Writing Expressions
Practice writing algebraic expressions from written phrases. The objective is to consider two seemingly similar phrases, write them as algebraic expressions, and then simplify using the order of operations. Learners are challenged to...
Curated OER
Properties of Operations as Strategies
Which property is shown? Scholars examine 10 multiplication equations to determine which property each displays. The properties aren't written for them, so this is a little more challenging. There are no numbers over 12 here.
Curated OER
Properties of Operations as Strategies
These multiplication problems give scholars a chance to display their knowledge of math properties. They use the zero property to solve one problem, write a related multiplication fact for a division problem, and complete a final...
