Term
Mathematics
Definition
she teaches math and science
Term
Rotation
Definition
A transformation in which a plane figure turns around a fixed center point. In other words, one point on the plane, the center of rotation, is fixed and everything else on the plane rotates about that point by a given angle.
Term
Mean
Definition
The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the numbers and then divide by the number of numbers. The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers
Term
Median
Definition
To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number. Example: find the Median of {13, 23, 11, 16, 15, 10, 26}. Put them in order: {10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 23, 26} The middle number is 15, so the median is 15. (If there are two middle numbers, you average them.)
Term
Mode
Definition
The score which occurs most often is 18. This problem really asked us to find the mode of a set of 7 numbers. Definition: The mode of a set of data is the value in the set that occurs most often.
Term
Range
Definition
The range of a set of data is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the set. To find the range, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.
Term
Translation
Definition
Translation is a rigid motion, meaning an object changes its position but not its size or shape. In a translation, an object is moved in a given direction for a particular distance.
Term
Reflection
Definition
A transformation in which a geometric figure is reflected across a line, creating a mirror image. That line is called the axis of reflection.
Term
Varialble
Definition
not consistent or having a fixed pattern; liable to change.
Term
Exponent
Definition
a quantity representing the power to which a given number or expression is to be raised, usually expressed as a raised symbol beside the number or expression
Term
Sphere
Definition
a round solid figure, or its surface, with every point on its surface equidistant from its center.
Term
Cylinder
Definition
a solid geometric figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section.
Term
Pyramid
Definition
an object, shape, or arrangement in the form of a pyramid
Term
Prism
Definition
a solid geometric figure whose two end faces are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.
Term
Cone
Definition
A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base to a point called the apex or vertex.
