Context Clues

Context clues provide the meaning of unfamiliar words within a sentence.
A synonym is another word with a similar meaning.
An antonym is a word with the opposite meaning.
Examples illustrate the meaning of an unfamiliar word.
General clues are non-specific hints throughout a text.

Drawing Conclusions and Making Inferences

To draw conclusions and make inferences, consider a video or picture, then determine what might happen next.

Verb Forms/Tenses

Base form: Original form of a verb.
Past form: Past tense of the base form.
Past participle: Same as the past form.
Present participle: Same as the base form.

Algebraic Expressions

Algebraic expressions are combinations of numbers, variables, and/or both.
Variables: x and y
Exponents: 2 and 3
Coefficient of 4x²y³ : 4

Degree of a Polynomial

The degree of a polynomial is the highest sum of exponents in the given expression.
Example 1: -5g² - 34h Degree = 2
Example 2: 43 + q - 7r³s⁴ Degree = 7
Example 3: 11x³y²z⁵ - 4a²b⁷c - 81 - 7c³d⁴ Degree = 10

Addition and Subtraction of Algebraic Expressions

Place given expressions in parentheses and align them.
Use the bottom operation.
