Find a maths tutor near me in Somerville

Maths builds on four core operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

• Addition combines two or more numbers into a larger sum (5 + 3 = 8).
• Subtraction removes one number from another to find the difference (9 − 4 = 5).
• Multiplication repeats addition quickly (4 × 3 = 12 means adding 4 three times).
• Division shares a total evenly or finds how many times one fits into another.

Once you're confident with these basics, complex topics become straightforward.

Master addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and you'll gain access to numerous maths topics.
