3. Learning Targets
EQ: What vocabulary words will we learn during
Unit 2?
Today I will receive vocabulary words and
definitions for Unit 2 because this will allow me to
speak and understand the language of the
standards.
I can:
Define one vocabulary word using my own terms.
4. Variable: A letter or
symbol used to
represent a number.
Define
Memory Cue
X + 3= 10
5. Define
Solve: Identify the value
that when substituted
for the variable makes
the equation a
true statement.
Memory Cue
X + 6 = 16
- 6 - 6
x = 10
6. Define
One Step equation:
equations that can be
solved in one step
Memory Cue
x + 3= 10
-3 = -3
x = 7
7. Define
Two Step equation:
equations that can be
solved in two steps
Memory Cue
7x + 3= 10
- 3 = -3
7x = 7
7 7
x = 1
8. Define
Distributive Property:
The distributive property
lets you multiply a sum
by multiplying each
addend separately and
then add the products
Memory Cue
9. Term: Parts of an
expression or
equation separated
by +, =, or – signs
Define
Memory Cue
3x + 6x – 2 = 75
10. Define
Solution - the set of all
values which, when
substituted for
unknowns, make an
equation true.
Memory Cue
x2 = 16
x= 4 or x=-4
11. Define
Like Terms: Monomials
that have the same
variable raised to the
same power. Only
the coefficients of like
terms can be different.
Memory Cue
3x + 6x – 2 = 75
12. Infinitely many
solutions: This occurs
when expressions on
both sides of the
equation are the
same.
Define
Memory Cue
-18a + 3 = 3 – 18a
13. Define
Algebraic Expression: A
mathematical phrase involving
at least one variable.
Expressions can contain
numbers and operation
symbols.
Memory Cue
4x+10
14. Inverse Operation: Pairs of
operations that undo each
other, for example, addition
and subtraction are inverse
operations and multiplication
and division are inverse
operations.
Define
Memory Cue
+6
-6
0
3x
3
19. Linear Equation in One
Variable: An equation
that can be written in
the form
ax + b = c where a, b,
and c are real numbers
and a ≠ 0
Define
Memory Cue
6x + 9 = 19 – 7x
20. Define
Addition Property of Equality:
For real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b,
then a + c = b + c.
In other words, adding the same
number to each side of an equation
produces an
equivalent equation.
Memory Cue
x + 19 = 19 + x
21. Additive Inverses: Two
numbers whose sum is 0
are additive inverses of
one another.
Define
Memory Cue
3/4 and – 3/4 are
additive inverses of one
another because 3/4 +
(– 3/4) =
(– 3/4) + 3/4 = 0.
22. Define
Exponent: The number of
times a base is used as a
factor of repeated
multiplication.
Memory Cue
x2
23. Define
Memory Cue

8.9876098………………
Irrational: A real number
whose decimal form is
non-terminating and non-repeating
that cannot be written as
the ratio of two integers
24. Define
Memory Cue
16
1/2
8.98989898…
8
Rational: A number that
can be written as the ratio
of two integers with a
nonzero
denominator.
25. Define
Memory Cue
5.86 x 10
Scientific Notation: A
representation of real numbers
as the product of a number
between 1 and 10 and a power
of 10, used primarily for very
large or very small
numbers.
26. Define
Perfect Square: A number that
has a rational number as its
square root.
Memory Cue
16 100
-9 36
27. Define
Square Root: One of two
equal factors of a
nonnegative number.
Memory Cue
For example, 5 is a
square root of 25 because 5 • 5 = 25.
Another square root of 25 is -5
because
(-5) • (-5) = 25.
The +5 is called the principle square
root of 25 and is always
assumed when the radical symbol (√)
is used.
