About this resource
This quiz thoroughly covers the fundamental concepts of simplifying algebraic expressions, making it ideal for middle school mathematics students in grades 6-8. The content systematically builds from basic like term combination through more complex operations including the distributive property and polynomial multiplication. Students need a solid understanding of variables, coefficients, and constants, along with the ability to recognize like terms based on matching variable parts. The quiz requires mastery of integer operations, particularly with negative numbers, and demands careful attention to the distributive property when dealing with expressions like -9(14p - 8) - 4p. Students must also demonstrate fluency in evaluating expressions by substituting given values and translating written phrases into algebraic notation, skills that form the foundation for all future algebraic manipulation. Created by Jennifer Seidler, a Mathematics teacher in the US who teaches grades 6 and 8, this comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes throughout the algebraic expressions unit. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding before moving to equation solving, or use individual questions as warm-up problems to reinforce daily lessons on combining like terms. The varied question types make it excellent for homework assignments that provide students with diverse practice opportunities, while the progression from simple to complex problems supports differentiated instruction needs. This quiz aligns with Common Core standards 6.EE.3, 6.EE.4, 7.EE.1, and 8.EE.7, ensuring students develop the algebraic reasoning skills essential for success in high school mathematics courses.
