Use Properties of Operations to Generate Equivalent ExpressionCommon Core: Engage New York7.EE.A.1 and 7.EE.A.2

What does 7.EE.A.1 cover?

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.

What does 7.EE.A.2 cover?

Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms in a problem context can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related.

Focus 6 Solving Equations Learning Goal

Students understand that rewriting an expression in

different forms in a problem context can shed light on the

problem and how the quantities in it are related.

Today, my learning target is to…• Use an area/rectangular array model and distributive

property to write products as sums and sums as products.

• Use the fact that the opposite of a number is the same as multiplying by -1 to write the opposite of a sum in standard form.

• Recognize that rewriting an expression in a different form can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related.

Lesson 3- Math Standard 7.EE.A.2Writing Products as Sums and Sums as Products

OPENING EXERCISE (5 minutes)Purpose: To create tape diagrams to represent the problem and solution.

Solve the problem using a tape diagram.A sum of money was shared between George and Brian in a ratio of 3:4. If the sum of money was $56.00, how much did George get?

Opening Exercise- Solutions

Label one unit by “ " in the diagram. 𝑥

Opening- Solutions• What does the rectangle labeled represent? 𝑥

8 units, 8 boxes, or 8 rectangles.

• Draw in 8 smaller rectangles in the unit to represent $8.

• Is it always necessary to draw in every one unit for all tape diagrams?

No, it is unnecessary and tedious most of the time to draw every one unit. Tape diagrams should be representative of problems and should be used as a visual tool to help find unknown quantities.

Teacher Directed Example 1 (3 minutes)• Represent 3+2 using squares for units.

• Represent +2 using the same size square for a unit as above. 𝑥• Draw a rectangular array for 3(3+2).

• Draw an array for 3(x+2). • How many squares are in the shaded rectangle? • How many rectangles are in the non-shaded rectangle? • Record the total number of squares and rectangles in the center of

each rectangle.

About how big is ? 𝑥Approximately six units.

Relevant Vocabulary

Distributive Property: The distributive property can be written as the identity: 𝑎( + )= +𝑏 𝑐 𝑎𝑏 𝑎𝑐

(for all numbers , , and )𝑎 𝑏 𝑐

Student Practice Exercise 1(3 minutes)

Fill in the blanks.

Exercise 1 with Distributive Property- Solution

• Is it necessary to draw in the squares in the diagram to determine the number of square units?

• Is it easier to just imagine the 176 and 55 square units?

NO!

YES!

Teacher Directed Example 2 (5 minutes)- Show students representations of the expression with

tape diagrams or arrays

What do you notice about all of these expressions ?

Exercise 2 (5 minutes)- Observations and discussion about the representations of the expression with tape diagrams or arrays• What can we conclude about all of these expressions?

• How does ?

• How do you know the three representations of the expressions are equivalent?

• Under which conditions would each representation be most useful?

• Which model best represents the distributive property?

They are all equivalent.

Three groups of (x+y) is the same as multiplying 3 with the x and the y.

The arithmetic, algebraic, and graphic representations are equivalent. Problem (c) is the standard form of problems (b) and (d). Problem (a) is the equivalent of problems (b) and (c) before the distributive property is applied. Problem (d) is the expanded form before collecting like terms.

Either because it is clear to see that there are 3 groups of which is the product of the sum of or that the 2nd expression is the sum of

Problem (d)

Teacher Directed Exercise 3 (5 minutes)• Find an equivalent expression by modeling with a rectangular

array and applying the distributive property 5(8 +3). 𝑥

• Write the array in standard form.

• Substitute the variable with the value of 2.

• Solve the expression.

Student Practice Exercise 2 (3 minutes)-

For parts (a) and (b), draw a model for each expression and apply the distributive property to expand each expression. Substitute the given numerical values to demonstrate equivalency.

Exercise 2 (3 min)- Independent Student Practice

• For parts (c) and (d), apply the distributive property. Substitute the given numerical values to demonstrate equivalency.

Teacher Directed Exercise 4 (3 min)• Rewrite the expression, , as a sum using the distributive property.

Student Practice Exercise 3 (3 min)

Teacher Directed Example 5 (3 min)

Model the following exercise with the use of rectangular arrays. • What is a verbal explanation of ?

• Model the expression

• Expand the expression

There are 4 groups of the sum of .

The expanded expression is .

Student Practice Exercise 4 (3 min)Expand the expression from a product to a sum so as to remove grouping symbols using an area model and the repeated use of distributive property: .

Area Model Repeated use of distributive property

Teacher Directed Example 6 (5 min)• Read the problem aloud with the class and begin by using

different lengths to represent to come up with expressions with numerical values.

A square fountain area with side length is bordered by a single row of square tiles as shown. Express the total number of tiles needed in terms of three different ways.

• What if ? How many tiles would you need to border the fountain?

• What is ? How many tiles would you need to border the fountain?

• What pattern/generalization do you notice?

• You have 2 minutes to create as many expressions you can think of to find the total number of tiles in the border in terms of .

Be prepared to share your expression with the class.

There is a need for 20 tiles to border the fountain- 4 for each side and 1 for each corner.

There needs to be 12 tiles to border the fountain- 2 for each side and 1 for each corner.

Answers may vary.

There is one tile for each corner and four times the amount of tiles enough to fit one side length.

Example 5 Discussion: Of the shared expressions, which one would you use and why?

Sample responses of created expressions….

is useful because it is the most simplified, concise and in standard form.

Closing (3 min)• What are some of the methods used to write products as

sums?

• In terms of a rectangular array and equivalent expressions, what does the product form represent, and what does the sum form represent?

We used repeated use of the distributive property and rectangular arrays.

The total area represents the expression written in sum form, and the length and width represent the expressions written in product form.

Exit Ticket (3 min)- Lesson 3Writing Products as Sums and Sums as ProductsA square fountain area with side length is bordered by two rows of square tiles along its perimeter as shown. Express the total number of grey tiles (only in the second rows) needed in terms of three different ways.

Exit Ticket - Lesson 3 Solution- Writing Products as Sums and Sums as Products

Today, I achieved my learning target by…

• Using an area/rectangular array model and distributive property to write products as sums and sums as products.

• Using the fact that the opposite of a number is the same as multiplying by -1 to write the opposite of a sum in standard form.

• Recognizing that rewriting an expression in a different form can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related.
