Standard(s):  

• A.SSE.2: Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it.
• F.IF.8b: Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions.

Essential Question:

• Why structure expressions in different ways?

• I can look for and identify clues in the structure of expressions.
• I can explain why equivalent expressions are equivalent.
• I can apply models for multiplying polynomials to rewrite expressions.
