Understanding Expressions and Operations

In this lesson, students learn about distributing expressions, moving from factored to expanded forms. The teacher uses models to demonstrate how to represent and expand expressions like 2(a + b) and double 3x + 4y. The lesson emphasizes understanding the difference between factored and expanded forms and provides guidance on grouping terms. Students are encouraged to reach out for help if needed.
