Math terms explained in simple language

A simple glossary of common multiplication and math terms. Each entry explains what the word means in plain English so kids, parents and teachers can find clear, no-nonsense definitions for the concepts that come up when learning the times tables.
  • Arithmetic education refers to the teaching and learning of basic arithmetic concepts and operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  • Arithmetic operation is a mathematical procedure used to find a numerical result by performing operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on numbers.
  • The associative property is a property of addition and multiplication in mathematics, which states that the way in which the terms in an addition or multiplication expression are grouped does not affect the result.
  • Basic arithmetic refers to the fundamental concepts and operations in mathematics that involve numbers, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
  • Calculation is the process of solving mathematical problems using mathematical operations and formulas. It involves applying arithmetic operations such as addition, multiplication, and more.
  • In mathematics, a coefficient is a numerical value that is used to scale or multiply a variable in an equation.
  • The commutative property is a property of addition and multiplication in mathematics, which states that the order of the terms in an addition or multiplication expression does not affect the result.
  • The distributive property is a property of arithmetic that states how multiplication distributes over addition.
  • The word "equal" is used to describe a mathematical relationship between two or more numbers, quantities, or expressions that have the same value.
  • In mathematics, an expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and operators that represents a mathematical value or relationship.
  • In mathematics, a factor can be a number that is multiplied by another number to get a product.
  • An integer is a whole number, i.e., a number that can be expressed without a fractional or decimal component.
  • Mathematical operation is a calculation or a set of procedures to solve a mathematical problem, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and more. 
  • Mathematics is a branch of science concerned with the study of numbers, quantities, and shapes.
  • Multiplicand is one of the two or more numbers being multiplied in a multiplication operation.
  • Multiplication is an arithmetic operation used to determine the product of two or more numbers. The result of a multiplication operation is called a product. 
  • A Multiplication Chart is a visual representation of a multiplication table that displays the product of multiplying numbers in rows and columns.
  • A multiplication expression is a mathematical expression that involves the operation of multiplication.
  • A multiplication fact is a basic mathematical statement that states the result of multiplying two numbers.
  • The multiplication sign, also known as the multiplication symbol, is the symbol used to indicate multiplication in mathematics.
  • A multiplication table is a table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system.
  • Multiplication terms refer to the numbers and expressions involved in a multiplication problem.
  • In mathematics, a multiplier is a number that is used to scale or multiply another number, called the multiplicand.
  • Multiplying is a mathematical operation that involves finding the product of two or more numbers. The result of multiplying two numbers is called the product.
  • Numbers are a basic concept in mathematics and refer to a set of symbols that represent quantities.
  • The one property is a property of multiplication in mathematics, which states that any number multiplied by one is equal to itself.
  • A power, also known as an exponent, is a mathematical operation that involves multiplying a number (the base) by itself a certain number of times.
  • Product is the result obtained from multiplying two or more numbers together.
  • A square number, also known as a perfect square, is a number that is the result of multiplying an integer by itself.
  • A table is a systematic arrangement of data or information in rows and columns.
  • The times tables refer to a set of mathematical facts that express the products of integers up to a certain number.
  • The term "tripled" means to increase by three times.
  • The zero property is a property of multiplication in mathematics, which states that any number multiplied by zero is equal to zero.
