  • PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI

    PLAN & DO / WHAKAMAHI learning intentions:

    • We are PLANNING to apply distributive rule to the expansion of algebraic expressions so that we can construct correct and meaningful equations with variables.


    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    • Apply the distributive law to the expansion of algebraic expressions


    Activities:

    1. Warm up - https://www.transum.org/Software/Fun_Maths/Minesweeper/
    2. What does the word expand mean? 
    3. How does the word expand apply to Algebra?
    4. Explain the distributive law with just numbers
    5. Distributive law in Algebra - To write an expression without grouping
    6. Teacher unpacks grouping eg 3 lots of w+4, solving by collecting like terms and getting the answer.
    7. Applying the distributive law to the same question - do we end up with the same answer?
    8. Practice questions
