Array (a set of numbers or objects that follow a specific pattern)
Commutative property (e.g., 2 × 3 = 3 × 2)
Distribute (with reference to the distributive property; e.g., in 12 × 3 = (10 × 3) + (2 × 3), the 3 is the multiplier for each part of the decomposition)
Divide, division (partitioning a total into equal groups to show how many equal groups add up to a specific number, e.g., 15 ÷ 5 = 3)
Equal groups (with reference to multiplication and division; one factor is the number of objects in a group and the other is a multiplier that indicates the
number of groups)
Equation (a statement that two expressions are equal, e.g., 3 × 4 = 12)
Even number (a whole number whose last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8)
Expression (a number, or any combination of sums, differences, products, or divisions of numbers that evaluates to a number, e.g., 8 × 3, 15 ÷ 3)
These are terms and symbols students have used or seen previously.
