Building Expressions

Activity Overview

In this lesson students view expressions as objects in their own right and interpret the form and structure of an algebraic expression. Students focus on comparing expressions and establish a foundation for the definition of equivalent expressions. Students also consider how to verify that expressions are equivalent by using the associative and commutative properties of addition and multiplication as well as the distributive property.
