Use the number 3 four times with any operations to equal 36.
…or to equal 7.

3. If the absolute value of 4 is 4 and the absolute value of -3 is 3, create a definition for absolute value with a partner.

4. Write an example of a number that is a:

5. Distributive Property

6. Distribute and Simplify Expressions

7. Write an expression for each:
Four less than the sum of a number t and -6.

Five times the difference of 8 and a number p.

8. Solve. Show your work!
6 + 7 • 2 – 5
÷ 3
6 • 6 – 5 • 4
9 ÷ 3 + (8 – 2 • 3 )
(5 + 4 • 4) ÷ 7
= 15
= 17
= 16
= 5
= 3

9. Rewrite #1 so the answer is 21.
Solve. Show your work!
Rewrite #1 so the answer is 21.
(6 + 7) • 2 - 5

10. Simplify. Show your work!
(4² - 3²)( ) ÷ (25 – 4)
( – 54)( /1)
= (7)(18)÷(21)
= 6
= (60 – 54)(10)
= 60
