Combining+Like+Terms

Combining Like Terms- Merit 8 / Honors 7
A few basic examples of applying the distributive property and combining like terms to simplify expressions.

- This has one paper with distributive property practice problems, and a second with simplifying expressions by distributing and combining like terms. I plan to use this with the "sage and scribe" method...where one student says what to write and the other records it, and then they switch.

Six polygons for students to write a simplified expression to represent the perimeter...whole number and integer coefficients.

- A set of problems for calculating a simplified expression to represent the perimeter of polygons. There are two of each type of polygon...one with integer coefficients, and one with fraction coefficients.

-Extra practice for combining like terms and simplifying expressions using the distributive property.
