Expand & Factor

1. The document provides examples of algebraic expressions to rewrite, simplify, expand, and factorize. It includes expressions involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, grouping symbols, variables, coefficients, and constants. 2. Students are asked to complete algebraic pyramids, solve equations for unknown variables, expand expressions using the distributive property, and factorize expressions by grouping common factors. 3. The problems progress from rewriting simple expressions to expanding and factorizing more complex expressions involving multiple terms and variables.
