Identifying Like Terms
2
Open Ended
What do you think it means for terms to be alike?
3
Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
4
I can identify terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants in algebraic expression.
5
Term: a number, a variable, or a product or quotient of numbers and variables
6
Variable: a symbol, usually a letter, used to represent a number in mathematical expressions or sentences
Constant: A term without a variable
Coefficient: The numerical factor of a term that contains a variable
7
Terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. Example: 5x and 6x are like terms.

Multiple Choice
Which term below is a like term with the following?
−4x3
HINT: Like terms have same variables to the same powers
−4x2
x3

What are the coefficients in the following expression?
HINT: Remember coefficients are numerical factors of a multiplication expression that contains a variable. Also, n = 1 x n.

Like Terms are Terms that contain the same variable to the same power.
Constants are Terms without a Variable. Constant terms are also like terms.

Homework: Play Prodigy for 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat each night until you are done with the game.
Next class, we will continue identifying terms, like terms, coefficients, and constants. We will begin adding and subtracting linear expressions with rational coefficients.
