Identifying Parts of an Expression

6.EE.2b
This activity should be completed after teaching the following vocabulary terms:

Term= A number, variable, product, or quotient in an expression. A term is not a sum or


difference. Example: In the expression 9k2 + 4m + 3, the terms are: 9k2, 4m, and 3.

Coefficient= A numerical factor in a term of an algebraic expression. In other words, a


coefficient is a number used to multiply a variable. Example: 4 is a coefficient in the
expression 4z + 7. If a variable is by itself, the coefficient of it equals 1, like in the
expression m + 9.

Constant= A number with a value that is always the same. Example: 19 is a constant in
the expression 8n + 19.

(Variable and Exponent should have been taught in a previous unit but reviewed in this unit.)

ACTIVITY DIRECTIONS:

This activity can be used as a station activity, partner activity, homework sheet, or as an exit
ticket.

Station Activity: Cut out the cards and have students draw one at a time and record the card
number and answer on the recording sheet. The recording sheet has spots for them to record 10
answers from 10 cards. You can copy the recording sheet back-to-back so they can answer 20
cards.

Partner Activity: Same directions as the station activity, but copy enough sheets so that each
set of partners has a set of cards to answer. You may want to only give them one of the three
sheets.

Homework Sheet: You can print out either the first sheet or first two sheets (and copy double-
sided) for each student to give as homework. Students can record their answers in the space
under the given expression.

Exit Ticket: The exit ticket slips are on page 3. Print and cut out each card and hand one card
to each student along with an exit ticket slip. They fill out what card number they were given
and record the answer to their card on the exit ticket.
