To write an expression from words, you have to know which operation each word means — sum is add, difference is subtract, product is multiply, quotient is divide. Get these word clues warm and writing expressions feels easy.
These are words you'll need to already know to follow this lesson — not the new words the lesson teaches. Review each one, its meaning, and the example so the new lesson makes sense from the start.
Level 1 To put numbers together to find how many in all. Words like "more than" mean add.

Level 1 To take one number away from another. Words like "less than" mean subtract.
Example: 9 − 4 = 5.
Level 1 To add the same number many times. Words like "times" mean multiply.
