We continued with properties and applying them to generate equivalent expressions. We started with the distributive property expanding expressions such as 5(2x+3)=10x+6. PJ did great with this concept. Next we considered going in the opposite direction by factoring. This was a bit more challenging. We started with an expression like 3y-9 and PJ had to consider what are both 3y and -9 divisible by. He decided 3. So we factored out the 3 to get 3(y-3). WE did a few examples of these so PJ could get the idea. He had an appointment, so he was picked up from class early.
