10. Key Vocabulary Algorithm – A set of rules for performing a procedure. Mathematicians invent algorithms that are useful in many kinds of situations. Some examples of algorithms are the rules for long division or the rules for adding two fractions. Example : To add two fractions, first change them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then add the numerators and put the sum over the common denominator.
