Refers to how much space is inside of three-dimentsional, closed containers [V= l x w x h].

Linear Function

Refers to the first-degree polynomial function of one variable. Sometime used to mean a first-degree polynomial function of variable.

Pictorial Graphs

Represent a transition from the real object graphs to symbolic graphs. Used in pre-k to 1st grade to teach graphs. [ex: using pictures of hotdogs and pizza to represent the number of children who prefer one food over the other].

Line Plot

Represents a set of data by showing how often a piece of data appears in that set.

Digital clocks

Represents the time using Arabic numbers seperating the hours from the miuntes with a colon [12:45], which makes it realatively easy to read.

Deductive Reasoning

Requires moving from the assumption to conclusion. It is the reasoning from general to the specific. Conclusions reached are only sound if the original assumptions are actually true.

Y on a graph

Second number listed in an ordered pair (x, y); represents the vertical point.

4 Developemental stages as stated by Piaget

Sensoimotor (birth-2 years) Preoperational (2 years-7 years) Concrete operational (7 years-11 years) Formal operational (11 years- adult)

Expanded Notation

Showing place value by multiplying each digit in a number by the approapriate power of 10. [523 = 5X100 + 2X10 + 3X1 OR 5X10² + 2X10¹ + 3X10⁰].

If 2 polygons are the same shape but different sizes, they are said to be what?

Similar

Diameter

Straight line segment that goes from one edge of a circle to the other side, passing through the center.

Preoperational stage of development include what processses

Symbolic functioning, centration, intuitive thought, egocentrism, inability to conserve.

Exponential Notation

Symbolic way of showing how many times a number or variable is used as a factor. In the notation 5³, the exponent 3 shows that 5 is a favor used three times (5X5X5).

4 standards for teaching mathematics

Tasks (projects, problems, questions) Discourse (Representing, thinking, talking, agreeing in those tasks) Environment (Setting for learning) Analysis (Systematic reflection in which teachers engage)

Celcius Scale

Temperature scale used for science experiments.

Describe children in the preoperational stage (2 yrs- 7 yrs) while learning math

Tend to fix their attention on a single aspect of a relationship. If they have two rows with equal amounts of quarters but they are spaced differently, they may think one holds more value. Their response is based on their own perception- not reasoning.

Characteristics of the formal operational stage focuses on what?

The ability to use symbols and to think abstractly.

Tessellations

The arrangement of polygons that form a grid. Patterns form by a repetition of a single unit or shape that, when repeated, fills the plane with no gaps and no overlaps.

Mean of a set of data

The average of the data values. To find it, add all the data values and then divide this sum by the number of values in the set.

Place Value

The basic foundation for understanding mathematic computation [Thousand, hundred, ten, one; 1984- 1000, 900, 80, 4].

Classification

The child can name and identify sets of objects according to appearance, size, or other charactheristics. Can arrange objects based on characteristics.

Seriation

The child is able to arrange objects in order according to size, shape, or any other attribute. Can arrange geometric forms by shape, size, color, and thikness of the form.

Conservation

The child understands that quantity, length, or number or items is unrelated to the arrangement or appearance of the object. Can discern that if water is transferred to a pitcher it will conserve the quantity and be equal to the other filled cup.

Symmetry

The correspondence in size, form, and arrangment of parts on opposite sides of a plane, line, or point.

Range of a set of data

The difference between the greateset and the least numbers in the data set. Subtract to find the difference.

Perimeter of a two-dimensional shape or object

The distance around the object. Measured in linear units (feet, inches, meters).

Equilateral Triangle

The meausres of all sides of the triangle are equal (all angles will be equal as well).

Median of a set of data

The middle value of all the numbers. To find the middle value, list the numbers in order from the least to greatest or from greatest to least. If there are two values in the middle, find the number halfway between the two values by adding them together and dividing their sum by 2.

How do you divide decimals?

The number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the divisor is how far the decimal point in the answer (quotient) should be moved to the right.

Absolute Value

The number's distance from zero on the number line. This action ignores the + or - sign of a number. |x| is the graphic used to describe this action [|-5| = 5].

Coefficient

The numbers that precede the variable to give the quantity of the variable in teh expression.

Commutative Property

The order of addends or factors do not change the result [a+b=b+a; a x b = b x a].

Associative Property of Multiplication and Addition

The order of the addends or product will not change the sum or the product [(a+b)+c=a+(b+c); (a x b) x c=a x (b x c)].

Algebraic Solution

The process of solving a mathematical problem using the principle of algebra

Subtraction

The process/operation of removing objects from a larger group, or finding parts of a whole.

Statistics

The science or study of data. Methods are used to describe, analyze, evaluate, and interpret information. The information is used for predicting, drawing inferences, and making decisions.

Sample Space

The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.

Property of Zero

The sum of a number and zero is the number itself, and the product of a number and zero is zero [8+0=8; 8x0=0].

Slope-Intercept equation

f(x) = mx + b M and B are real constants and X is a real variable.

Perimeter of a Square

found by multiplying four times the measure of a side of the square [P = 4s → s is the measure of the side].

What do the letters represent in a linear function equation (y=mx+b).

m = slope b = y-intercept

Solve: 3 + 2 x 6 = n

n=15 2x6=12+3=15

Linear function equation

y= mx + b. Or f(x) = mx + b (function form).
