Times (x)
Divided by (�)
2x2=5 two times two is equals to five
2�2=1 two divided by two is equals to one
This is what I remember (but it �s been 20 years since I studied maths in English)!
Good luck! |

+ the plus sign
- the minus sign
x the multiplication sign
� the division sign
This is what I call them as a native speaker. I sometimes say "symbol" in place of "sign" as well.
