Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will solve equations with and without variables, showing their work step-by-step: 

  • 7 + (b + 10) = 19
  • 4 + (5 + 7) = (4 + 5) + 7
  • (13 + c) + 15 = 38
  • 2 x (5 x a) = 40
  • 3 x (b x 3) = 36
  • (a + 12) + 25 = 59
  • (c x 6) x 2 = 24
  • (10 + 4) + 2 = 10 + (4 + 2) 

  • Previously Published Data 

    1.) Students will show the associative rule only works for some operations; they will find which operations by solving the following equations and indicating if they are true or false. 

    If a = 4, b = 2, c = 3, then (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)  

    If a = 2, b = 5, c = 4, then (a x b) x c = a x (b x c)  

    If a = 12, b = 6, c = 2, then (a / b) / c = a / (b / c)  

    If a = 8, b = 6, c = 2, then (a - b) - c = a - (b - c) 


    2.) Students will use the associative rule to find the value of the variable in: 
  • (a + 5) + 6 = 15
  • (b x 2) x 4 = 24 
  •
