The Distributive Property, Part 3

I can use the distributive property to write equivalent expressions with variables.

13

Expressions with Exponents

I can decide if expressions with exponents are equal by finding the values of the expressions or by understanding what exponents mean.

14

Evaluating Expressions with Exponents

I know how to find the value of expressions that have both an exponent and addition or subtraction.
I know how to find the value of expressions that have both an exponent and multiplication or division.

15

Equivalent Exponential Expressions

I can find solutions to equations with exponents in a list of numbers.

Tape Diagrams and Equations

I can tell whether or not an equation could represent a tape diagram.
I can use a tape diagram to represent an equation.

2

Truth and Equations

I can replace a variable in an equation with a number that makes the equation true, and know that this number is called a “solution” to the equation.

3

Staying in Balance

I can compare the process of removing or grouping weights to keep a hanger diagram balanced and the process of subtracting or dividing numbers to solve an equation.
I can explain what a balanced hanger diagram and a true equation have in common.
I can write equations that could represent the weights on a balanced hanger diagram.

4

Practice Solving Equations
