Activity Description

Students will practice using properties of operations (associative, commutative, distributive) to combine like terms and simplify algebraic expressions. This digital worksheet will help students understand and apply these properties. Each student will receive a unique set of questions to promote individual practice and understanding.


Key Features:

  • Auto-Graded: This interactive digital worksheet is auto-graded, eliminating the need for teachers to evaluate it manually, making it an excellent practice activity.
  • Unique Questions: Each student will receive a unique set of 20 questions to promote individual practice and understanding.
  • Re-Assignable: Re-assigning the worksheet to the same classroom will generate a new set of questions for each student.


  In this worksheet, every student will receive a unique set of questions and the worksheet is auto-graded. When a teacher reassigns a worksheet, students will receive a completely new set of questions, ensuring a fresh and fair learning experience every time.

Common Core: MATH

Expressions & Equations

Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. *For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y*.

Expressions & Equations

Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). *For example, the expressions y + y + y and 3y are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number y stands for.*.
