Write expressions
that record
operations with
numbers and with
letters standing for
numbers. For
example, express
the calculation
“Subtract y from 5”
as 5 – y.
Identify parts of an
expression using
mathematical
terms (sum, term,
product, factor,
quotient,
coefficient); view
one or more parts
of an expression as
a single entity. For
example, describe
the expression 2 (8
+ 7) as a product of
two factors; view
(8 + 7) as both a
single entity and a
sum of two terms.
Use the order of
operations to solve
