1. Learn Math Words
A glossary of important
mathematical words.

2. Glossary
Summary Activity
a. Prepares learners to apply learning by having them
rehearse needed information
b. Prepares learners to teach or inform others
c. Encourages reflection and review of particular areas of
learning
The following slide will help you learn
and review the definitions of algebraic
(math) words used in describing curves
lines, points, and solving story problems

formula trinomial

4. expression
• The sum and difference of algebraic terms
• Example 2xy + 3y – 6x + 5

5. binomial
• The sum or difference of two terms
• Example 4x + 5

6. denominator
• The term below the fraction bar
• Example 3
5 <- denominator

7. equation
• The equality between two expressions
• Example 4x +1 = 3x - 5

8. evaluate
• Replace a variable with a given value and
simplify
• Example 3x + 5, when x = 2
• 3(2) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

9. formula
• Equation with more than one variable
• Example A = lw

10. monomial
• One term
• Example 5x

11. numerator
• Top of the fraction bar
• Example 3  numerator
• 5

12. polynomial
• The sum or difference of many terms

13. quotient
• The result of dividing the divisor into the
dividend
• Example 10/2 = 5, 5 is the quotient

14. ratio
• A fraction of two values

15. trinomial
• The sum or difference of three terms
• Example 3xy + 5x - 4
