Add and Subtract Polynomials - Practice/Group Activity

This is an engaging group activity (for groups of three members) on adding and subtracting polynomials. On each page/slide partners are given three similar examples. The problems are labeled with large animals themed alphabetic letters. On the first page/slide partner A may solve problem A, partner B may solve problem B and partner C - problem C. On the next page/slide partner A will solve problem D, partner B - problem E and partner C will solve problem F, and etc…Partners have the opportunity to collaborate and compare solutions to similar problems. This group activity may turn to competition to become more fun.

There are 2 pages/slides on adding polynomials and the next 2 pages/slides are on subtracting polynomials. The last 4 slides contain more challenging problems where students have to perform both operations - adding and subtracting polynomials to simplify the given expression.

The activity can be used as classwork and independent practice as well.

Answer keys are included.

NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here. I have included 2 PDF files - the one has each slide as a page and the other has two or three slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!
