Understanding Tape Diagrams and Expressions

The lesson continues with tape diagrams, focusing on using equations with them. Students start with a warmup exercise to identify equivalent expressions using the distributive property. They then match equations to tape diagrams, explaining their reasoning. The lesson progresses to drawing tape diagrams from equations, and students solve for variables. The session concludes with practice problems and a reminder to read the lesson summary.

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 7 times 2 minus 3?

• 7 * 2 - 3

• 7 * (2 - 3)

• 14 - 3

• 7 + 2 - 3

What property is useful for determining equivalent expressions in the warm-up activity?

• Distributive Property

• Associative Property

• Identity Property

• Commutative Property

When matching equations to tape diagrams, what is the total value represented in the first example?

• 14

• 2x

• 19

• 5

In the context of tape diagrams, what does '2x' represent?

• The difference between two values

• Two separate values of x

• The total value

• A single value of x

What is the first step in drawing a tape diagram from an equation?

• Write down the equation

• Draw the sections of the diagram

• Find the value of x

• Identify the total value

In the example provided, what is the total value for the tape diagram?

• 100

• 114

• 3x

• 18

How many sections of 'x' are there in the example tape diagram?

• Two

• Three

• Four

• One
