Numerical Expressions
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
The expression 3 × (12 − 4) means subtract 4 from 3, then multiply by 12
Rewrite: The expression 3 × (12 − 4) means subtract 4 from 12, then multiply by 3
2. Fix the sentence:
Add 6 and 14, then divide by 5 is written as 6 + 14 ÷ 5
Rewrite: Add 6 and 14, then divide by 5 is written as (6 + 14) ÷ 5
3. Fix the sentence:
Multiply 9 by 2, then add 7 is written as 9 × (2 + 7)
Rewrite: Multiply 9 by 2, then add 7 is written as (9 × 2) + 7
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Subtract 8 from 20, then multiply by 3 is written as (20 − 8) × 3.
2. Add 11 and 9, then divide by 4 is written as (11 + 9) ÷ 4.
3. Divide 30 by 6, then add 8 is written as (30 ÷ 6) + 8.
4. Multiply 5 by 7, then subtract 12 is written as (5 × 7) − 12.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Write a numerical expression for: Subtract 6 from 18, then divide by 3. Explain what your expression means.
(18 − 6) ÷ 3. This means you first find the difference of 18 and 6, which is 12, then divide that difference by 3.
2. Write a numerical expression for: Add 8 and 12, then multiply by 2. Explain what it represents.
(8 + 12) × 2. This means you first find the sum of 8 and 12, which is 20, then multiply that sum by 2.
Numerical Expressions
★ Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1) Fix the sentence:
The expression 3 × (12 − 4) means subtract 4 from 3, then multiply by 12
Rewrite: The expression 3 × (12 − 4) means subtract 4 from 12, then multiply by 3
2) Fix the sentence:
Add 6 and 14, then divide by 5 is written as 6 + 14 ÷ 5
Rewrite: Add 6 and 14, then divide by 5 is written as (6 + 14) ÷ 5
3) Fix the sentence:
Multiply 9 by 2, then add 7 is written as 9 × (2 + 7)
Rewrite: Multiply 9 by 2, then add 7 is written as (9 × 2) + 7
★ Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1) Subtract 8 from 20, then multiply by 3 is written as (20 − 8) × 3.
2) Add 11 and 9, then divide by 4 is written as (11 + 9) ÷ 4.
3) Divide 30 by 6, then add 8 is written as (30 ÷ 6) + 8.
4) Multiply 5 by 7, then subtract 12 is written as (5 × 7) − 12.
★ Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
