Identifying Numerical Coefficient
Each worksheet has 20 problems identifying the numerical coefficient of a simple term.
Student Objectives
- Pick out the number that multiplies the variable in a term (like the 7 in 7x).
- Recognize when a coefficient is negative and include the sign (like -3 in -3y).
- Know that a variable by itself has a coefficient of 1 or -1 (like x or -x).
- Tell the coefficient apart from the variable and any exponent (like the 4 in 4m^2).
- Identify the coefficient even when it is written as a fraction or decimal (like 0.5 in 0.5t).
