Definitions

Math is one of the subjects which mostly all the students find it tough. I was one of these students too. I did not enjoyed math and so i can well understand what they go through while dealing with math. So today i will give some math definitions for kids, so that you get well acquitted with the subject itself.

Further we will learn some algebra terms but before that following are few math definitions:

Addition means sum of two quantities. The sign used to do addition is ‘+ ‘.

Subtraction means difference of two quantities. The sign used to do subtraction is ‘– ‘.

Division means sharing a number into equal parts. The sign used to do division is ‘/’.

Multiplication means a number is added to itself a number of times. The sign used to do multiplication is ‘x’ or sometimes ‘*’.

These are the basic definitions of math. Now lets move on to know some algebra terms. Following are few basic algebra terms:

Exponents and Radicals
Factoring Polynomials
Linear Equations
Complex Numbers
Quadratic Equations


So here is some basic knowledge on math. I am sure this will help in your first step with math. Next time we will move on to other topics.
