Points to the right of 0 are positive; those to the left are negative. Ordered pair – a pair of numbers in parentheses, an x-coordinate followed by a y- coordinate; that names a point on the coordinate grid.</p><p>Ordering – arranging a set of integers, fractions or decimals from least to greatest or greatest to least.</p><p>Origin – the point of intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis in the coordinate plane.</p><p>Parallel lines – two lines on the same plane that do not intersect.</p><p>Perpendicular – two lines that intersect, forming adjacent right angles.</p><p>Plane – a set of points that forms a flat line.</p><p>Point – single, exact location often represented by a dot.</p><p>Positive number – a number to the right of zero on a number line, sometimes preceded by a plus sign; a number greater that 0 in value; used to show an increase, a gain or upward direction.</p><p>Principal – an amount of money borrowed or invested.</p><p>Probability – a number that shows how likely it is that an event will happen.</p><p>Product – the answer in a multiplication problem.</p><p>Proportion – an equation that states that two ratios are equal.</p><p>Quadrant – one-fourth of a coordinate grid, formed by the intersecting axes.</p><p>Quotient – the answer in a division problem.</p><p>Ray – apart of a line having only one endpoint.</p><p>Scale – relationship between two sets of measurements.</p><p>Scientific notation – a way of writing very large numbers and very small fractions, in which the numbers are expressed as the product of a number between q and 10 and the power of 10.</p><p>Signed numbers – positive and negative numbers, used to show quantity, distance, and direction.</p><p>Table – information arranged in columns and rows.</p><p>Unit rate –a ratio with a denominator of 1. </p>
