6th Grade Math - End of Year Review
equivalent
Naming the same number.
exponent
The number that tells how many equal factors there are.
multiple
The product of a whole number and any other whole number.
denominator
The quantity below the line in a fraction. It tells the number of equal parts into which a whole is divided.
divisor
The quantity by which another quantity is to be divided.
sum
The result of addition.
quotient
The result of the division of one quantity by another.
minimum
The smallest amount; the smallest number in a data set.
Distributive Property
a × (b - c) = (a × b) -(a × c), where a, b, and c stand for any real numbers.
common factor
Any common factor of two or more numbers.
common multiple
Any common multiple of two or more numbers.
addend
Any number being added.
whole numbers
Any of the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.
measure of center
An average; a single value that is used to represent a collection of data. Three commonly used types of averages are mode, median, and mean. (Also called measures of central tendency or measures of average.)
factor
An number that divides evenly into another.
ratio
A comparison of two numbers using division.
dot plot
A diagram showing frequency of data on a number line.
improper fraction
A fraction with a numerator greater than (or equal to) its denominator.
formula
A general mathematical statement or rule such; A = l x w; or P = 2l + 2 w
inequality
A mathematical sentence that compares two unequal expressions using one of the symbols <, >, ≤, ≥, or ≠.
numerical expression
A mathematical statement including numbers and operations.
measure of variation
A measure of how much a collection of data is spread out. Commonly used types include range and quartiles. (Also known as spread or dispersion.)
constant
A number with a value that is always the same.
mixed number
A number with an integer and a fraction part.
term
A number, variable, product, or quotient in an expression. A term is not a sum or difference.
coefficient
A numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression.
ordered pair
A pair of numbers that gives the coordinates of a point on a grid in this order (horizontal coordinate, vertical coordinate).
rectangle
A quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent, parallel sides and four right angles.
variable
A quantity that changes or can have different values. A symbol, usually a letter, that can stand for a quantity.
dividend
A quantity to be divided.
unit rate
A rate with a denominator of 1.
rate
A ratio comparing two different units.
percent
A special ratio that compares a number to 100 using the symbol %.
equation
A statement that two mathematical expressions are equal.
isosceles triangle
A triangle that has at least two congruent sides.
scalene triangle
A triangle that has no congruent sides.
equilateral triangle
A triangle whose sides are all the same length.
independent variable
A variable in a mathematical equation whose value determines that of a dependent variable.
expression
A variable or combination of variables, numbers, and symbols that represents a mathematical relationship.
fraction
A way of representing part of a whole or part of a group by telling the number of equal parts in the whole and the number of parts you are describing.
common denominator
For two or more fractions, a common denominator is a common multiple of the denominators.
greatest common factor
GCF. The largest factor of two or more numbers.
opposite
Having a different sign but the same numeral.
dependent variable
In a function, a variable whose value is determined by the value of the related independent variable.
least common multiple
LCM. The smallest common multiple of a set of two or more numbers.
less than
Less than is used to compare two numbers when the first number is smaller than the second number.
Order of Operations
Rules describing what sequence to use in evaluating expressions.
difference
The amount that remains after one quantity is subtracted from another.
range
The difference between the greatest number and the least number in a set of numbers.
absolute value
The distance of a number from zero on the number line. Absolute value is always positive.
median
The middle number of a set of numbers when the numbers are arranged from least to greatest, or the mean of two middle numbers when the set has two middle numbers.
mean
The sum of a set of numbers divided by the number of elements in the set. (A type of average)
evaluate/simplify
To find the value of a mathematical expression.
reciprocals
Two numbers whose product is 1. Also called multiplicative inverses.
greater than
Used to compare two numbers when the first number is larger than the second number.
