In this Learning Activity Sheet (LAS), you will be taught on how to
translate verbal expression to algebraic expression and vice versa. I know that
you could learn this easily because you already know how to perform the four
fundamental operations and you have just learned the difference between
expression and equation. You will be answering 3 activities, but please read
and understand first the discussions before answering them. Good luck,
Kiddos!

TRANSLATING KEY WORDS AND PHRASES INTO ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS

The table below lists some key words and phrases that are used to
describe common mathematical operations. To write algebraic expressions and
equations, assign a variable to represent the unknown number. In the table below,
the letter “x” is used to represent the unknown. In translation problems, the
words sum, total, difference, product and quotient imply at least two parts –
use parentheses when a sum or difference is multiplied. For example, the
phrase "the sum of three times a number and five" translates to "3x + 5," while
the phrase "three times the sum of a number and five" translates to "3(x + 5)."

“Guessing Game”

Direction: Guess the riddle. In order to guess the riddle, you must translate
the word phrases to algebraic expressions and equation. The answer has a
corresponding letter to fill in the boxes.

Riddle: I am an even number. I am fluffy and I have no end. What am I?

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

T: 11 + N I: 12 + 36
H: N x 2 = 6 G: 4 x 3 = 12
E: 30 – 10
