This section introduces the standard order of operations used in mathematics, known by the acronym PEMDAS.
Definition PEMDAS stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.
Highlight Operations must be performed in this specific order to obtain correct results.
This section explores the crucial role of parentheses in algebraic expressions and how they affect calculations.
Example In the expression 2, distribute 2 by multiplying it with both x and 4, resulting in 2x + 8.
Highlight Parentheses indicate that the operations inside must be performed first and can also represent multiplication.
This section explains the concept of exponents and their notation in algebraic expressions.
Definition An exponent represents repeated multiplication of a number by itself.
Example 2³ means 2 × 2 × 2 = 8, also read as "two to the third power"
This section covers the various ways multiplication can be expressed in word problems and their algebraic translations.
Vocabulary Key words indicating multiplication include times, multiply, per, twice, triple, quadruple, and product.
Example "Product of 5 and 2" translates to 5 × 2, "20 per week" becomes 20w
This section explains how to recognize and translate division operations in word problems.
Vocabulary Key words for division include divide, quotient, half, third, fourth, and split.
Example "Divide 8 in half" becomes 8/2, "A third of 12" translates to 12/3
This section details the various ways addition can be expressed in mathematical language.
Vocabulary Key words for addition include sum, add, combine, increase, larger, plus, more, and and.
Example "2 more than 7" translates to 7 + 2, "Increase by 10" becomes x + 10
This section covers the translation of subtraction operations from word problems to algebraic expressions.
Vocabulary Key words for subtraction include difference, subtract, minus, fewer, take away, and decrease.
Example "Subtract 2 from 9" becomes 9 - 2, "Decrease by 4" translates to x - 4
This introductory section explains the fundamental concept of translating word problems into algebraic expressions. The focus is on developing the basic skills needed for more complex mathematical problem-solving.
Definition Algebraic expressions are mathematical phrases that combine numbers, variables, and operations.
Highlight Understanding how to translate words into mathematical symbols is the foundation of algebra.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
