- Use the distributive property to expand expressions with parentheses.
- Combine like terms to simplify expressions with variables.
- Rewrite expressions that include fractions by simplifying and combining terms correctly.
Expanding Expressions
- Practice using the distributive property to remove parentheses in algebra expressions.
- Multiply a number or variable across terms inside parentheses, including with fractions.
- Keep track of positive and negative signs while expanding and simplifying.
Factoring Expressions
- Practice pulling out the greatest common factor when the coefficients are fractions.
- Rewrite an expression as a product using the distributive property in reverse.
- Simplify the factored form so the numbers and fractions are in lowest terms.
About these worksheets
These worksheets explore number concepts essential for middle school math, including square roots, cube roots, rational and irrational numbers, laws of exponents, scientific notation, radicals, and powers of ten. Students practice estimating radical values, simplifying expressions with exponents, and performing operations in scientific notation. Aligned with eighth grade Common Core standards, these resources build a strong number sense foundation for high school math.
Identifying Rational and Irrational Numbers
- Decide whether a number is rational or irrational.
- Recognize that fractions, integers, and whole numbers are rational because they can be written as a ratio of integers.
- Tell that terminating decimals and repeating decimals are rational numbers.
- Identify common irrational numbers like pi and square roots that do not simplify to a fraction.
Rewriting Using the Laws of Exponents
- Rewrite expressions with exponents using the product and quotient rules.
- Simplify powers raised to powers by multiplying exponents.
- Rewrite expressions with zero and negative exponents using reciprocals.
Solving Using the Laws of Exponents
- Practice rewriting negative exponents as fractions (e.g., 3⁻² becomes 1/3²)
- Multiply powers with the same base by adding their exponents, even when some exponents are negative
- Raise fractions to a power by applying the exponent to both the numerator and denominator
- Simplify expressions step by step to reach a final whole number or fraction
Solving with Negative Powers
- Rewrite negative exponents as reciprocals so the exponent becomes positive.
- Evaluate expressions with negative powers to get the correct fraction or decimal value.
- Work with negative exponents on whole-number bases, fractions, and powers of 10.
Finding Relative Value with Powers of Ten
- Compare two powers of ten and decide which one is larger or smaller.
- Figure out how many times bigger one power of ten is than another.
- Connect powers of ten to place value shifts, like moving the decimal left or right.
