In a power, the number that is used as a factor. The number that gets multiplied when using an exponent.
In a power, the superscripted number that tells how many times the base is used as a factor. (e.g. 3 in 23 = 2 × 2 × 2).
An expression that is either a numeral, a variable, or the product of a numeral and one or more variables. a number, a variable or a product of a number and a variable where all exponents are whole numbers
A number. a monomial that only contains a single number.
A sum of monomials. consisting of several terms.
A polynomial with two terms. an expression that is a sum or difference of two terms, as 3 x + 2 y and x 2− 4 x.
A polynomial with three terms. a polynomial consisting of three terms or monomials/ is the sum of three monomials.
The number in front of the variable part of a monomial. A numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression.

Two perfect squares separated by a subtraction sign. a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)
the product you obtain when you square a binomial. Any trinomial of the form a^2+2ab+b^2 or a^2-2ab+b^2 where the first term is squared, the second term is a double, and the third term is a perfect square.
the sum of the exponents of the variables in the term. For a term with one variable, the degree is the variable's exponent.
In a polynomial, writing the terms from greatest to least degree. Arranging numbers (or other items) in descending order means to arrange them from largest to smallest.
To replace the variable, or variables, in an algebraic expression with a number, or numbers, and perform the indicated mathematical operations. form an idea of the amount, number, or value of; assess.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossword?

Crossword puzzles have been published in newspapers and other publications since 1873. They consist of a grid of squares where the player aims to write words both horizontally and vertically.

Next to the crossword will be a series of questions or clues, which relate to the various rows or lines of boxes in the crossword. The player reads the question or clue, and tries to find a word that answers the question in the same amount of letters as there are boxes in the related crossword row or line.

Some of the words will share letters, so will need to match up with each other. The words can vary in length and complexity, as can the clues.

Who is a crossword suitable for?

The fantastic thing about crosswords is, they are completely flexible for whatever age or reading level you need. You can use many words to create a complex crossword for adults, or just a couple of words for younger children.

Crosswords can use any word you like, big or small, so there are literally countless combinations that you can create for templates. It is easy to customise the template to the age or learning level of your students.
