What’s on the Algebra Vocabulary poster
The rule, 4 worked examples, and the mistake everyone makes.
- An expression is made of terms separated by + and −. Each term has a coefficient and…
- 7x² + 3x − 5
- Terms = 7x², 3x, −5
- Coefficient = 7 and 3
- Variable = x
- Constant = −5
- Common mistake: the term is 5 → the term is −5
An expression has no equals sign. Add one and it becomes an equation.

- Who is the Algebra Vocabulary poster for?
- Algebra Vocabulary is filed under 6th Grade (ages 11–12), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting math, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.
- When should you use the Algebra Vocabulary poster?
- Label the parts of an expression before doing anything with it. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Algebra Vocabulary belongs on the wall where that math work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Algebra Vocabulary?
- Absolute Value, Adding Integers and All Four Quadrants sit alongside Algebra Vocabulary in the 6th Grade set. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Absolute ValueAdding IntegersAll Four Quadrants
- Is the Algebra Vocabulary poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Algebra Vocabulary downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the 6th Grade set. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Algebra Vocabulary poster print at?
- Algebra Vocabulary is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Algebra Vocabulary loses nothing.Printing guide
