About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use the distributive property to expand and factor expressions.
  • Students use properties of operations to combine like terms and rewrite expressions.
  • Students justify why two expressions are or are not equivalent.

How to use

Have students complete the rewrites independently, then compare strategies. Discuss the final error analysis using the meaning of each term.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

6.EE.A.3

Kitchen Orders: Equivalent Expressions

Rewrite weekly restaurant orders using properties of operations.

Rewrite the Orders

Equivalent expressions have the same value for every allowed value of the variable. Complete each rewrite or choose the requested expression.

1.
The restaurant orders 7 cases of containers. Each case holds x large containers and 4 small containers. Which expression is equivalent to 7(x + 4)?
  • A. 7x + 28
  • B. 7x + 4
  • C. x + 28
  • D. 11x
2.
Each of 5 delivery crates contains 2 bags of rice and n bags of beans. Distribute the factor to rewrite the total number of bags.

5(2 + n) =   +  n

3.
For one weekly order, the kitchen counts (x + 16) + 9 containers. Which rewrite changes only the grouping, not the order, of the addends?
  • A. (16 + x) + 9
  • B. (x + 9) + 16
  • C. x + (16 × 9)
  • D. x + (16 + 9)
