pdf Evaluating Expressions

This worksheet focuses on evaluating algebraic expressions by substituting a given value for a variable and simplifying accurately. Students evaluate expressions for two different assigned values of $x$, which requires careful attention to order of operations, use of parentheses, and correct handling of exponents. The problems include linear expressions, expressions with multiple terms, and expressions involving powers, helping students strengthen procedural accuracy.

Expressions are structured to require students to substitute first and then simplify, rather than simplifying symbolically in advance. By working with two different values of the same variable, students reinforce the idea that the value of an expression depends on the chosen input and gain fluency evaluating a variety of expression forms.
