This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important aspects of the task and its potential use. VDOE provides a lesson plan, activities, remediation, and an exit slip to help students understand and correctly apply the distributive property.

In this Illustrative Math resource, students must transform expressions using the distributive, commutative and associative properties to decide which expressions are equivalent. The Virginia Department of Education extension activity titled, "Translate and Evaluate Expressions" directs students to represent verbal quantitative situations algebraically using a matching activity, graphic organizer, and teacher lesson plan.

Represent algebraic expressions using concrete materials.  Use the order of operations and the properties of real numbers to evaluate expressions for given replacement values of variables.Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Fallan Lee-Brown teach about evaluating algebraic expressions using the order of operations.

This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Fallan Lee-Brown teach about evaluating expressions with replacements using the order of operations.

In this activity, students use their knowledge of variable substitution and one-step equations to find the missing values in similar puzzles.

The student will evaluate algebraic expressions for given replacement values of the variable. This assignment includes negitive numbers and a few tricky questions. It is reccommended to review GEMDAS prior to the assignment. There are 8 equestions total and when answered, a few pieces of the digital picture will reveal itself. The digital picture will have the answer to the joke "Why do Giraffes get Bad Grades?"
