Introduction
Terms combined together by addition or subtraction form algebraic Expressions, Terms are made up of factors – Numbers & alphabets The numerical factor is called the coefficient
Pre-Requisites:
Meaning & Importance of Algebra
Activity:
It is the same as given in intro. This topic is a detailed study about components of algebraic expressions
Real Life Question:
The alphabets form variables of the problem, No.s with the alphabets are general constants chosen out of the situation
Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Terms | Individual components of an expression EX: 3x-2 Terms- 3x & -2 |
| Factors | Every term can be split into factors EX: 3x => Factors: 3 & x |
| Coefficients | The number attached to the variable EX: 3 in 3x |

What you learn in Theory:
About the spare parts of an algebraic expression
What you learn in Practice:
If the coefficient in a term is zero, then the term will not exist. Meaning, that parameter has no effect in the problem
