Like Terms Worksheet

                    Lesson 1

                                                            6x and 4x are like terms because they share the same variable and power.

2x² and – 2x are not like terms because they do not share the same variable and power.

Problem:                   Group the like terms.

  s × s       s²             s³

  s÷3    s x s x s       1/3 s

1	Group 1	s x s, s²
2	Group 2	s x s x s, s³
3	Group 3	s ÷ 3, s/3

Solution                    Firstly, group the terms having power of 2 i.e. s x s, s²

Step 1: 

                                                            Solution                    Then group the terms having power of 3 i.e. a x a x a, a³

Step 2:      

                                                            Solution                    Then group the terms having division operation i.e. a÷3, a/3

Step 3:     

Solution                    The answer is shown in the table above

Step 4:

Complete                                                    

                                                            Try two practice problems:  

Group the like terms

  z x z       z²       

  z²z       z³              

A.	Group 1
B.	Group 2
