Writing Expressions
“Many problems can be solved by translating data given with words into algebraic expressions. To do this, you must know which phrases suggest each of the operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).”
There are key words in this lesson and my note card looks like:
- Add – More than; sum of; greater than; added to
- Subtract – Less than;, fewer than; subtracted from; minus; difference of
- Multiplication – Times; product of; multiplied by; “double” means 2 times; half of
- Division – Divided by; quotient of
Whenever you see these type of key words, you can figure out what order operation is being requested!
