Vocabulary Quiz - Calculations

A vocabulary quiz tailored for Year 6 students focuses on key mathematical terms related to calculations. The first question asks which mathematical operation results in a remainder, with the correct answer being division. The next query explores the concept of decomposition, which is a technique applicable in the operation of subtraction. Following that, the quiz addresses the idea of inverse operations, which are operations that reverse the effects of each other, such as addition and subtraction or multiplication and division.

Further questions in the quiz test the students' understanding of basic arithmetic operations. For instance, students are asked to identify the operation used to find the difference between two numbers, which is subtraction. They also learn that the term "product" refers to the result of multiplication. The quiz then delves into the order of operations, represented by the acronym BODMAS, which stands for Brackets, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. Additionally, the quiz covers the concepts of common factors, which are numbers that can divide two different numbers without a remainder, and prime numbers, defined as numbers greater than one with only two factors: one and the number itself. Lastly, the quiz defines a quotient as the result of a division calculation and a multiple as the result of multiplication.
