This is an engaging full lesson for combining like terms (simplifying expressions) that involves candy to help students learn the concept. In the task students use starbursts and skittles to explore the concept of combining like terms. The notes part gives students the opportunity to solidify the concept using algebraic expressions.

This FREE PowerPoint / Google Slides Lesson (both options available) can be used on its own or along with my Combining Like Terms Full Lesson | Task/Activity & Guided Notes. It could also go along with some of my other combining like terms materials which are available in my Combining Like Terms Bundle. Happy Teaching!

NOTE: If using prior to learning integer operations, don't use the last page.
