Hint: Many of these words that start with M mean the same as in other fields of thought which is encouraging to some students to discover. "Hey, I already know this word!"

Math is the first time most of us consider some of these words, as with mean and median. 

The metric prefixes are good to simply memorize for facility later in life: milli means one thousandth as with milligram, millimeter, and millisecond.

Mode - the most frequently occurring value in a sequence of numbers.

Modular Arithmetic - a method for finding remainders where all the possible numbers (the numbers less than the divisor) are put in a circle, and then by counting around the circle the number of times of the number being divided, the remainder will be the final number landed on.

Modulo - the integers a and b are said to be congruent modulo m if a-b is divisible by m.
