Multiplying Larger Numbers
Using the Distributive Property
Level 1

This one page worksheet uses the Distributive Property to multiply larger numbers.

Key concept: Students should know that a number can be taken apart and operations can be changed to create an easier problem that produces
the same answer.

Commutative Property – Level 1

These one page worksheets introduce the Commutative Property of Addition. Students see that the order
does not matter and by moving numbers around it can help them solve more complex problems. There are two different versions.

Associative Property of Addition
Level 1

This one page worksheet introduces the associative property. It explains how we can change groups (move parentheses) in a problem to
make it easier to solve.

Key concept: Students need to understand that the order does not matter when adding. Numbers and groups can be moved to
help us simplify a problem or make it easier to solve.

Simplifying Expressions – Level 1

This one page worksheet covers simplifying expressions. Students need to combine like terms using basic arithmetic and the associative,
commutative, and distributive properties.

Student misunderstanding: To combine terms they need to have the same variable or no variable at all (constant).

Simplifying Expressions – Level 2

This one page worksheet continues simplifying expressions. Students need to combine like terms using basic arithmetic and the associative,
commutative, and distributive properties. It includes using the distributive property with fractions.

Student misunderstanding: If terms differ in at least one variable, then they are unlike terms and cannot be combined.

Simplifying Expressions – Level 3

This one page worksheet finishes simplifying expressions. It includes using the distributive property with fractions and
multiple variable and square terms. Students need to combine like terms using basic arithmetic and the associative, commutative, and distributive properties.

Student misunderstanding: After simplifying fractions don’t forget to distribute any negative signs or numbers.
