  1. Translating Words to Mathese Algebra 1

  2. MATHESE (the language of math) Write all the terms that imply these operations. Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division

  3. Is there a difference? eight more than sixversussix more than eight four less than five versusfive less than four product of two and four versus product of four and two quotient of six and three versus quotient of three and six Fifteen divided by three versus three divided by fifteen

  4. Using a Verbal Model • Ask yourself what you need to know to solve the problem. • Assign labels to each part of the verbal model. • Use the labels to write an algebraic model based on the verbal model. • Solve the algebraic model and answer the original question. • Check that your answer is reasonable.

  5. Example Using a Verbal Model The terrific math club is selling Pi Day shirts at $15 each. The club wants to raise $300 for a math field trip.

  6. Problem #1 five more than n

  8. Problem #3 • Five less than six times a number

  9. Problem #4 • Jeremy’s sister is 6 years older than Jeremy. Write an expression for the age of Jeremy’s sister.

  10. Problem #5 • 7 divided by the sum of x and 5

  11. Problem #6 Fifty divided by two times a number

  12. Problem #7 y added to the product of 7 and m

  13. Problem #8 Twelve less than a number is thirty.

  14. Problem #9 Four times a number increased by seven

  15. Problem #10 y subtracted from twice a number

  16. Problem #11 Four more than half a number

  17. Problem #12 Fifteen less than the product of 8 and r

  18. Problem #13 • Andrea’s brother is 14 years younger than Andrea. Write an expression for the age of Andrea’s brother.

  19. Problem #14 The difference of eighty-one and a number

  20. Problem #15 Twice the sum of five and a number

  21. Problem #16 Triple the sum of five and a number x

  22. Problem #17 Fifteen less than eight times a number

  23. Problem #18 Write a variable expression for “15 divided by the sum of x and 4.”

  24. Problem #19 • Write a variable expression for “15 multiplied by the sum of x and 4.”

  25. Problem #20 • Write a variable expression for “30 divided by the difference of t and 8.”

  26. On Your Own Write your own expression in words and then in mathematical symbols.
