1. what is one thing in this lesson that you think someone may struggle with and why?

Explanation:

1. Add: Combine, Total, Sum. These words convey the idea of bringing numbers or things together to find a total amount, similar to "add".
2. Subtract: Deduct, Minus, Take - away. They all imply the operation of removing one quantity from another, like "subtract".
3. Multiply: Times, Product, Repeated - addition. "Times" is another way to express multiplication in language, "product" is the result of multiplication, and "repeated - addition" is the concept behind multiplication.
4. Divide: Partition, Split, Share. These words suggest breaking a whole into parts or distributing something equally, which is related to the operation of division.
