DO NOW
Use the following to answer parts a –d.
7x + 4 – 2x + 8 = 32
a. Put a circle around all the variables.
b. Put a triangle around all the
constants.
c. Put a box around all the terms.
d. Underline all of the coefficients.
Objective
The student will be able to:
• Translate verbal phrases into
algebraic expressions and
• demonstrate 100%
understanding of properties by
correctly matching them to
complete the square.
Standard 1.0 Students identify and use the
arithmetic properties of subsets of integers and
rational, irrational, and real numbers, including
closure properties for the four basic arithmetic
operations where applicable.
Standard 1.1 Students use properties of numbers to
demonstrate whether assertions are true or false.
Standard 25.0 Students use properties of the
number system to judge the validity of results, to
justify each step of a procedure, and to prove or
disprove statements.
Vocabulary
Algebraic expression- an expression
consisting of one or more numbers &
variables along with one or more arithmetic
operations.
Ex: 4x + 3
Variable- symbols used to represent unknown
numbers.
Equation- a mathematical sentence that
contains an equals sign, =. It may contain
numbers, variables, or algebraic expressions
Ex: 2x + 13 = 15

Misconceptions

Seventeen less than a Error: order

17 – n
This says “a
number less
than 17.”
Example
Why is this error
What’s the
made
correct answer?
Why? They took the n – 17
order that the words
were written in and
copied that for the
algebraic expression.
They ignored the fact
that we need 17 less
than the unknown
amount, meaning we
start with an
unknown amount
and then take 17
away from it.
Misconceptions
Example
The quotient of 5

n/5
Describe the
error:
Error: the order
is incorrect. If
we’re finding the
quotient of two
numbers, the
order they’re
stated in tells us
the order in

Why is this What’s the

Why: it’s

Algebraic Expression
Vocabulary
Commutative Property of Addition - the
order in which two numbers are added does not
change their sum.
Ex: 5 + 7 = 7 + 5
Commutative Property of Multiplication –
the order in which two numbers are multiplied
does not change their product.
Ex: 3 ∙10 = 10 ∙3
Vocabulary
Associative Property of Addition – the way
in which three numbers are grouped when
they are added does not change their sum
Ex: (24 + 8) + 2 = 24 + (8 +2)
Associative Property of Multiplication – the
way in which three numbers are grouped when
they are multiplied does not change their
product.
Ex: (9 ∙ 4) ∙ 25 = 9 ∙ (4 ∙ 25)
Vocabulary
Distributive Property – for any numbers a, b, & c:
2(5x + 3) = (2 ∙5x) + (2 ∙ 3)
= 10x + 6
Additive Identity- for any number a the sum of a
and 0 is a.
a +0 = a & 0 + a = a
5+0=5 & 0+5=5
Multiplicative Identity- for any number a the
product of a and 1 is a.
a·1=a & 1·a=a
12 · 1 = 12 & 1 · 12 = 12
Ex 1:
Identify the property shown:
(5 + 3) + 7 = 5 + (3 +7)
Ex 2:
Identify the property shown:
(4 ∙ 3) ∙ 9 = 4 ∙(3 ∙9)
Ex 3:
Identify the property shown:
2+9 =9+2
Ex 4:
Identify the property shown:
5 ∙ 4x = 4x ∙ 5
