Deduction - act of taking away, subtraction; reasoning from the general to the particular, from given premises to their necessary conclusion.

Deficient Number - a positive integer that is larger than the sum of its proper divisors.

Degree - the degree of a term in one variable is the exponent of that variable (as in a degree of a polynomial), a unit of measure for agles. A right angle is a 90 degree angle and a straight angle is a 180 degree angle.

Degree of an Angle - a special unit of measure that measures things that are circular.

Degrees - a circle is measured in units called degrees. The entire circle is 360 degrees, half a circle is 180 degrees, and one quarter of a circle is 90 degrees. The “L” shaped 90 degree circle forms what is called a right angle. When examining circular objects, such as spinners, the size of each segment in the circle can be described in degrees.

Denominator - the number below the fraction bar that indicates how many parts into which the whole is divided.

Dependent equations - simultaneous equations whose solution sets are equal. The graphs of dependent equations are single lines.

Dependent variable - when considering a function, the variable whose value depends on the value assigned to another variable called the independent variable. Where the function y = 4x + 6, y is the dependent variable.

Words That Start With Di

Diagonal - in a polygon, the line segment joining a vertex with another (non-adjacent) vertex is called a diagonal.

Disjunction - a statement of two conditions of which only one condition must be true in order for the statement to be true.

Distributive Law - the formula a(x+y)=ax+ay.

Distributive Property - summing two numbers and then multiplying by another number yields the same value as multiplying both values by the other value and then adding; a property of real numbers that notes that, for any real numbers a, b, and c, a(b + c) = ab + ac and (b + c)a = ba + ca.

Dividend - in the expression “a divided by b”, a is the dividend and b is the divisor; the number you are dividing. The dividend is divided by the divisor to find the quotient.

Division - a basic arithmetical operation determining how many times one quantity is contained within another, the inverse operation of multiplication.

Division sign - A symbol indicating that one number is to be divided by another. Division is also indicated as a fraction, i.e., 21/7=3.

Divisor - in the expression “a divided by b”, a is the dividend and b is the divisor; the number you are dividing by. The dividend is divided by the divisor to find the quotient.

D Math Words

Division and it's denominators as well as metric numbers make up a good portion of the Math vocabulary for words that start with D.

The metric system has many measurements that can begin with the same prefix as with deci and deca. The easiest way to have children understand the differences is to show the difference (a D word!) in the size indicated by the prefix.

Teaching the metric system is a great opportunity to teach how prefixes change the meanings of words and how the meanings can often be understood from the prefixes and roots in a word.
