The branch of mathematics that deals with quantities and the relationships between them, usually described by equations.
Algebra
A quantity with both magnitude and direction.
Vector
A mathematical statement that two expressions are equal.
Equation
The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number.
Square Root
The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159.
Pi
A set of non-negative whole numbers that are commonly used for counting.
Natural Numbers
A mathematical operation where an integer is divided by another integer to produce an integer quotient and possibly a remainder.
Division
The point at which a graph intersects the axes of a coordinate system.
Axis Intercept
This kind of number can be represented as the quotient of two integers, where the denominator is not zero.
Rational Number
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
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 result when one number is subtracted from another.
Difference
A branch of mathematics dealing with the shape, relative arrangement, and size of figures.
Geometry
The sum of a collection of numbers divided by the count of numbers in the collection.
Average
The largest number that divides two or more numbers without leaving a remainder.
Greatest Common Divisor
The lowest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.
Least Common Multiple
The amount of space an object takes up.
Volume
The measure of the amount of two-dimensional space inside the perimeter of a flat (2D) shape.
Area
A number that is added to another number.
Addend
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 geometrical solid with six congruent square faces.
Cube
A mathematical statement composed of algebraic and/or numerical expressions set apart by an inequality symbol.
Inequality
The likelihood of an event occurring, measured on a scale from 0 to 1.
Probability
A mathematical abstraction that deals with quantities, and their operations, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Number Theory
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
An equation in which the highest power of the variable is squared.
Quadratic Equation
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
A symbol used in mathematics to indicate addition, such as the plus sign (+).
Additive Operator
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
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
A solid three-dimensional object where each face is a polygon, and every pair of adjacent polygons share an edge.
Polyhedron
