2 Axis: fixed reference line for the measurement of coordinates. Axis Module(s): 6 horizontal number line: x-axis vertical number line: y-axis lines at the bottom and sides of graph Base: one face of a three-dimensional solid, often thought of as the surface on which the solid rests. M. Pluchino Base face of a solid side where object rests Module(s): 5 K. Page Page 1

3 Benchmark fraction: common fractions that you can judge other numbers against. Benchmark fraction common fraction used to compare others to Module(s): 3 Bisect: divide into two equal parts. K. White Bisect divide or split 2 equal parts Module(s): 5 K. Page Page 2

4 Conversion factor: the factor in a multiplication sentence that renames one measurement unit as another equivalent unit. Conversion factor makes equivalent units Module(s): 2 Coordinate: number that identifies a point on a plane. K. Connolly Coordinate on number line position of a point describes distance from 0 (zero) Module(s): 6 M. Pluchino Page 3

5 Coordinate pair: two number that are used to identify a point on a plane. Coordinate pair Module(s): 6 written as (x,y) x is first coordinate y is second coordinate parenthesis used as part of the written form M. Pluchino Coordinate plane: plane spanned by the x-axis and y-axis in which the coordinates of a point are distances from the two perpendicular axis. Coordinate plane Module(s): 6 formed by two intersecting number lines horizontal number line (x-axis) vertical number line (y-axis) origin is where the two lines intersect M. Pluchino Page 4

6 Cubic units: cubes of the same size used for measuring volume. Cubic units a unit for measuring volume in the metric system Module(s): 5 A. Borsuk Decimal divisor: the number that divides the whole and has units of tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. Decimal divisor Module(s): 4 decimal number being divided into another number A retailer has 800 units of goods to sell. If one shipping box only holds 8.7 units, then how many customers can she ship her goods to? Round your quotient to the nearest whole number. A. Borsuk Page 5

7 Decimal fraction: a proper fraction whose denominator is a power of 10. Decimal fraction Module(s): 2 fraction denominator (the bottom number) is a power of ten (such as 10, 100, 1000, etc) Exponent: how many times a number is to be used in a multiplication sentence. A. Tuzzalo Exponent Module(s): 1 a symbol (number) that is written above and to the right of a base (number) to show how many times the base is to be multiplied by itself Mass of Earth K. Connolly Page 6

8 Height: adjacent layers of the base that form a rectangular prism. Height length from bottom to the top of a prism (object) Module(s): 5 Hierarchy: series of ordered groupings of shapes. K. White series of things grouped in order Hierarchy Module(s): 5 A. Borsuk Page 7

9 Like denominators: denominators in two or more fractions that are the same. Like denominators fractions same denominators we can add and subtract these fractions Module(s): 3 Millimeter: a metric unit of length equal to one-thousandth of a meter. A. Tuzzalo Millimeter (mm) measurement 1/1000 of a meter metric system Module(s): 1 K. Connolly Page 8

10 Multiplier: a quantity by which a given number a multiplicand is to be multiplied. Multiplier number multiplying by Module(s): 2 Ordered pair: two quantities written in a given fixed order. K. Page Ordered pair written (x,y) x-coordinate is first y-coordinate is second Module(s): 6 M. Pluchino Page 9

11 Origin: fixed point from which coordinates are measured; the point at which the x-axis and y-axis intersect, labeled (0, 0) on the coordinate plane. Origin the point where the x and y axis meet on a coordinate plane coordinates are (0, 0) Module(s): 6 Parentheses: symbols used to relate order of operations. A. Borsuk Parentheses symbol pair things together Module(s): 1 K. Schmitt Page 10

12 Quadrant: any of the four equal areas created by dividing a plane by an x-axis and y-axis. Quadrant Module(s): 6 any of the four sections on a plane created by the x and y axis numbered counterclockwise 1-4 with roman numerals Simplify: using the largest fractional unit possible to express an equivalent fraction. A. Tuzzalo Simplify lowest terms reduce Module(s): 4 S. Crangle Page 11

13 Thousandths: place value that is being one of a thousand equal parts. Thousandths place value three places to the right of the decimal Module(s): 1 Unit cube: cube whose sides all measure 1 unit; cubes of the same size used for measuring volume. K. White Unit cube cube all side lengths 1 unit used to measure volume (cubic units) Module(s): 5 P. Kopper Page 12

14 Unlike denominators: fractions with different denominators. Unlike denominators two fractions different bottom numbers (denominator) Module(s): 3 Volume of a solid: measurement of space or capacity. K. Connolly Volume of a solid measurement inside an object Module(s): 5 K. White Page 13
