Combining (Collecting) Like Terms Worksheet

The Combining (Collecting) Like Terms Worksheet is designed to help students build confidence and fluency in simplifying algebraic expressions by grouping and combining terms with the same variable and power. The fluency section focuses on procedural knowledge, giving students structured practice in identifying like terms and correctly simplifying expressions step by step.
 
In the reasoning and problem-solving section, students apply their understanding to more complex situations. This section encourages critical thinking and helps students develop a deeper conceptual understanding of algebraic simplification and its applications in broader contexts.
