Number Line
The number line is an illustration tool used to visualize the domain of a given set.
Addition
The operation of addition represents the action of merging, or combining multiple values (addends) into a sum.
Subtraction
The opposite operation of addition. In subtraction we decrease a value by a given amount.
Multiplication
Represents the repeated operation of addition. Instead of adding the same value repeatedly, we can instead multiply it by the number of times it was added.
Division
The opposite operation of multiplication, in division we break a value down into 2 factors. Using one factor, we divide the value by it to yield the other (the quotient).
Absolute Values
An operation which finds the magnitude of a given value (b). The magnitude is simply the positive quantity of the value (ie drop the negative).
Powers
Represents the repeated operation of multiplication by the same value. The power is the base value (b) multiplied by itself n number of times (the exponent).
Roots
The opposite of the power operation. Instead we find the root (r), which when multiplied by itself n number of times gives us the base (b).
Order of Operations
The order in which the operations are performed.
