like terms Terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power; only the coefficients are different.
operator A symbol that shows an operation.
order of operations Order mathematical operations should be completed. GEMA: Grouping symbols, Exponential operations, Multiplicative operations, Additive operations.
product The result when two numbers are multiplied.
squared number A number raised to the second power. Ex. 5^2= 5 x 5 = 25
terms Any part of an expression written as a product or quotient; they are separated by the additive operations.
