Operations and Expressions
In this video on Operations and Expressions, Julie Harland covers the basics of arithmetic operations and vocabulary. She explains the conventions for simplifying expressions with only one operation, whether it is addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Through this lesson, viewers learn the difference between expressions and equations, constants and variables, and natural and whole numbers. Julie also teaches the formal terms for the answer when you add, subtract, multiply, or divide. This lesson is essential for anyone seeking to learn pre-algebra or looking to brush up on their arithmetic skills.
Part of a series of Mathematics videos starting with prealgebra. Covers basics of arithmetic operations, and basic vocabulary, as well as conventions for evaluating expressions with only one operation.

Staff Review
This lesson will teach you basic vocabulary involved in basic / pre-Algebra math. Several different math terms are defined and discussed with examples given for each term. This is a great starting point for learning vocabulary terms or understanding them better. There are also some basic simplifying expressions with one operation in them at the end of the video.
