• Dot talk (write the • 1.3- Combining
answer once you have Like Terms
it)
• Reminder: You will turn in your notes (probably next
week!)- make sure you’re taking notes!
Thoughts from the exit ticket
• If you have questions- ask them!

• Distribution is multiplication, not addition

5+2(3x-4)
Distributive Property (Area Model)
 Combining like terms

•Each part of an expression is a term.

5x2 + 4x2 + 2x + 6x + 3 + 5

•The number in front of a variable is called a

coefficient.
On your piece of paper & in your group
• Simplify what you see

• How did you decide what went together?

Combining Like Terms in Real Life (you do it every day)
Combining like terms in Algebra

•Terms with the same variable to the same

exponent/power are called like terms. Only
like terms can be combined.

5x2 + 4x2 + 2x + 6x + 3 + 5
9x2 + 8x + 8

Worksheet…
• Front page- you will need to get up and get terms from the cups up
front. Get them when you need them, not all at once.
• Glue is available in the bins on your desk groups
• Back page- we’ve only covered questions like #9-10
• We will finish the rest of this tomorrow!
