Meaning of Number and Variable (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on identifying the meaning of algebraic expressions involving numbers and variables. Students are presented with various terms such as "2b," "3b," "3c," and asked to choose the correct interpretation from multiple choices. Interpretations include options like multiplication (e.g., "2 multiplied by b"), division (e.g., "b over 2"), addition, subtraction, and exponentiation (e.g., "2 to the power of b"). This is an introductory exercise to algebra basic concepts, helping students understand how numbers and variables interact in algebraic functions.
