Translating a Mathematical Expression into a Verbal Expression
We already know how to translate a verbal expression into a mathematical
expression. Now let’s reverse the order!!!! You simply write it like you can read it
out loud.
Ex.1 x + 5
____________________________________________
____________________________________________
Ex.2 y- 6
____________________________________________
____________________________________________
Ex. 3 12y
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________
Ex. 4 x ÷ 12
_____________________________________________
_____________________________________________
Ex. 5 4 ( x + 6)
_____________________________________________
Let’s ask our Random Name Generator who is going to be partners for our next
