It looks like you've uploaded a
math vocabulary worksheet that asks students to match common math terms with their corresponding
operations and provide an
example for each.
Here's how to complete the worksheet:
---
🔹 Understanding the Task
The table has three columns:
1.
Word(s) – Common math vocabulary words.
2.
Operation – The mathematical operation (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).
3.
Example – A simple example showing how the word is used in a math expression.
We’ll go through each row and fill in the missing information.

✔ Completed Table
| Word(s) | Operation | Example |
|-------------------|-------------------|----------------------------------|
| sum | Addition | 5 + 3 = 8 |
| product | Multiplication | 4 × 6 = 24 |
| difference | Subtraction | 10 - 4 = 6 |
| quotient | Division | 12 ÷ 3 = 4 |
| altogether | Addition | 7 + 2 = 9 |
| fewer than | Subtraction | 8 fewer than 15 → 15 - 8 = 7 |
| groups of | Multiplication | 3 groups of 5 → 3 × 5 = 15 |
| more than | Addition | 6 more than 4 → 4 + 6 = 10 |
| less than | Subtraction | 5 less than 12 → 12 - 5 = 7 |
| gave away | Subtraction | Gave away 3 apples from 10 → 10 - 3 = 7 |
| increased by | Addition | Increased by 5 → x + 5 |
| half | Division | Half of 10 → 10 ÷ 2 = 5 |
| is all | Equals (=) | 5 + 3 is all 8 → 5 + 3 = 8 |
| percent | Multiplication | 20% of 50 → 0.20 × 50 = 10 |
| of | Multiplication | 1/3 of 12 → (1/3) × 12 = 4 |
| ratio of | Division | Ratio of 6 to 3 → 6 ÷ 3 = 2 |
| combined | Addition | Combined 5 and 3 → 5 + 3 = 8 |
| decreased by | Subtraction | Decreased by 4 → x - 4 |
