0/36
The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.
Pi
The branch of mathematics that deals with quantities and the relationships between them, usually described by equations.
Algebra
A solid three-dimensional object where each face is a polygon, and every pair of adjacent polygons share an edge.
Polyhedron
The amount of space an object takes up.
Volume
An equation in which the highest power of the variable is squared.
Quadratic Equation
The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number.
Square Root
A branch of mathematics dealing with the shape, relative arrangement, and size of figures.
Geometry
A mathematical notation used to represent very large or very small numbers. It is written as the product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10.
Scientific Notation
A mathematical operation where an integer is divided by another integer to produce an integer quotient and possibly a remainder.
Division
A number that cannot be exactly expressed as a ratio of two integers.
Irrational Number
The perimeter of geometric figures or the total length around a path.
Circumference
The lowest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
Least Common Multiple
The opposites of the numbers we usually think of, which are greater than zero. This type includes both negative numbers and zero.
Non-Positive Numbers
A mathematical statement that two expressions are equal.
Equation
A mathematical statement composed of algebraic and/or numerical expressions set apart by an inequality symbol.
Inequality
A set of non-negative whole numbers that are commonly used for counting.
Natural Numbers
The graphical representation of data where the data is represented by symbols such as bars in a chart, lines in a graph, or slices in a pie.
Data Visualization
This kind of number can be represented as the quotient of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.
Rational Number
The result when one number is subtracted from another.
Difference
A geometrical solid with six congruent square faces.
Cube
A collection of elements that can be numbers, symbols, or sets that are grouped together in a prescribed order.
Sequence
A special relationship where each input has a single output. It is often written as an equation in which is an independent variable and is a dependent variable.
Function
An arithmetic operation that combines two numbers to make a larger number.
Addition
An arithmetic operation that calculates the total number of objects when objects are arranged in rows and columns.
Multiplication
A special number that, when used in a multiplication problem, doesn't change the value of the other number.
Identity Element for Multiplication
The likelihood of an event occurring, measured on a scale from 0 to 1.
Probability
A mathematical symbol or group of symbols representing a quantity or an operation.
Expression
The relationship between two variables where one is a constant multiple of the other.
Direct Proportion
The largest number that divides two or more numbers without leaving a remainder.
Greatest Common Divisor
A number that is added to another number.
Addend
A quantity with both magnitude and direction.
Vector
The sum of a collection of numbers divided by the count of numbers in the collection.
Average
The measure of the amount of two-dimensional space inside the perimeter of a flat (2D) shape.
Area
A mathematical abstraction that deals with quantities, and their operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Number Theory
The point at which a graph intersects the axes of a coordinate system.
Axis Intercept
A symbol used in mathematics to indicate addition, such as the plus sign (+).
Additive Operator
