In what context would you wish to say this?
Hello. Unnecessary. Just go ahead and ask your question.
I am puzzled between using divided by and divided into in maths.
Which one is correct — six divided into two or six divided by two?
Please note my amendments to your posts.In writing a maths exam.
6 divided by 2 = 3In writing maths exam.
Thank you.In a maths exam it would normally be written as 6÷2 and said as six divided by two.
No.Again my question is it possible to write the present simple passive ,such as ten is divided by two equals five?
This seems madness to me. You are testing something your students have been taught. Therefore the teaching materials must contain the terms and their meanings. If you are having trouble, why would you imagine that the students are in any better position?Because in the Arabic language we have the same symbols. And we in English also have multiple uses for the same symbols and words.
Hold your horses. Of course, I will elaborate the lesson first and then I will write the exam later on. The reason why I posted a thread about maths equation terms is to make sure students understand the terms in English then they can solve the exam. Never works the other way around.This seems madness to me. You are testing something your students have been taught. Therefore the teaching materials must contain the terms and their meanings.

Sorry, this probably is not your doing.
You're right, using symbols is more common than words, but I am teaching adult students a basic maths equations in English.I have to write words in the exam ,such as five minus one equals Four even though I admit, it seems odd using words instead of symbols. Using symbols instead of words doesn't help me know if students can read the symbolic language in English or not.If you're creating a maths exam, you won't use words at all in the mathematical questions or equations. It should look like this:
Solve the following problems:
1. 6÷2=
2. 14x12=
3. 126+35=
4. 27-42=
... I have to write words in the exam, such as five minus one equals one ...
