Algebraic Expressions

This week we will be working on algebraic expressions and combining like terms. We will have a quiz Wednesday on the following key words. Students will need to be able to sort them according to operation. Students glued a sheet like this into their composition notebooks yesterday. This can be used as a study guide.
