What is the difference between evaluate and calculate in maths?

Answer 1

In mathematics, "calculate" typically refers to performing specific operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, to find a numerical result. On the other hand, "evaluate" involves determining the value of a mathematical expression by substituting specific values for variables and simplifying the expression to obtain a numerical answer. While calculating focuses on the process of arithmetic operations, evaluating involves analyzing and simplifying mathematical expressions to find their values.

Answer 2

Evaluate means to do whatever needs to be done. Like simplifying a fraction or a percentage conversion from a decimal.

Calculate is to solve, like what times what or divide etc
