Block D (Day 1)
Math 9
A

Algebraic equations

Equations that have a variable in the question that you need to solve.

I learned that in algebraic equations that you can reverse the question to
figure out the variable.

Ex: 3x + 7 = 16
B

BFSD – Brackets, Fractions, Solve, and Divide (Best friends share deserts)

Shows the order of solving an equation

I learned that this is an easy way to remember how to find the answer
quickly.
C

Chord

A line segment on the interior of a circle. A chord has both endpoints on
circumference the circle.

I learned a chord can be any line anywhere in the interior of a circle as long
as it is touching the circumference in two places
D

Distribute

To multipy out the parts of an expression.

Distributing is the opposite of factoring.

I learned distributing is an easier way to see the question if you are confused

Ex: 3(2+7)=3x2+3x7
E

Equations

A mathematical sentence built from expressions using one or more equal signs
(=).

Ex: 78 + 3 = 81
F

Flip

Changing the sign of a number by making it the opposite.

I learned that you can flip the sign of the numbers to be sure that the
variable is positive.
G

Greater than

When a number is bigger in value than the one it is being compared to

I learned that you can only have a number that is bigger in value on the right

Ex: 8<9
H

Height of a prism

A line segment on the interior of a circle. A chord has both endpoints on the
circle.

I learned that knowing the height of the prism can help you find the surface
area because it is connected to all the sides
I

Isosceles

A triangle with two sides that are the same length

I learned that isosceles have two sides that are the same and that if you cut
them in half, you get a right triangle with 90⁰
J

Just add the exponents

In the multiplication law of exponents: when the bases are the same, you just
add the exponents

I learned a short cut with multiplying exponents, when you have two o the
same bases, you just add the exponents

Ex: 2⁵ x 2³ = 2⁸
K

Know your angles

Knowing your angles helps you when you have to name the angle or to figure
out the degrees of the angle.

I learned knowing angles helps you get stuff done faster.

Ex: A right angle is 90⁰, if you automatically know it, you don’t have to
measure it.
L

Length

The measurement or extent of something from end to end; the greater of two
or the greatest of three dimensions of a body.

I learned that the length is perpendicular to the height, and that you need
the length to find the surface area
M

Monomial

A polynomial with one term

I learned that you don’t need more than one variable, number or exponent to
make it a polynomial.

Ex: 5x³
N

Numerator

The top part of a fraction

I learned that you can divide the denominator by the numerator.

Ex: ³/₆ -> 3 is the numerator
O

Obtuse triangle

A triangle in which has an obtuse angle as one of its interior angles

Ex:
P

Power

The result of raising a base to an exponent

I learned that you can make the number look simpler and making a power is
linked to multiplication

Ex: 8 is a power to 2 -> 2³
Q

Quotient

The result of dividing two numbers or two expressions

I learned that if you have one quotient and multiply it by 2, you get the
original number

Ex: 40 divided by 2 = 20, 20 is the quotient
R

Ratio

The result of dividing one number or expression by another.

Occasionaly, ratios are a proportion 4:7 (Four to seven). M

Mostly they are fractions

Ex: 2:3 (Two to three)
S

Simplify

By adding number that are the same or creating zero pairs to shorten the
equation.

I learned that simplifing a question makes it easier to solve

Ex: 3x + 7 = 8x – 7

(3x + 8x = 11x) (+7 -7 = 0)

= 11x
T

Tangent

A line tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius to the point of
tangency.
U

Expanding using the distributive property

Ex: (2x) (3x-1)

2x (3x) + 2x (-1)
V

Variable

A variable is a letter used to replace the unknown number in an equation.

I learned how to find the number of the variable

Ex: 3 r + 7 = 5 r – 4
W

Width

the measurement or extent of something from side to side
X

X axis

The X axis is perpindicular to the Y axis, it is used in graphing charts to
identify the horizontal line
Y

Y axis

The Y axis is the line in a graphing chart that is vertical
Z

Zero pairs

When you have 2 numbers on each side of the equal sign which cancel each
other out.

I learned that making zero pairs makes the question easier and shorter.
