Operations with Monomials

WATCH THE FULL ACTIVITY VIDEO

⚠️ This material is an adapted worksheet with activities (it is not a complete theoretical workbook on the topic).

Number of activities included:

6 adapted activities + complete answer key, covering the concepts of operations with monomials, including identifying monomials, recognizing like terms, and performing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of monomials through visual examples and progressively structured activities.

Target audience:

Students in Middle School and High School, Specialized Educational Support (AEE), remedial education, and Special Education.

Specially designed for students who have already developed reading skills and are beginning their study of Algebra, requiring strong visual support to understand the rules for operations with monomials in a gradual and meaningful way.

Also recommended for students with Mild to Moderate Intellectual Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Down syndrome, learning difficulties, and students who require curriculum adaptations in Mathematics.

Format:

Printable full-color PDF featuring strong visual support, simple language, short instructions, progressive activities, and a complete answer key. The resource includes worked examples, visual diagrams, and objective exercises that make operations with monomials easier to understand.

For Teachers:

This resource was developed as a practical classroom activity and can be used as:

✔ Introduction to the topic
✔ Learning reinforcement
✔ Adapted activity
✔ Adapted assessment
✔ AEE resource
✔ Psychoeducational intervention

Key Features:

✅ Teaches operations with monomials through a progressive approach, beginning with identifying what is and is not a monomial.

✅ Introduces the concept of like terms, helping students understand the rules for adding and subtracting monomials.

✅ Provides step-by-step visual examples for multiplying and dividing monomials, making algebraic rules easier to understand.

✅ Develops algebraic reasoning through pattern recognition and practical application of operational rules.

✅ Includes a variety of activity types, such as classifying algebraic expressions, multiple-choice questions, solving operations, and guided examples.

✅ Follows a progressive learning sequence: identify monomials → recognize like terms → add and subtract → multiply → divide monomials.

✅ Uses simple language, clear instructions, and strong visual support to reduce cognitive load and promote student independence throughout the activities.

✅ Builds a concrete understanding of Algebra before introducing more abstract mathematical concepts.

✅ Suitable for use in mainstream classrooms, AEE services, remedial instruction, or one-on-one support.

✅ Ready to use as an adapted assessment.

✅ Saves teachers approximately 3 hours and 5 minutes of planning time.
