Description

We need enough fuel to launch the rocket into space! But too much or too little fuel will ruin the launch. In this game by Zapzapmath, students will identify when two expressions are equivalent.

Vocabulary Words

equivalent expressions

commutative property

associative property

distributive property

Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Determine If Expressions Are Equivalent. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Use Associative property to find equivalent expressions (4 x d x 5 = 20d or 4d x 5 or 5d x 4)

Use Commutative property to find equivalent expressions (d x 5 = 30 so 5d = 30).

Use distributive property to find equivalent expressions (4(2x + 3) as 8x + 12).

Factor to find an equivalent expression using distributive property 16x + 24y = 8(2x + 3y).

Combine like terms to find an equivalent expression.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

In this game, you will help a rocket ship take off by deciding if two expressions are equivalent - what does it mean for two expressions to be equivalent? What is x*x? What is x + x? How is adding x + x different from multiplying x times x? What is 2*a*3?

After the Game

Which operations are true for the associative property? Which operations are true for the commutative property? Why is the following expression 2*a(3*a*4)=24a NOT equivalent?
