Phrase to Equation

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on translating verbal phrases into algebraic expressions. Each phrase describes a basic mathematical operation, such as “5 times x” or “3 added to a,” and students must write the corresponding algebraic expression. The problems use terms like “product,” “quotient,” and “less than,” covering a variety of arithmetic operations. It is a great exercise for reinforcing the connection between words and algebra.

Completing this worksheet helps students bridge the gap between language and math by translating everyday language into algebraic expressions. It strengthens their understanding of mathematical operations and improves their ability to express relationships between variables. This practice also enhances their problem-solving skills, as they learn to break down word problems and convert them into solvable expressions. By mastering this skill, students will be better equipped to handle more complex algebra problems.
