparative value of two or more amounts |
| scale | basis for a number system |
| simplify | to make less complex or complicated; make plainer or easier |
| square numbers | a number that results from multiplying another number by itself |
| square root | a number when multiplied by itself gives the original number |
