A worksheet on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing monomials. The four operations between monomials are explained and introduced through examples and then a set of exercises is given. Solutions to the exercises are included.
Help your students master the core rules of algebra with this comprehensive, ready-to-print Operations with Monomials Worksheet 2 packet!
Designed as a direct follow-up or a standalone practice set, this resource features a carefully scaffolded progression that challenges students to apply the laws of indices and operations rules across 6 distinct sections. Students will move systematically from quick matching warm-ups to multi-step order of operations and backward-chaining algebraic logic puzzles.
What’s Included in This Resource?
- Section 1: Column Matching Warm-up – A low-stakes matching table that tests conceptual understanding of adding like terms versus multiplying indices.
- Section 2: Finding Sums & Differences – Exercises targeting addition and subtraction, including negative coefficients, fractional terms, and distributive signs.
- Section 3: Multiplying Monomials – Practice utilizing the product law of indices with positive coefficients, negative coefficients, and squared monomials.
- Section 4: Dividing Monomials – Division challenges involving quotients, negative coefficients, and algebraic fractions that result in negative indices.
- Section 5: Order of Operations with Monomials – High-level calculation strings that require students to apply BIDMAS/BODMAS rules to algebraic terms.
- Section 6: Fill-in-the-Blank Missing Terms – Algebraic logic puzzles where students must work backward to discover the missing monomial coefficient or variable index inside an empty box.
Key Skills Covered
- Combining like terms (Addition and Subtraction)
- Multiplication Law of Indices
- Division Law of Indices and Algebraic Fractions
- Order of Operations (BIDMAS/BODMAS with variables)
- Deductive algebraic reasoning and working backwards

Monomials and Operations Bundle | Intro to Polynomials | 8th Grade Algebra 1
Three worksheets on monomials. In the first worksheet the following notions are defined and explained through examples: monomial, coefficient and literal part of a monomial, degree of a monomial with respect to a variable, degree of a monomial, similar monomials (like terms), equal opposite monomials, opposite monomials. Then there are exercises. The second worksheet is on deciding whether a given algebraic expression is a monomial or not. The third worksheet is on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing monomials. The four operations between monomials are explained and introduced through examples and then a set of exercises is given. Solutions to all worksheets are included. Give your students a rock-solid foundation for algebra and index notation with this **Monomials and Operations Worksheets Bundle!** Before students can confidently factor equations or simplify complex polynomials, they must completely master individual algebraic terms. This carefully scaffolded, 3-worksheet bundle systematically transitions students from identifying terms to executing multi-step algebraic operations and solving logic puzzles.
