Constant Detectives

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on finding constants within algebraic expressions. Each problem presents an expression like “3x + 7” or “5y² – 4y + 8,” and students must identify the constant term, which is the number that stands alone without a variable. This reinforces an important skill in algebra-distinguishing between different components of expressions.

By practicing the identification of constants, students improve their ability to dissect and understand algebraic expressions. This foundational skill is necessary for simplifying and solving equations as students progress in their algebra studies. The worksheet also helps reinforce the importance of constants in equations and expressions, which plays a role in solving for unknowns. It strengthens their attention to detail and algebraic reasoning.
