This 8th Grade Math Quick Reference Sheet explains what the order of operations is as well as how to evaluate algebraic expressions. This info sheet can be used for students to review after they've already learned the concept or as an already complete notes page to help teach the concept initially. This is also a great resource to give to parents or substitute teachers so they're better able to help their student(s). More 8th Grade Math Reference Sheets available in my store as a BUNDLE (for a

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 & Gui

Students practice writing and evaluating simple algebraic expressions and then simplifying expressions using order of operations. An "order of operations triangle" is given as a visual for seeing just four levels in the order that we do operations (since multiply and divide are on the same level and add and subtract are on the same level). This document is left as a word document so you can edit whatever you need to.

This PowerPoint contains nine examples of solving equations. It walks through each problem listing the steps and how to check the answer. It could be used as follows: 8th grade: Use all nine examples. Examples 1-6 will be a good review of the type of solving equation problems the students should already have learned in 6th and 7th grade. Examples 7-9 progress through distributing and combining like terms as well as a proportion problem. 7th grade: Use examples 1 and 2 as review and then examples

Practice problems for integers, evaluating expressions, and simplifying expressions by distributing and combining like terms.
