1.2 Writing Algebraic Expressions Standard: AF 1.1 Objective: Students translate phrases into expressions and vice versa.
Numerical Expression Verbal Phrase Operation Result 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
