Exponent - ANSWER A number that tells how many times the base is to be used as a fac-
tor or to be multiplied by itself. in 2 to the 3rd power, 2 is the base and 3 is the exponent
meaning 2x2x2
Face - ANSWER A flat surface of a solid figure
Fact Families - ANSWER Number sentences that relate addition and subtraction or multi-
plication and division. Each number sentence in the fact family has the same numbers.
Factor - ANSWER A number to be multiplied or a number that divides evenly into a given
second number is a factor of that number. In 2x3 =6, 2 and 3 are factors of 6
Factor tree - ANSWER A diagram showing how a composite number breaks down into its
prime factors.
Histogram - ANSWER A graph showing the results of tabulating the number of items
found in defined categories and shown using vertical bars; often referred to as a bar chart.
Integers - ANSWER The whole numbers and their negatives (e.g. -2, -1, 0, 1, 2).
Inverse operations - ANSWER Operations that are the opposite of each other and cancel
each other out. Addition and subtractions are inverse operations, as are multiplication and
division
Iteration - ANSWER A computational process in which a cycle of actions or operations is
repeated, generally to get closer to a final answer.
