| DIFFERENCE | the answer to a subtraction problem |
| PRODUCT | the answer to a multiplication problem |
| QUOTIENT | the answer to a division problem |
| FEWER THAN/LESS THAN | subtract and reverse |
| LIKE TERMS | terms with 2 or more terms with the same variable or exponent |
| ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSION | ALGEBRAIC expressions have at least one variable and operation |
| HOW MUCH MORE /LESS | subtract |
| % OR A FRACTION OF | multiply |
| EACH | divide |
| IS THAN / FROM | reverse the other |
| ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY | The way in which numbers are grouped when added or multiplied does not change the answer. |

| IDENTITY PROPERTY OF ADDITION | the sum of an added and the 0 is the same as the addend |
| IDENTITY OF MULTIPLICATION | the product of any factor and 1 is the same as the factor |
| ADDITIVE INVERSE PROPERTY | adding a number and its opposite will produce a sun of zero |
| MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE | multiplying any number and its inverse equals 1 |
| ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY EX: | (x+7)+9 =x + (7 + 9 ) |
| ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY EX 2: | 4 ( 3 x 9) = (4 x 3 ) 9 |
| COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY EX: | (x +7 ) +9 = x + ( 7+ 9) |
| COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY EX 2: | 5 x 6 = 6 x 5 |
| IDENTITY PROPERTY OF ADDTION | x + 0 = x |
| IDENTITY PROPERTY OF MULTIPLICATION | 6(1)=6 |
| MULTIPLICATION INVERSE PROPERTY | 4 x 1/4 = 4 |
| ADDITIVE INVERSE PROPERTY | -5 + 5 = 0 |
| DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY EX : | 4 ( x +3 ) = 4x + 12 |
