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.

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
