In this distributive property activity, students simplify 36 expressions. Students add and multiply variables using the distributive property.
In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders use the distributive property to solve multi-step equations. The one page interactive worksheet contains five multiple choice questions and is self checking.
Students explore the distributive property. In this algebra lesson plan, students are given Fruit Loops or other manipulatives and the class is divided in half. Each half of the class completes part of the equation to show that both sides of the mathematical equation are equal when the distributive property is used.
In this distributive property learning exercise, students simplify 10 expressions. Eight expressions involve students multiplying with negative numbers over the parenthesis.
Students discover how to multiply polynomials using the Distributive Properties and the FOIL method. They see how to use polynomial multiplication in real-life settings. After a lecture/demo, students practice solving these equations on their own.
In this distributive property worksheet, students solve and complete 12 different problems that include using the distributive property to solve. First, they name the coefficient of each terms and list the like terms. Then, students use the distributive property to determine each product and to rewrite each expression.
In this distributive property worksheet, learners solve and complete 26 different problems that include using the distributive property to complete. First, they use the distributive property to rewrite each given expression. Then, students simplify each expression if possible.
