7.8.6 Lesson Summary

In this lesson, you learned how to:

• Rewrite quadratic expressions in different forms by using an area diagram or the distributive property.

Here are the activities that helped you reach those goals:

• 7.8.1: Area Diagrams
  • In this activity, you drew area diagrams to represent multiplication.
• 7.8.2: Using the Distributive Property to Write Equivalent Expression
  • In this activity, you used diagrams to write equivalent expressions, and then used the distributive property to find the product of a monomial times a binomial.
