Using Properties of Operations to Simplify Expressions

Starter: Complete the Canvas assignment (in Assignments, not quizzes) 7EE1 Adding and Subtracting Expressions. Then re-take the Canvas practice quiz 7EE1 Simplifying Expressions.

Today's objective is to use properties of operations to simplify expressions. We'll use the name cards today to choose who gets to tell the next step in simplifying each of the following. Anything we don't finish in class will be homework. 

  1. p+6+p-10
  2. -3b+6b
  3. -5n+7n
  4. 8+9x+2x+1
  5. -6x-3x
  6. -4n+4(1-3n)
  7. 6p-7(1+7p)
Apologies for the delayed posting: it's been a busy week. Videos or slides may be posted later to show the process students used to practice.
