Definition
| A mathematical statement of the equivalence of two quantities. Equivalence properties of equality includes reflexive (a=a), symmetric (if a=b, then b=a), and transitive (if a=b and b=c, then a=c) properties. A balanced equation will remain balanced if you add, subtract, multiply or divide (excluding division by zero) both sides by the same number. |

Term
|
Definition
| A general statement written in numbers, symbols, or words that describes how to determine any term in a pattern or relationship. Rules or generalizations may include both recursive and explicit notation. In the recursive form of pattern generalization, the rule focuses on the rate of change from one element to the next. Example: Next = Now + 2; Next = Now x 4. In the explicit form of pattern generalization, the formula or rule is related to the order of the terms in the sequence and focuses on the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. For example: y=5t - 3 Words may also be used to write a rule in recursive or explicit notation. Example: to find the total fee, multiply the total time with 3; take the previous number and add two to get the next number. |
