Standard 4.NS.1.11 - Practice simplifying variable expressions using properties.

Included Skills:

Expressions and equations
• Having explored the distributive law in practical contexts, I can simplify, multiply and evaluate simple algebraic terms involving a bracket.
• I can find the factors of algebraic terms, use my understanding to identify common factors and apply this to factorise expressions.
• Having discussed the benefits of using mathematics to model real-life situations, I can construct and solve inequalities and an extended range of equations.
• Expands brackets using the distributive law and simplifies.
• Solves an extended range of linear equations involving the distributive law, for example, ax ± b = cx ± d, where a, b, c and d are integers.
• Solves linear inequalities, including on simple closed intervals.
• Solves problems by expressing the given information appropriately as an equation, in-equation or formula.
• Evaluates algebraic expressions involving a bracket.
• Factorises expressions with a numeric common factor.
