Worked really well with my 6th grade students. The doodle art made it fun. Some of the questions required the students to distribute first and then combine the like terms. This was a great introduction before I introduced equations.

My 6th graders did this activity and stayed engaged the whole period. I like how there was space that encouraged the students to show work so I had them group the like terms together in the box and then combine them after. Their favorite part was the doodling. Some students immediately dived into doodling after answering each question while others finished the math first and then finished the drawing all at once. Great activity, I will be back for more!

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

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.

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 𝘺 + 𝘺 + 𝘺 and 3𝘺 are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number 𝘺 stands for.

CCSS7.EE.A.1

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
