3.2 Writing Algebraic Expressions CCSS 6.EE.2a Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers. Write expressions that record operations with numbers and with letters standing for numbers.
Numerical Expression Verbal Phrase Operation Numerical Expressions The sum of 5 and 3 is 8. Add The difference of 10 and 7 is 3. Subtract The product of 2 and 8 is 16. Multiply The quotient of 24 and 3 is 8. Divide
Backwards Words Add 3 and 7 = 3 + 7 The sum of 3 and 7 = 3 + 7 3 increased by 7 = 3 + 7 The total of 3 and 7 = 3 + 7 3 more than 7 = 7 + 3 3 added to 7 = 7 + 3
Backwards Words 7 subtract 3 = 7 - 3 The difference of 7 and 3 = 7 - 3 7 decreased by 3 = 7 - 3 7 diminished by 3 = 7 - 3 7 less 3 = 7 - 3 7 less than 3 = 3 - 7 7 subtracted from 3 = 3 - 7
