6th Grade Math Vocabulary

Page 2: 6th grade math vocab

Acute Angle

• An angle whose measure is between 0° and 90°.

Page 3: 6th grade math vocab

Area• The amount of

surface inside a closed area.

Page 4: 6th grade math vocab

Capacity

• The maximum amount or number that can be received or contained; cubic contents; volume: – The bleachers are filled to

capacity. – The gasoline tank has a

capacity of 20 gallons.

Page 5: 6th grade math vocab

Common Denominator

• A common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.

Page 6: 6th grade math vocab

Complementary Angle

• Two Angles are Complementary if they add up to 90 degrees (a Right Angle).

Page 7: 6th grade math vocab

Composite Number• A Composite Number can be divided evenly by numbers other

than 1 or itself.– Example: 9 can be divided evenly by 1, 3 and 9.– Example: 10 can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 5, and 10.– All even numbers except 2 are composite numbers.

Page 8: 6th grade math vocab

Congruent• Exactly equal in size and shape. • Congruent sides or segments have the exact same length. • Congruent angles have the exact same measure.

     

These triangles are congruent. Corresponding sides and angles are congruent.

Page 9: 6th grade math vocab

Diameter

• any straight line segment that passes through the center of a circle and whose endpoints are on the circle.

Page 10: 6th grade math vocab

Difference

• the answer to a subtraction problem.

The difference between 9 and 2 is 7.

Page 11: 6th grade math vocab

Exponents

• A small raised number used in exponential notation to tell how many times a base is used as a factor.

Page 12: 6th grade math vocab

Factors

• Whenever 2 or more numbers are multiplied to give a product, each of the numbers multiplied is called a factor.

Page 13: 6th grade math vocab

Graph

Page 14: 6th grade math vocab

Horizontal

• parallel to level ground; flat or level.

The pink line is horizontal.

Page 15: 6th grade math vocab

Integers

• All positive and negative numbers as well as zero.

Page 16: 6th grade math vocab

Interior Angles

• an angle inside a shape.

Page 17: 6th grade math vocab

Isosceles Triangle

• A triangle with at least two side equal in length.

Page 18: 6th grade math vocab

Lowest Terms

• A fraction that cannot be reduced.• Also known as “simplest form”.

Page 19: 6th grade math vocab

Mean

• the average of the numbers.

Example 1: What is the Mean of these numbers?

6, 11, 7

• Add the numbers: 6 + 11 + 7 = 24 • Divide by how many numbers (there are 3 numbers): 24 / 3 = 8

The Mean is 8

Page 20: 6th grade math vocab

Median

• The middle number in a set of numbers when the numbers are listed in order from smallest to largest.To find the Median, place the numbers you are given in value order and find the middle number.

Example: Find the Median of {12, 3 and 5}

Put them in order: 3, 5, 12The middle number is 5, so the median is 5.

Example:There are fifteen numbers. Our middle number will be the eighth number:

3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 21, 23, 23, 23, 23, 29, 39, 40, 56

The median value of this set of numbers is 23.

Metric Units

Page 22: 6th grade math vocab

Mode• The number that occurs most often in a set of

numbers.To find the mode, or modal value, first put the numbers in order, then count how many of each number.

Example:3, 7, 5, 13, 20, 23, 39, 23, 40, 23, 14, 12, 56, 23, 29

In order these numbers are:

3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 20, 23, 23, 23, 23, 29, 39, 40, 56

This makes it easy to see which numbers appear most often.

In this case the mode is 23.

Obtuse Angle

• An angle that is more than 90°.

Page 25: 6th grade math vocab

Ordered Pair

Page 26: 6th grade math vocab

Parallel

• Lines are parallel if they are always the same distance apart (called "equidistant"), and will never meet.

Page 27: 6th grade math vocab

Percent--%

• Per hundred or out of a hundred.

And 25% means 25 per 100(25% of this box is green)

50% means 50 per 100(25% of this box is green)

Page 28: 6th grade math vocab

Perimeter

• The distance around the outside of a two-dimensional shape.

The out-of bounds line forms the perimeter of a basketball court.

Page 29: 6th grade math vocab

Perpendicular Lines

• Lines that meet to form a right angle.

Page 30: 6th grade math vocab

Polygon

• A shape that is made up of 3 or more straight line segments joined end to end to make one closed path.

Page 31: 6th grade math vocab

Prime Number• A Prime Number can be divided evenly only by 1 or

itself.– 2 is the only even number that is Prime.

Yellow indicates Prime Numbers

Page 32: 6th grade math vocab

Product

• The answer of a multiplication problem.

2 x 6 = 12The product of 2 times 6 is 12.

Page 33: 6th grade math vocab

Quotient

• The answer to a division problem.

Page 34: 6th grade math vocab
