noun

Calculations are a way of figuring out answers to math problems. When we do calculations, we use numbers and symbols like plus, minus, times, and divide to find the answer to a problem. For example, if we want to know how many apples we have if we have 3 apples and we get 2 more, we can do a calculation by adding 3 and 2 to get the answer of 5. Calculations can help us solve all kinds of problems, like counting, measuring, and sharing things fairly.

Example

1. He made a quick calculation to determine how much money he needed for the trip.
2. The engineer performed complex calculations to design the bridge.
3. My math teacher asked us to show our calculations on the paper.
