Math Terms Indirect Measurement is A process where the measurement of some entity is not obtained by the direct reading of a measuring tool, or by counting of units superimposed alongside or on that entity. For example if the length and width of a rectangle are multiplied to find the area of that rectangle, then the area is an indirect measurement.

Math Terms number line is A line on which equidistant points correspond to numbers in order.

Math Terms Percentile is A value on a scale that indicates the percent of a distribution that is equal to it or below it. For example, a score at the 95th percentile is equal to or better than 95 percent of the scores.

Math Terms Dimensional Analysis is A method of manipulating unit measures algebraically to determine the proper units for a quantity computed algebraically. For example, velocity has units of the form length over time (e.g., meters per second [ m/sec ]), and acceleration has units of velocity over time; so it follows that acceleration has units ( m/sec)/sec = m/(sec2).

Math Terms Scale is (1) The ratio of the size of an object in a representation (drawing) of the object to theactual size of the object; the ratio of the distance on a map to the actual distance (e.g., the scale on a map is 1inch:10miles); (2) aninstrument used to measure an objects mass.
