Correct!!
common ratio - Answer The amount each consecutive term is multiplied by in a
geometric sequence.
pattern - Answer A set of numbers or shapes arranged according to a rule.
addition - Answer Finding the total of two or more values.
sequence - Answer Numbers or shapes in a particular order.
difference - Answer The result of one number being subtracted from another
number.
odd number - Answer An integer that is not even; any integers not divisible by 2.
arithmetic pattern - Answer A set of numbers with a constant difference between
consecutive terms.
term - Answer An individual number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied
together in an expression, separated by addition, +, subtraction, -, or division ÷ signs.
Numbers or variables separated by an operation symbol or equal sign.
operation - Answer A mathematical calculation or process. The most common are
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
geometric pattern - Answer A set of shapes with a repetitive order, also known as a
shape pattern.
subtraction - Answer Finding the difference between values.
multiplication - Answer An operation performed on two numbers that results in a
product. This operation is often denoted by the dot sign, ·.
set - Answer A collection of things. In the context of math, these are usually
collections of numbers.
even number - Answer An integer that is divisible by 2.
negative number - Answer A number whose value is less than zero. On the number
line, these numbers are to the left of zero.
consecutive term - Answer A term in a pattern or sequence that immediately follows
another term with no gaps between them.
ellipsis - Answer A symbol made up of three dots (...) that is used at the end of a
sequence to indicate that the sequence is infinite, or goes on forever. Used in the
middle of a sequence, it indicates continuing.

Correct!!
shape pattern - Answer A set of shapes with a repetitive order, also known as a
geometric pattern.
positive number - Answer A number whose value is greater than zero. On the
number line, these numbers are to the right of zero.
Unlike Term - Answer A term that does not have the same variable(s) with the same
exponent(s) as another term. The terms cannot be combined using addition or
subtraction.
Exponent - Answer Sometimes called a power, it is a number that shows how many
times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, the 3 in 8^3.
Factoring - Answer In algebra, breaking an expression into its factors. These factors
can be multiplied together, producing the original expression.
Constant - Answer A value that is known and unchanging.
Order of operations - Answer A set of rules that defines the order in which
mathematical operations should be performed.
Combine like terms - Answer Combining terms that have the same variable
component. Combining like terms helps to consolidate when solving an equation.
Degree - Answer The largest exponent in an expression.
Inverse Operation - Answer An operation that undoes another operation.
Distributive Property - Answer A mathematical principle used to multiply one term by
multiple terms. This principle is employed when there are parentheses around
multiple terms, which are in turn multiplied by a single term.
Algebraic Expression - Answer A string of terms that are connected by division,
addition, and subtraction operations.
Substitution - Answer When a variable is plugged back into the equation for the
chosen variable and solved.
Equation - Answer Two mathematical expressions separated by the equals sign, =.
The two expressions on either side of the equals sign hold the same value as one
another.
Perimeter - Answer The sum of the lengths of the sides of a two-dimensional figure.
Quotient - Answer The result of division.
