A Ratio is a comparison of two
quantities.
Equivalent ratios are two ratios that
express that same relationship between
two numbers.

Look at the equivalent ratios below.
There are two types of ratios.

solve ratio problems. They are used to
visualize the relationship between two
quantities.

There are 3 different methods we can
use to divide fractions.
1. Find
a common denominator.
Use the common denominator 36
to solve.
20/36 ÷ 9/36 = 20/9
2. Divide

The word percent means parts per
hundred.
A percent is a fraction expressed
as a number of hundredths.
For example, one hundredth, written as
a decimal 0.01, or as a fraction 1/100,
can also be expressed as

are useful to find factors and determine
the prime factorization of a number.
The number line consists of positive and
negative integers. An integer is a
positive or negative whole number, or
zero.
The prime factorization of 48 is 2x2x2x2x3
or
The LCM of two numbers a and b, is the
smallest number that is divisible by both a
and b.
There are two methods for finding the
LCM. We can find the LCM of 9 and 12
using the two different methods.

deviation is the average of the
deviations from the mean.
The MAD can be found by adding
together all of the deviations, then
dividing by the number of values.

A histogram is a graphical
representation showing the distribution
of numerical data using bars of different
heights.
Absolute value is the distance a number
is from zero.
The coordinate plane is formed by a
horizontal line called the x-axis and a
vertical line called the y-axis. It is
divided into four quadrants
The origin is located at point (0,0).
An ordered pair is used to plot a point
on the plane.
The first number is the x coordinate and
the second number is the y coordinate
(x, y).
Expressions are mathematical sentences
that may use variables, numbers, and
operations.
Expressions that contain a variable are
known as algebraic expressions.

The volume of a rectangular prism can
be found using the formula V= l x w x h.
Volume is the amount of space an
object occupies. You can think of
volume as the amount of space within a
container.
Volume = length x width x height

We can do the opposite of the constant
(add or subtract) or the opposite of the
coefficient (multiply or divide), to help in
isolating the variable.
The area of a regular polygon can be

Statistics is the study and analysis of
data collection. A statistical question is
an inquiry that collects data with some
degree of variability.
These are statistical questions:
1. How many minutes do sixth graders
study each week?
2. What were the student scores on the
math test?
These are non-statistical questions:
1. How many minutes did Dave watch
television yesterday?
2. How many days are in January?
A measure of center is a numerical
value that describes the central position
of a data set. Mean, median, mode,
and range are used to analyze a data
set.
The mean is the average of a data set.
It can be determined by adding all of
the values and then dividing by the
number of values.
The median is the middle value of a
data set. It can be determined by
putting the values in order and finding
the middle point. When the middle
point is between two values, they can
be averaged to find the middle value.
A box plot is a graphic that shows
statistical data plotted using the five
number summary (minimum, lower
quartile, median, upper quartile, and
maximum).
The mode is the value that occurs most
often in the set.
The range can be found by subtracting
the least value from the greatest value
in the data set.
A dot plot is a graphic that shows
statistical data plotted as dots.
