Mathematical Journey/Combining Like Terms/Study Plan

 Plan and/or Tasks: '''

Prerequisites: Learners should know how to combine signed numbers. 

Experience: 


 * 1) Read the information and examples for combining like terms.
 * 2) Using the first example, redo it on another piece of paper without looking at the answer. Then, check your work.

Key Questions (Critical Thinking Questions)


 * 1) Simplify: 2ab + 7ba (Apply the Commutative Property for Multiplication to get like terms)
 * 2) Give an example of a term that could be added to 4ab.
 * 3) 3x2 -4xy +8y2 + (? ? ?) = x2-7xy +12y2 4. 3a – 2ab + 4ac – 14b + ( ? ? ? ? ?) = -6ab - 8ac + 20b + 5c 5. Give a real-life example as a model for combining like terms.
