The distance around a figure on a flat surface.
What is the Perimeter?
100
The average, of several numbers is one way of defining the “middle” of the numbers.
What is Mean?
100
The horizontal number line on a coordinate graph.
What is the x-axis?
100
The specific order in which certain operations are to be carried out to evaluate or simplify expressions: parentheses (or other grouping symbols), exponents (powers or roots), multiplication and division (from left to right), and addition and subtraction (from left to right).
What is Order of Operations?
200
The set of numbers {…, –3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …}
What are Integers?
200
For a quadrilateral, this is found by length x width.
What is Area?
200
The middle number of an ordered set of data.
What is the Median?
200
Two numbers written in order as follows: (x, y).
What is an Ordered Pair?
200
This property states that when adding three or more numbers or terms together, grouping is not important. That is:
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
For example, (5 + 2) + 6 = 5 + (2 + 6)
What is the Associative Property of Addition?
300
This simplifies an expression by summing constants and summing those variable terms in which the same variables are raised to the same power.
What is Combining Like Terms?

An equation stating that two ratios (fractions) are equal.
What is a Proportion?
400
The coordinate plane is divided by its axes into four of these.
What are Quadrants?
400
When one quantity depends for its value on one or more others. it appears as the output value in an x → y table, and is usually placed relative to the vertical axis of a graph.
What is the Dependent Variable?
400
The number you need to add to a given number to get a sum of 0. For example,−3 + 3 = 0. It is also called the opposite.
What is Additive Inverse?

Who is Zora?
500
When one quantity changes in a way that does not depend on the value of another quantity. It appears as the input value in an x → y table, and is usually placed relative to the horizontal axis of a graph.
What is the Independent Variable?

; for the number 
it is 
.
