Which of these are true?
2 + 3 = 3 + 2
2 + 3 + 1 =1 + 3 + 2
3 - 2 = 2 - 3
2 x 3 = 3 x 2
2 x 3 x 4 = 3 x 2 x 4
2 x 3 + 3 x 3 = 5 x 3
2 x 5 + 3 x 5 = 5 x 5

Check by substituting values.
16 8 4 2 1Can you make 22 ?
16 + 4 + 2
16 + 8 - 2
3 x 8 - 2
5 x 4 + 2
2 x 16 - 8 - 2
Can you make 21?

What is 2b + c ?
2b + c = 20
Can you make 20 another way ?

One person thinks of a length for a fence and gives it a letter.
The person then draws some of the fences with a length added on.
The rest of the group have to write an expression for the total length.
The person then tells the group the total length and the group have to write an equation.
The group then solve the equation and asks if the solution is right.
Another person starts back at the beginning.

One person thinks of a length for a fence and gives it a letter.
The person then draws some of the fences with a length subtracted.
The rest of the group have to write an expression for the length left.
The person then tells the group the length left and the group have to write an equation.
The group then solve the equation and asks if it is right.
Another person starts back at the beginning.
