Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Determine If Expressions Are Equivalent. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Use distributive property to find equivalent expressions (4(2x + 3) as 8x + 12).

Factor to find an equivalent expression using distributive property 16x + 24y = 8(2x + 3y).

Combine like terms to find an equivalent expression.

Use Associative property to find equivalent expressions (4 x d x 5 = 20d or 4d x 5 or 5d x 4)

Use Commutative property to find equivalent expressions (d x 5 = 30 so 5d = 30).

Determine if expressions are equivalent by applying knowledge of rational numbers (1/3p = 3/9p)

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

Are 6/8 and 3/4 the same and how can you tell? What is the Commutative Property? What is the Associative Property? What is the difference between a factor and the greatest common factor? Explain the concept of collecting like terms using your own example.

After the Game

Based on what you learned in the game, what is another way to write 4(2x + 3)? What is another way to write 16x + 24y? How are the Commutative Property and the Associative Property alike/different? Give an example that demonstrates how the distributive property works.
