What educators are saying
Great activity for students to practice with distributive property and like terms. I also love how the problems at the bottom give students a bit more of a challenge. The students also loved the riddle at the end.
My students love a riddle. There are so many positives about this sheet. First the answers are on the same page as the questions. If a student is still not sure, the riddle at the bottom will help decide where to place the answer. Good support through a difficult concept for many of my students.
Description
In this activity, students first practice the distributive property. Then they do problems which include distributing and combining like terms. While there are subtraction signs in some of the problems, the students would be able to do this assignment without prior knowledge of the integer operation rules. It's important for students to be able to master this concept without the struggle of applying the integer operations rules. I have a worksheet which includes integers here:

CCSS6.EE.A.3
Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + 𝘹) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3𝘹; apply the distributive property to the expression 24𝘹 + 18𝘺 to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4𝘹 + 3𝘺); apply properties of operations to 𝘺 + 𝘺 + 𝘺 to produce the equivalent expression 3𝘺.
CCSS7.EE.A.1
Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
