- Students will listen to and decide, as a class, which song they would like to work on for the assessment. The options are:
Objectives: The main focus on this lesson is to have students combine like terms (terms that have the same letter) and expanding brackets.
You may have to remind students how to add negative numbers again.
Show the problem 2(a + 4). Ask the class what they think this expression means. Talk about and explain that it is 2 sets of a + 4 or 2
a + 2 4 or 2a + 8.v + 5v + v - v
Explain that in this expression there are 4 like terms so we can actually add/subtract them.6 – 7b + 1 + b
Explain that in the expression above there are 2 pairs of like terms.
(+6, +1)
(-7b, +b)
Let’s don’t forget that the sign in front of the variable is attached with the variable!
