  1. Combining like terms dice activity By Stephanie Gamache

  2. Introduction • Grade Level Knowledge: • Pre-Algebra: Middle-School (Could be altered to work with all levels) • CCSSM 7ee part 1: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients. • Objectives: • Participants will be able to master the concepts of combining like terms through building their own expressions to simplify. • CCSSM Standards: • MP1: Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them • MP2: Reason abstractly and quantitatively • MP5: Use appropriate tools strategically • MP6: Attend to precision • MP7: Look for and Make use of structure.

  3. Prior Knowledge • To complete the activity participants will need to know: • Terms • Variables • Coefficients • Combining like term with exponents • PEMDAS • Basic math skills of addition, subtraction and multiplication.

  4. Materials Materials: • Combining Like Terms Cube Activity worksheet • 2 dice • Pencil • Eraser • Notebook for calculation work (opt) Basic Description: This was an activity for combining like terms using a dice.

  5. Teaching and Learning Strategies • Before completing the activity a lesson on Combining like terms with exponents would occur. • In the lesson the following vocabulary would be covered: Term, variable, exponent, coefficient. • Examples to emulate best practices. (Show alternate option if 1st appears to not help) • Interactive note and homework notebook. • Use Cover, Copy, Compare for practice before hand.

  6. Cover Copy Compare Left Picture: Blank worksheet. Students will complete the work on the left side while the answer is covered on the right. Right Picture: After finishing the problem students will un-cover the answer to check their own work and make corrections as needed.

  7. Directions Combing Like Terms Dice Activity • Participants will roll the dice 2 times for one larger expression. • Write the basic expression corresponding to the numbers they rolled into the boxes provided. • Repeat this 4 times (could be increased by 2s) • Once done they proceed to further combine 2 parts of the original 4 to make newer expressions.

  8. Blank Worksheet

  9. Example of Completed Worksheet

  10. Evaluation Technique • During Activity: • Ask leading probing questions if see mistakes happening. • Watch for correct work to ensure proficiency • After Activity: • If the activity is complete correctly without error then the student is ready to move on. • Possible give a separate assignment for further practice • If the activity is not completed correctly review material and assess again.
