Sum - Difference - Product - Quotient

In early math, like Pre-Algebra, it's our job to understand the most basic functions of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Take a look at this short, informative, and incredibly hip video from the Youtube!

What the video says is simple, repetitive,repetitive and not only repetitive, but repetitive. Fortunately, repetition is what you need when you're doing basic algebra. You're going to need to know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide when college takes you to higher level math.

If you didn't watch the video because you don't want to be hip (it's okay, math needs squares) here's what the video was telling you:
ADD numbers and the answer is the SUM
2 + 2 = 4

SUBTRACT numbers and the answer is the DIFFERENCE
6 - 3 = 3

MULTIPLY numbers and the answer is the PRODUCT
1 x 9 = 9

DIVIDE numbers and the answer is the QUOTIENT
8 ÷ 2 = 4
