Teaching guide
What students learn
Apply properties of operations to write equivalent algebraic expressions, such as expanding or factoring.
How to teach it
Teach the agreed order (brackets, then × and ÷ left to right, then + and - left to right) and why it removes ambiguity, with worked contrasts.
Worked example
8 + 12 × 8 =
Answer: 104
Why: × first: 12×8=96, then 8+96=104
Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.
Watch out for
Working strictly left to right and doing addition before multiplication.
