I was learning some Japanese numbers and to help myself learn I started to do sums with them, but I don't know the Japanese words for add, subtract, times, devoid ect. If someone could list some translations of math words that would be great thanks.

Here are a few.
Plus: Tasu. (this means to add)
Ni tasu hachi wa ju desu. 2+8 is 10.
Hiku:
Go hiku san wa ni desu. 2-5 is 3.
Divide: Waru
Ju waru ni wa go desu. 10 divided by 2 is 5.
Times: Kakeru
Ni kakeru ni wa yon desu. 2 by 2 is five.
decimal pt. "ten"
Eg. 4.23 Yon ten nijuusan
Fractions: Denominator+bun no+numerator
One third: san bun no ichi.

Just some corrections:
Hiku:
Go hiku san wa ni desu. 5-3 is 2.
Times: Kakeru
Ni kakeru ni wa yon desu. 2 by 2 is 4.
The grammar to the left was correct but the numbers to the right were a bit off on these two bits.
