Parentheses: How big of a change can they make!?
🔓 This is an unlocked sample!
Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Students will add sets of parentheses to expressions to see how large of a change they can create.
Steps
- First, I model the process and then give them a sample to try: 7 × 3 + 7 × 2
- I show my best answer (see below) and then present four more samples.
- I reveal my best answers, then ask students to think about what patterns or rules they spotted to help them place their parentheses. They write these out as 3 to 5 tips to create a guidebook.

The registration window closes on May 31st, 2024
