Expression Frenzy
expressions · adding and subtracting like terms in linear expressions
To add and subtract like terms in a linear expression [7.EE.A.1].
Expression Frenzy is a Grade 7 algebra card game for combining like terms in linear expressions. Term cards determine the variable parts while playing cards supply positive or negative coefficients, creating a new expression on every turn. Students write the expression and simplify it, so correctly representing the cards is just as important as combining the like terms.
Use it for partner or small-group review when students need repeated practice with coefficients, signs, and like terms. The two-part scoring system can help teachers separate errors in forming an expression from errors in simplifying it.
