About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use the distributive property to expand and factor expressions.
  • Students use commutative and associative properties to regroup and combine like terms.
  • Students justify whether expressions are equivalent for every value of a variable.

How to use

Use after introducing properties of operations. Have students annotate their rewrites, then discuss why matching at one variable value does not prove equivalence.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

6.EE.A.3

Use properties of operations to write equivalent expressions, such as rewriting 3(2 + x) as 6 + 3x.

Use properties of operations to rewrite expressions without changing their values.

Rewrite the Survey Notes

The school newspaper is surveying student opinions. Complete each rewrite or choose an equivalent expression. Equivalent expressions have the same value for every allowed value of the variable.

1.
Each of 4 classes submits x online responses and 7 paper responses. Which expression is equivalent to 4(x + 7)?
  • A. 4x + 28
  • B. 11x
  • C. 4x + 7
  • D. x + 28
2.
An editor writes the response count as x + 16 + 9. Regroup the constants and complete the equivalent expression.

x + 16 + 9 = x +  

3.
Three survey teams each collect 5 stacks of n response slips. Which rewrite of 3(5n) uses the associative property of multiplication?
  • A. (3 × 5)n
  • B. 3(5 + n)
  • C. (3 + 5)n
  • D. 3 × 5 + n
