ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION#1

A mathematical phrase that includes numbers, variables, and operations, e.g., 3x + 2.

EQUATION#2

A statement that two expressions are equal, often containing variables, e.g., 2x + 3 = 7.

VARIABLE#3

A symbol, often a letter, used to represent a number in expressions or equations.

SOLVING EQUATIONS#4

The process of finding the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS#5

Using algebra to solve practical problems encountered in everyday life.

CRITICAL THINKING#6

The ability to analyze and evaluate information to solve problems effectively.

PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT#7

Creating a collection of work that demonstrates understanding and skills in algebra.

SIMPLIFICATION#8

The process of reducing an expression to its simplest form.

COEFFICIENT#9

A numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression, e.g., in 3x, 3 is the coefficient.

CONSTANT#10

A fixed value that does not change, e.g., in 2x + 5, 5 is a constant.

FUNCTION#11

A relation where each input has exactly one output, often expressed as f(x).

LINEAR EQUATION#12

PERPENDICULAR LINES#15

Lines that intersect at a right angle (90 degrees).

GRAPHING#16

The process of plotting points or equations on a coordinate plane.

SLOPE#17

A measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as rise over run.

INTERCEPT#18

The point where a line crosses an axis on a graph, e.g., y-intercept.

PROPORTION#19

An equation stating that two ratios are equal, e.g., a/b = c/d.

RATIO#20

A comparison of two quantities, often expressed as a fraction.

EXPRESSION EVALUATION#21

The process of substituting values for variables in an expression and simplifying.
