This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to rewrite algebraic expressions using the distributive property.

Objectives

Students will be able to

  • rewrite a given algebraic expression using the distributive property of multiplication over addition,
  • rewrite a given algebraic expression using the distributive property of multiplication over subtraction,
