Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Write Simple Expressions. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
Interpret words and phrases as operational cue words.
Expressions are a series of numbers and symbols, such as +, -, x, and ÷, without an equal sign.
The differing ways the calculations can be expressed also help to illustrate the commutative laws of multiplication and addition.
Model with illustrations or pictures the value of expressions without evaluating (3 x (4+8) as a picture with 4 red and 8 green shapes written 3x to show that 3 x (4+8) is 3x as large as (4+8).
Written expressions do not have to be evaluated but interpretation can be drawn from expressions (2 x (7+201) can be said to be twice the sum of 201 and 7).
Given scenarios, write expressions to accurately reflect their mathematical value with all 4 operations and can include grouping symbols (Parenthesis, brackets or braces).
