Property
This resource focuses on expanding expressions using the distributive property and factoring linear expressions. It includes a clear learning objective, worked examples for both expansion and factoring processes, and practice problems for students to reinforce their understanding. The examples illustrate how to distribute a multiplier across terms within parentheses and how to identify and factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) in expressions. A word bank is provided to assist students in their practice. Additionally, a challenge problem encourages students to create their own expressions, apply the learned concepts, and articulate their understanding.
