What educators are saying
My students love scavenger hunts. They like moving around the room and working with their classmates. Some of the questions were challenging but it made them think! Great resource.
This activity is one of my new favorites for the distributive property. It really got my kids thinking and asking questions!!
Description
This scavenger hunt allows students to practice with combining like terms and the distributive property. There are 12 cards, a recording sheet for students and an answer key for teachers. Enjoy! **No integers!**
Item also available in my Math Scavenger Hunt - Bundle and Math Scavenger Hunts (Most Popular)
Hereโs how to play:
- Post the cards all over your room.
- Split students up into groups (I typically do pairs, depending on class size).
- Have students start at any one of the cards. The cards make a loop, so it doesn't matter where students start.
- Students record on their record sheet the CARD NUMBER they are at, solve the problem and find the answer on a DIFFERENT CARD. Then they repeat the process.
- Students will know they have finished when they arrive back at the card where they started.
- You check their card number sequence.
- This set includes 12 cards, the answer sequence and a record sheet for students. Cards review combining like terms and the distributive property.

Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + ๐น) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3๐น; apply the distributive property to the expression 24๐น + 18๐บ to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4๐น + 3๐บ); apply properties of operations to ๐บ + ๐บ + ๐บ to produce the equivalent expression 3๐บ.
