Answers
Box plot Ans: a way of graphically depicting groups of
numerical data through their quartiles
consecutive numbers Ans: numbers in counting order
Data Ans: a collection of facts, such as numbers, words,
measurements, observations or even just descriptions of things
Dot plot Ans: a graphical display of data using dots
Function Ans: a special relationship where each input has a
single output. It is often written as "f(x)" where x is the input
value
Graph Ans: a diagram that shows a relationship among
numbers
Histogram Ans: a graphical representation of the distribution of
numerical data
Mean Ans: the sum of a set of numbers divided by the number
of numbers in a set (AKA average)
Median Ans: a number in the middle of a set of numbers, or the
mean of the two middle numbers in a set
Mode Ans: The mode of a set of numbers is the one that occurs
most often. So, in the set {1,5,7,5,9}, the mode is 5 because
there are 2 fives and only one of each of the others.

Permutation Ans: relates to the act of rearranging, or
permuting, all the members of a set into some sequence or
order (unlike combinations, which are selections of some
members of the set where order is disregarded)
Probability Ans: the chance of an event happening, usually
expressed as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to
the total number of outcomes
Proportion Ans: a statement that two ratios (or fractions) are
equal
Scientific notation Ans: a number written as the product of a
number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10
Unit rate Ans: describes how many units of the first type of
quantity corresponds to one unit of the second type of quantity.
Some common unit rates are miles (or kilometers) per hour,
cost per item, earnings per week, etc.
Ratio Ans: comparison between two numbers. Separated by a
colon (:), the word "to", or may be written in fraction form.
Cross Products Ans: The product of the numbers which are
diagonal from one another in a proportion equation. Should be
equal on both sides.
Common denominator Ans: for a set of fractions, a number into
which each denominator can divide evenly
Denominator Ans: the bottom number in a fraction
Difference Ans: the answer to a subtraction problem

Digit Ans: one of the ten number symbols. The digits are 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Equation Ans: a statement that two amounts are equal
Estimate Ans: as a noun: an approximate value.
as a verb: to find an approximate value.
Fraction Ans: a part of a whole
Greatest common factor Ans: the greatest factor that divides
two numbers
Improper fraction Ans: a fraction in which the numerator is
greater than or equal to the denominator
Least common multiple Ans: the smallest positive number that
is a multiple of two or more numbers.
Example: the Least Common Multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, because
15 is a multiple of 3 and also a multiple of 5. Other common
multiples include 30 and 45, etc, but they are not the smallest
(least).
Mixed number Ans: a number with both a whole number and a
fraction
Numerator Ans: the top number in a fraction
Product Ans: the answer to a multiplication problem
