The Alphabet of Math Gurpreet S. Chopra
3
“A” is for Angle An angle is the amount of turn between two straight lines that have a common vertex. Usually measured in degrees.
4
“B” is for Bar Graph A diagram In which the numerical values of variables are represented by the height or length of lines or rectangles of equal width.
5
“C” is for Cube A symmetrical three- dimensional shape contained by six equal squares. It is equal from all sides.
6
“D” is for Degrees A unit of measurement of angles
7
“E” is for Exponent The exponent of a number shows you how many times the number is to be used in a multiplication. It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number.
8
“F” is for Fraction Part of a whole. A number written with the bottom part (the denominator) telling you how many parts the whole is divided into, and the top part (the numerator) telling how many you have.
9
“G” is for Graph A diagram showing the relation between typically two variable quantities, each measured along one of a pair of axes at right angles.
10
“H” is for Hexagon A plane figure with six straight sides and angles.
11
“I” is for Integer A number with no fractional part.
12
“J” is for Japanese Numerals The system of Japanese numerals is the system of number names used in the Japanese language.
13
“K” is for Kilograms A unit of mass equal to 1000 grams
14
“L” is for Litres A metric unit of capacity, formerly defined as the volume of 1 kilogram of water under standard conditions
15
“M” is for Mode The mode is the value that occurs the most frequently in a data set
16
“N” is for Numerator The top number in a fraction. Shows how many parts we have.
17
“O” is for Octagon An 8-sided polygon (a flat shape with straight sides).
18
“P” is for Prism A solid object that has two identical ends and all flat sides. The cross section is the same all along its length. The shape of the ends give the prism a name.
19
“Q” is for Quotient The answer after you divide one number by another. dividend ÷ divisor = quotient
20
“R” is for Ratio A ratio shows the relative sizes of two or more values.
21
“S” is for Sum The result of adding two or more numbers.
22
“T” is for Table Numbers or quantities arranged in rows and columns
23
“U” is for Units It shows how many ones and how many single items. Used to show the "ones" place value
24
“V” is for Volume The amount of 3- dimensional space an object occupies.
25
“W” is for Weight "Heaviness". The downward force caused by gravity on an object.
26
“X” is for X-Axis The line on a graph that runs horizontally (left- right) through zero. It is used as a reference line so you can measure from it.
27
“Y” is for Y-Axis The line on a graph that runs vertically (up-down) through zero. It is used as a reference line so you can measure from it.
28
“Z” is for Zero The whole number between -1 and 1, with the symbol 0. Shows that there is no amount.
