Study Notes

Key Terms in Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Difference: Outcome of a subtraction problem.
Distributive Property: A mathematical principle where a single value multiplies two or more values within parentheses, represented as A(B+C) = AB + AC.
Products: Result of a multiplication problem.
Interpret: To explain or clarify the meaning of something.

Number Types

Integers: Whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero, and are not fractions.
Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction, where both the numerator and denominator are integers.

Algebraic Expressions

Linear Expressions: Algebraic statements where each term consists of a constant or a variable raised to the first power.
Coefficients: Numbers that precede and multiply variables in algebraic expressions, indicating the quantity of the variable.

Equation Concepts

Solution: A specific value that satisfies an equation, making it true.
Operations: Fundamental mathematical actions, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Inequalities

Inequality: A relation involving two expressions that are not equal, denoted by symbols such as < (less than) and > (greater than).
