integer[edit | edit source]

  • a whole number, either positive, negative or zero

distributive property[edit | edit source]

  • in multiplication:
  • a(b+c)=ab+ac

associative property

  • in multiplication
  • (a x b) x c = a x (c x b)

rational number[edit | edit source]

  • can be solved

Geometry[edit | edit source]

Shapes[edit | edit source]

types of shapes[edit | edit source]

circle

square

ectangle

triangle

rhombus

trapezoid

parallelogram

angles and sides[edit | edit source]

quadrilateral

parallel

symmetry

  • line of symmetry divides a shape into equal parts
  • ex.
    • Square: A square has four lines of symmetry – one horizontal, one vertical, and two diagonal lines.
    • Circle: A circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry, as any diameter passing through the center divides the circle into two equal halves.
    • Rectangle: A rectangle has two lines of symmetry – one horizontal and one vertical.
    • Equilateral Triangle: An equilateral triangle has three lines of symmetry – one for each median.
