Writing Products as Sums and Sums as Products (Module 3, Lesson 3)
Example 5/Exercise 4: Model each exercise with a rectangular array.
Example 6: Use different lengths to represent ‘s’ in order to come up with
expressions with numerical values
Closing: What are some of the methods used to write products as sums? In
terms of a rectangular array and equivalent expressions, what does the
product form represent, and what does the sum form represent?

Writing Products as Sums and Sums as Products (Module 3, Lesson 4)
Example 1/Exercise 1: Write equivalent expressions using the distributive
property.
Example 2/Exercise 2: Find lengths of each individual region, so all three
regions have the same width.
Exercise 3: Writ each sum as a product of two factors
Example 3: Independent Practice
Example 4: Discussion questions
Exercise 4: Partner practice
Example 5/Exercise 5: Rewrite expressions in standard form applying the
rules for subtracting
Closing: What is happening when you take the opposite of a term or factor?
Describe the process you used to write an expression in the form of the
sum of terms as an equivalent expression in the form of a product of
factors.

Duty Week: NO
Using the Identity and Inverse to Write Equivalent Expressions
(Module 3, Lesson 5)
Opening Exercise: students work independently to rewrite numerical
expressions recalling the definitions of opposites and reciprocals.
Discussion: In Problem 1, what is the pair of numbers called? What is the
sum of a number and its opposite? In Problem 5, what is so special about
0?
Example 1/Exercise 1: Write the sum and then write an equivalent
expression by collecting like terms and removing parentheses when
possible.
Example 2: Independent Practice/Discussion
Exercise 2: Students work in pairs taking turns being the speaker and write
rewriting the expressions.
Closing: What are the other terms for opposites and reciprocals, and what
are the general rules of their sums and products? What do the Additive
Identity Property of Zero and the Multiplicative Identify Property of One
state?
Collecting Rational Number Like Terms (Module 3, Lesson 6)
Opening Exercise: students write and simplify expressions
Example 1/Exercise 1: Rewrite the expression in standard form by collecting
like terms.
Example 2/Exercise 2: Write TWO different expressions that represent the
given situation
Example 3/Exercise 3: Write each expression in standard form by collecting
like terms and justify each step.
Example 4/Exercise 4: Rewrite the expression in standard form by finding
common denominators and collecting like terms
Example 5/Exercise 5 (if time permits): Write the expression in standard
form
Closing: Jane says combining like terms is much harder to do when the
coefficients and constant terms are not integers. Why do you think Jane
feels this way?
