Exploring Equivalent Expressions in Depth

The video tutorial covers the practice of equivalent expressions, starting with a warm-up activity. It explains the distributive property and how to apply it, followed by an introduction to factoring and finding the greatest common factor. The tutorial reviews like terms and how to identify equivalent expressions. Students solve practice problems to reinforce these concepts. The session concludes with a review of the steps and instructions for checking assignments.
