Easter Math Algebra 1 Distributive Property Equivalent Expressions and Combining Like Terms 7th Grade Math Coloring Activities.

This resource is printed in black and white for the students to color in.

✦ Notes:

Students will apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.

For example, applying the distributive property to the expression -4e + 3(e + 5t) - 7t to produce the equivalent simplified expression.

Each answer occurs twice, once with a number and once with a color.

The matching color can then be used to color the picture in a fun color by number activity.

All answers are included.
