AC9M8A01
create, expand, factorise, rearrange and simplify linear expressions, applying the associative, commutative, identity, distributive and inverse properties
Elaborations
- AC9M8A01_E1rearranging and simplifying linear expressions involving variables with integer coefficients and constants; using manipulatives such as algebra tiles to support calculations; for example, using manipulatives to demonstrate that 2x+4 = 2(x+2), 3(a-b)=3a -3b, or 5(m+2n)+3m-4n = 5m+10n+3m-4n = 8m+6n
- AC9M8A01_E2demonstrating the relationship between factorising and expanding linear expressions using manipulatives, such as algebra tiles or area models, and describing with mathematical language
- AC9M8A01_E3using the distributive, associative, commutative, identity and inverse properties to expand and factorise algebraic expressions using strategies such as the area model
