Use the prerequisite representations before moving to independent work.
How to use this worksheet
- Begin with: Evaluate 3n + 4 at n = 5.
- Connect the response to: Calculate 3 + 4 × 2.
- Ask students to apply the idea: A learner rewrites 3(n + 4) as 3n + 4. Explain and correct.
A common mistake to discuss
Check the meaning of each quantity, the operation and the units; a numerical answer alone does not show the full reasoning.
What to practice next
Revisit the unit goals. Use the criteria to identify a specific response to improve; this activity alone does not establish mastery.
