Teacher Directions:
1. Have students copy each expression onto a space on their bingo card.
2. In no particular order, the Teacher picks one of the expressions (ie n + 3) and says one of
the up to 3 possible phrases for that expression. (You may want to highlight the ones you
have used as you go.)
3. Students find and cover the expression written on their bingo card.
4. Teacher checks that students have covered the correct space. Corrects errors and
misconceptions.
5. Repeat until someone gets a “Bingo”

n+5 a number increased by 5 the sum of n and 5 5 larger than a number

n–5 5 less than a number a number decreased by 5 5 fewer than a number
5–n 5 decreased by a number 5 minus a number
5n the product of 5 and n a number multiplied by 5 5 times a number
n5 a number divided by 5 the quotient of n and 5
5n 5 divided by a number the quotient of 5 and n
n+3 a number increased by 3 the sum of n and 3 3 larger than a number
n–3 3 less than a number a number decreased by 3 3 fewer than a number
3–n 3 decreased by a number 3 minus a number
3n the product of 3 and n a number multiplied by 3 triple n
n3 a number divided by 3 the quotient of n and 3
3n 3 divided by a number the quotient of 3 and n
n+2 a number increased by 2 the sum of n and 2 2 larger than a number
n–2 2 less than a number a number decreased by 2 2 fewer than a number
2–n 2 decreased by a number 2 minus a number
2n the product of 2 and n a number multiplied by 2 double n
n2 a number divided by 2 the quotient of n and 2 half of n
2n 2 divided by a number the quotient of 2 and n
n + 10 a number increased by 10 the sum of n and 10 10 larger than a number
n – 10 10 less than a number a number decreased by 10 10 fewer than a number
10 – n 10 decreased by a number 10 minus a number
10n the product of 10 and n a number multiplied by 10 10 times a number
n  10 a number divided by 10 the quotient of n and 10
10  n 10 divided by a number the quotient of 10 and n
