Addition : Addition is the mathematical operation that describes increasing a number by an amount equal to a second number. The mathematical symbol for addition is the plus sign $+.$ The term addition is also used for a generalization of this basic operation on numbers to functions, vectors and matrices.

Zero : The number 0.

Denominator : The denominator of a fraction $\frac{a}{b}$ is the number $b$ below the fraction bar.

Fraction : A fraction is a number that can be written as $\frac{a}{b}$ with an integer $a$ and a natural numbers $b.$ A fraction $\frac{a}{b}$ is the result of the division $a\div b.$ Examples of fractions are $\frac{1}{2}, -\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{3}{2}.$

Multiplication : Multiplication is the mathematical operation that is a shorthand for adding the same amount several times. For example $3\cdot 4=4+4+4=12.$

Number : A number $x$ is a mathematical symbol representing a quantity.

Numerator : The numerator of a fraction $\frac{a}{b}$ is the number $a$ above the fraction bar.

Whole number : A whole number is any of the numbers $0,1,2,\ldots.$

Expression : An expression is a succession of constants, variables and mathematical operations that if evaluated for specific values of the variables represents a number.

Variable : A letter in an expression or function that represents an arbitrary number.
