Adding - Diamante
Adding
plus, combined,
more than, sum ,total
added, all together, - less than, minus,
reduce, lesser, diminish,
take away, decreased by,
subtracting
The rule for multiplying -
When you multiply 2 positive integers your product
will always be positive too.
But when you add a negative number,
then you will start feeling blue.
Subtraction
In the world of integers minus is a mythical thing.
like when you find out about the tooth fairy,
there is no such thing.
You just add the opposite and don't have a fit.
Because now you home works done and so lets play
and have some FUN!

Ouotative division- free verse
One of me two of you
now we have a group of three!
one group 2 groups 3 groups 4
now where doing Quotative division
Partitive
Lets go back to when were young
when sharing was a lot of FUN!
one for me one for you
until we have equal groups
of 2!
CHAPTER 2!
Camille: Hi Alex! what is the matter?
Alex: Well Camille I don't know how to combine like term!
Camille: would you like some help?
Alex: Yeah that would help a lot! :)
Camille okay lets try an easy question: n+3-5n+12. What do u think the answer is?
Alex: Well... ummm... (PAUSE) It might be -6n+15? Right?
Camille: how did you get that?
Alex: Well I know that n by itself means one so
I put all the n's together and -5n + n = - 6n. At least I think it does?
Camille: Well I got -4n +15 because the n is a positive
Alex: How is it positive?
Camille: Because it has no sign in front of it. So automatically makes it a positive number! So when you add a negative and positive together you have to have zero pairs, so 1-5 equals -4n.
okay! :)
Alex: okay I guess that makes sense.
Camille: Then my work here is done!
Alex: No I still don't get it just one more question okay ?
Camille: oh alright. 2 + 4(3n+8)
Alex: Okay I can do this : its 12n + 10.
Camille: Not exactly,
Camille: okay here are the steps I took : first multiply 4 by 3n then 4 by 8.
Alex: okay
Camille: so 4 multiplied by 3n is?
Alex: oh that's easy 12n!
Camille: then 4 multiplied by 8 is?
Alex: 32! :)
Camille:Right! so your first step would look like this: 4 x 3n / 4 x 8 okay then
you would have 12n + 32 then you would have to bring down the +2
Alex: okay then would you add the +2 to the 32?
Camille: Yeah so your answer would be...?
Alex: 12n + 34!!! :)
Camille: I think you've got it! :) Now my work here is done! ;p
Alex: thank you so much Camille for helping me!
Camille: Hey what are friends for.

Hey, Camus! Lol.
I really liked your poems. I liekd how they rhymed and how colourful they were.
I found some errors though. For starters, you forgot your title. It was 'The Great Big Book Of Algebra'. And I think you made some minor spelling/ grammar errors, also. Oh, and it would be great if you got rid of that space between and beneath your poems.
But other than that I think you did a fantastic job! ☺
