Front

What is multiplication?

Back

Multiplication is a mathematical operation that represents the repeated addition of a number. For example, 4 x 3 means adding 4 three times (4 + 4 + 4 = 12).

Front

What is subtraction?

Back

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that represents the process of taking one quantity away from another. For example, 10 - 4 = 6.
