Lesson 1: Generating Equivalent Expressions


Classwork
Opening Exercise
Each envelope contains a number of triangles and a number of quadrilaterals. For this exercise, let represent the
number of triangles, and let represent the number of quadrilaterals.
a.

Write an expression using and that represents the total number of sides in your envelope. Explain what
the terms in your expression represent.

b.

You and your partner have the same number of triangles and quadrilaterals in your envelopes. Write an
expression that represents the total number of sides that you and your partner have. If possible, write more
than one expression to represent this total.

c.

Each envelope in the class contains the same number of triangles and quadrilaterals. Write an expression that
represents the total number of sides in the room.

d.

Use the given values of and and your expression from part (a) to determine the number of sides that
should be found in your envelope.

e.

Use the same values for and and your expression from part (b) to determine the number of sides that
should be contained in your envelope and your partners envelope combined.

f.

Use the same values for and and your expression from part (c) to determine the number of sides that
should be contained in all of the envelopes combined.

g.

What do you notice about the various expressions in parts (e) and (f)?

Write the original expressions and expand each term using addition. What are the new expressions equivalent
to?

Alexander says that 3 + 4 is equivalent to (3)(4) + because of any order, any grouping. Is he correct?
Why or why not?

Relevant Vocabulary
VARIABLE (DESCRIPTION): A variable is a symbol (such as a letter) that represents a number (i.e., it is a placeholder for a
number).
NUMERICAL EXPRESSION (DESCRIPTION): A numerical expression is a number, or it is any combination of sums, differences,
products, or divisions of numbers that evaluates to a number.
VALUE OF A NUMERICAL EXPRESSION: The value of a numerical expression is the number found by evaluating the expression.
EXPRESSION (DESCRIPTION): An expression is a numerical expression, or it is the result of replacing some (or all) of the
numbers in a numerical expression with variables.
EQUIVALENT EXPRESSIONS: Two expressions are equivalent if both expressions evaluate to the same number for every
substitution of numbers into all the letters in both expressions.
AN EXPRESSION IN EXPANDED FORM: An expression that is written as sums (and/or differences) of products whose factors are
numbers, variables, or variables raised to whole number powers is said to be in expanded form. A single number,
variable, or a single product of numbers and/or variables is also considered to be in expanded form. Examples of
expressions in expanded form include: 324, 3, 5 + 3 40, and + 2 + 3.
TERM (DESCRIPTION): Each summand of an expression in expanded form is called a term. For example, the expression
2 + 3 + 5 consists of three terms: 2, 3, and 5.
COEFFICIENT OF THE TERM (DESCRIPTION): The number found by multiplying just the numbers in a term together is the
coefficient of the term. For example, given the product 2 4, its equivalent term is 8. The number 8 is called the
coefficient of the term 8.
AN EXPRESSION IN STANDARD FORM: An expression in expanded form with all its like terms collected is said to be in standard
form. For example, 2 + 3 + 5 is an expression written in expanded form; however, to be written in standard form,
the like terms 2 and 3 must be combined. The equivalent expression 5 + 5 is written in standard form.
