the sum of n and 3 the total of n and 3 add n to 3 n added to 3 n plus 3 3 more than n 3 greater than n n increased by 3 3 older than n n and 3 If the numbers are presented in the reverse order, the convention is still to use the n+3 form. According to the ASSOCIATIVE property n+3 and 3+n are the same. the sum of 3 and nthe total of 3 and n add 3 to n 3 added to n 3 plus n n more than 3 n greater than 3 3 increased by n n older than 3 3 and n |
subtract 3 from n take 3 from n n minus 3 3 less than n n take away 3 3 from n 3 fewer than n 3 less than n n decreased by 3 n reduced by 3 n is how many more than 3? *With subtraction (and division) the ORDER of the terms is extremely important. While the following phrases are similar to the ones above, they represent completely different values. These are in the form 3-n. subtract n from 3 take n from 3 3 minus n n less than 3 3 take away n n from 3 n fewer than 3 n less than 3 3 decreased by n 3 reduced by n 3 is how many more than n? Another phrase associated with subtraction is: younger than |
the product of 3 and n multiply 3 and n 3 times n n multiplied by 3 If the numbers are presented in the reverse order, the convention is still to use the 3n form. According to the ASSOCIATIVE property nx3 and 3n are the same. Other terms used to show multiplication: twice as many (2x)doubled (2x) tripled (3x) quadrupled (4x) (n) times as many squared (nxn) cubed (nxnxn) Of (mostly with fractions or percents) |
 divide n by 3 n divided by 3 3 into n n is how many times more than 3 is n divisible by 3? *With division the ORDER of the terms is extremely important. While the following phrases are similar to the ones above, they represent completely different values. These are in the form:  divide 3 by n 3 divided by n n into 3 3 is how many times more than n is 3 divisible by n? Other terms used to show division: half as many as (÷2) |
