Teaching guide

What students learn

Apply properties of operations to write equivalent algebraic expressions, such as expanding or factoring.

How to teach it

Teach the agreed order (brackets, then ร— and รท left to right, then + and - left to right) and why it removes ambiguity, with worked contrasts.

Worked example
9 + 10 ร— 6 - 4 =
Answer: 65
Why: ร— first: 10ร—6=60, then 9+60โˆ’4=65

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Working strictly left to right and doing addition before multiplication.
