Learning Goal
Part of: Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions — 2 of 2 cluster items
Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms can shed light on the problem
7.EE.A.2 — Understand that rewriting an expression in different forms can shed light on the problem and how the quantities in it are related. For example, a + 0.05a = 1.05a means that "increase by 5%" is the same as "multiply by 1.05."

What you'll learn
- Rewrite an expression in a different equivalent form using properties of operations
- Explain what each form of an expression reveals about the quantities it represents
- Connect percent increase/decrease language to multiplication expressions (e.g., a + 0.05a = 1.05a)
- Recognize that equivalent forms of expressions are genuinely equal—not approximations
- Choose the most useful form of an expression for a given problem context
