Matching Equivalent Numerical Expressions Worksheet Download
The SAME four numbers appear in every expression on the sheet. That is what makes the question about the distributive property and the order of operations rather than about digits - if one pair used 5, 6 and 8 and the next used 3, 7 and 9, every match could be made by seeing which numbers appear without applying anything. Two rows are never worth the same amount either, because a matching question has to have exactly one defensible answer per row. The left column mixes factored and expanded forms, so the work runs both ways.
