What are terms, factors, and coefficients in algebraic expressions? | 6th grade | Khan Academy

This video explains what the words term, factor, and coefficient mean. Think of an expression as a sentence. A sentence has parts, and so does an algebraic expression.

Grade 6th on Khan Academy: By the 6th grade, you're becoming a sophisticated mathemagician. You'll be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide any non-negative numbers (including decimals and fractions) that any grumpy ogre throws at you. Mind-blowing ideas like exponents (you saw these briefly in the 5th grade), ratios, percents, negative numbers, and variable expressions will start being in your comfort zone. Most importantly, the algebraic side of mathematics is a whole new kind of fun! And if that is not enough, we are going to continue with our understanding of ideas like the coordinate plane (from 5th grade) and area while beginning to derive meaning from data! (Content was selected for this grade level based on a typical curriculum in the United States.)

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom.

Missed 6th grade cause of the pandemic now on 7th grade and I have no idea what's going on in math ever since I jumped from 5th grade to 7th.
