Description
This is an activity that I created for my students to find the mistake when written expressions have been translated into algebraic expressions incorrectly. I used common errors when creating the expressions to help them see the mistakes commonly made.
I had the students work alone to solve the problems first, and then share with their groups. If there was any discrepancy, they looked in the answer folder on their tables to see the correct answer. I rotated around monitoring and helping as needed. It was terrific to see the discussions that were going on! This really worked well!

CCSS6.EE.A.1
Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
CCSS6.EE.A.2
Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
CCSS6.EE.A.3
Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + πΉ) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3πΉ; apply the distributive property to the expression 24πΉ + 18πΊ to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4πΉ + 3πΊ); apply properties of operations to πΊ + πΊ + πΊ to produce the equivalent expression 3πΊ.
CCSS6.EE.A.4
Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). For example, the expressions πΊ + πΊ + πΊ and 3πΊ are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number πΊ stands for.
CCSS6.EE.B.5
Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.
