Simplify Expressions, Like Terms
6 lessons, about 15 days with the quiz, review and test, in one download: Combining Like Terms, Distributive Property, Expressions with Rational Coefficients, Adding & Subtracting Linear Expressions, Rewriting Expressions, Writing Expressions from Words.
6 lessons, in teaching order
Built to 7.EE.A.1, 7.EE.A.2, 7.EE.B.4. Each lesson has guided notes, practice, an exit ticket, a homework page, worked answer keys and a click-by-click Teacher Deck.
- Lesson 1 Combining Like Terms Free on TPT I can simplify linear expressions with fraction, decimal and negative coefficients: clear the ( ) first, subtracting every term of a group or multiplying by a negative, then combine like terms.
- Lesson 2 Distributive Property I can expand a product when the number in front is a negative, a fraction or a decimal, and factor a sum by taking out the GCF (a negative GCF too), checking each by expanding.
- Lesson 3 Expressions with Rational Coefficients I can combine fraction coefficients over one denominator, combine decimal coefficients, and expand a fraction or decimal times a ( ), multiplying tops by tops and bottoms by bottoms.
- Lesson 4 Adding & Subtracting Linear Expressions I can add and subtract whole linear expressions: drop a ( ) after a plus sign, change the sign of every term in a ( ) after a minus sign, then combine like terms.
- Lesson 5 Rewriting Expressions I can rewrite an expression as a sum or as a product, write a percent change as one multiplier such as 1.05a, and explain what each form tells me about the problem.
- Lesson 6 Writing Expressions from Words I can write an expression for a situation: name the letter, write a starting amount as a constant and an amount for each unit as a rate term, subtract what is lost or spent, and keep the order for "less than".
