³.) Sequence: An ordered set of objects or numbers. Set: Any group of items or numbers that are selected according to a well-defined rule. Significant Digit: In measurement, the significant digits tell how much of a measured value can be used with confidence. The most significant digit is the first non-zero digit in the number. Similarity: Figures that have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size. Corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional. Simple Interest: A fixed

Glossary Absolute Value: The distance <span class="highlight">of</span> <span class="highlight">a</span> <span class="highlight">number</span> from zero <span class="highlight">on</span> <span class="highlight">a</span> <span class="highlight">number</span> line. (|5| = 5 or |-7| = 7) Accuracy: In numerical computations, accuracy may mean the <span class="highlight">number</span> <span class="highlight">of</span> <span class="highlight">significant</span> digits. In measurement, accuracy refers to the precision <span class="highlight">of</span> measurement. Acute Angle: An angle that measures between 0 and 90 degrees. Acute Triangle: <span class="highlight">A</span> triangle in which all three angles are less than 90 degrees. Addend: One <span class="highlight">of</span> the numbers that are being added together in <span class="highlight">a</span> sum. Additive Inverse

The value given to <span class="highlight">a</span> digit <span class="highlight">based</span> <span class="highlight">on</span> the place it occupies in the <span class="highlight">number</span>. (In the numeral 643, 6 is in the hundreds place and represents <span class="highlight">a</span> value <span class="highlight">of</span> 600.) Plane Figure: <span class="highlight">A</span> two-dimensional figure. Plane: <span class="highlight">A</span> flat surface that extends forever in length and width but has no thickness.

Symmetry (Line): When an object can be folded in half to form two mirror images. Symmetry (Rotational or Point): When an object can be rotated less than 360 degrees about <span class="highlight">a</span> point to coincide <span class="highlight">with</span> an <span class="highlight">image</span> <span class="highlight">of</span> the object. Table: <span class="highlight">A</span> chart that organizes data in rows and columns to show facts and figures. Tabular: Data organized as <span class="highlight">a</span> table.
