That would be awesome. I’d love to see how it unfolded

Your guess is correct; that was how I introduced the distributive property, as sums of groups of identical expressions. I’d be happy to share the original handouts (lesson and homework) in case you want to have a closer look. I’d love to hear more feedback and consider revising the lesson if you have any ideas.

Quick question on the (2x + 7) + (2x +7) + (2x + 7)
It feels kind of artificial to have the parentheses here setting off the binomials that way. I think that you did this so as to lead the students more naturally to the compact answer of 3 (2x + 7) but I wonder about the presence of parentheses in a situation where they might not normally appear.
