Translating between math expressions and word statements.

  • How do you translate word statements to math expressions?
  • How do you change a math expression into a word statement?
  • What do product and quotient mean?
  • How do you write math problems from word statements?
This video is similar to the two videos explaining how to translate from a word statement to a math expression and vice versa. This video goes both ways and uses multiplication and division as well as addition and subtraction. Some of these problems get a bit involved and require parentheses.

How staff ratings work
The video provides good examples using the words sum, difference, product, and quotient. I would like to see examples with more vocabulary in addition to these four words. It would be better if more real world examples were provided using the added vocabulary I've suggested.

The video provided simple and easy to remember definitions for sum, difference, product and quotient. It was efficient in showing a person how to write the terms in both words and a mathematical expression. I would recommend it.

I like how the professor explains sum, difference, product and quotient very well and makes sure you know what it means.

This video gave me some very good examples on how to turn word problems into numerical problems. i think they should add more vocabulary words for those who dont know all the word meanings.
