Distributive Property WORKSHEET
Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.
Distributive Property WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet contains lots of practice expanding single parentheses where students can use whichever method they chose. Questions are divided between four sections of six questions each, all that differ slightly.
All multipliers in the expressions in section A are constants. In section B, all multipliers are variables. Next, section C consists of multipliers such as 3x, and then, expressions in section D contain two variables. Positive and negative terms appear throughout all sections, and there is variety in the order of terms within the brackets.
Finally, section E will extend students as they complete an algebraic multiplication grid.
