**Vocabulary that has been covered this year is noted in red.**

 

Order of Operations (PEMDAS) – set of rules that states which operations to solve first in expressions and equations. 

Expression - Numbers, symbols and operators (such as + and ×) grouped together that show the value of something.

Equation - An equation says that two things are the same, using mathematical symbols and  an equal sign (=) is used. 

Grouping symbols – Parenthesis ( ), Brackets [ ], and braces { } are used to group operations within expressions and equations. 

Multiple-  4, 6, and 12 are multiples of 2.

Factor-numbers that you multiply together to get another number

Sum- the result of an addition equation

Difference- the result of a subtraction equation

Product- the result of a multiplication equation

Quotient- the result of a division equation
