M07-S1C2-05. Simplify numerical expressions using the order of operations and

appropriate mathematical properties.

M08-S1C2-05. Simplify numerical expressions using the order of operations that

include grouping symbols, square roots, cube roots, absolute values, and positive

exponents.

What is a mathematical expression? What is the difference between a square root and a cube root? What are grouping signs? Why does an answer change in a numerical expression when the grouping symbols are placed around different numbers?

Important Note Concerning Order of Operations: The first step is to get whatever is inside the parenthesis/grouping symbol down to one value. If there is already one value inside each parenthesis/grouping, MOVE ON!

Example: 3(4+5) ÷ 10 vs. 2(3)(2)+ (4) ÷ 2

In the space below, develop 2 expressions to be solved with order of operations. Be sure to include at least one exponent and one grouping symbol. 1) 2) Properties that can help us simplify expressions: Distributive Property - multiplication distributes over addition and subtraction

Ex: a(b + c) = ab + ac or a(x – b) = ax - ab

Directions: Use the distributive property to simplify the expressions below.

1) 3(5 + x)

2) 4(2 + t)

3) 6(a - b)

4) x(y - z)

5) 3(2 + 4)

6) 5(p + 6)

Numeric Examples:

7) 6(3 - 2)

8) 10(4 – x)

1) Which equation uses the Distributive Property to solve the problem below?

10(5 + 3) = ___

A (10 + 5) + (10 + 3) = 28

B (15) + (30) = 45

C (10 x 5) + (10 + 3) = 63

D (10 x 5) + (10 x 3) = 80

2) Which equation uses the Distributive Property to solve the problem below?

2 (5 - 3) = ___

A (5 - 2) - (3 - 2) = 2

B (2 x 5) - (2 x 3) = 4

C (2 x 5) - (2 + 3) = 5

D (2 x 5) + (2 x 3) = 16

Associative Property – groupings of all multiplication or all addition can be grouped in any order

Ex: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c or a(bc) = (ab)c

1) Use the Associative Property of Multiplication to assist you in solving the problem below.

(3 x 4) x 5 = ____

A (3 + 4) + 5

B 3 x (4 - 5)

C 3 x (4 x 5)

D 3 - (4 x 5)

2) Which equation uses the Associative Property of Multiplication to solve the problem below?

5 x (2 x 40) =___

A (2 x 40) + (2 x 5) = 90

B (40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 210

C (2 x 5) x 40 = 400

D (40 x 5) x (2 x 5) = 2,000

Numeric Examples:

Commutative Property- if an expression or equation is comprised of all addition or all multiplication, you can move things around Ex: a + b = b + a or ab = ba

2 x 3 x 12 = _____

A 2 + 3 x 12

B 2 x 12 x 3

C 2 - 3 x 12

D 2 - 3 x 12

A 3 - 15 - 7 = -19

B 15 - 3 - 7 = 5

C 7 + 3 + 15 = 25

D 15(3 + 7) = 150
