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.
  • 7.8.2: Self Check
  • 7.8.2: Additional Resources
• 7.8.3: Using Diagrams to Find Equivalent Quadratic Expressions
  • In this activity, you continued to use diagrams to find equivalent expressions, and then used the distributive property to multiply binomials by binomials.
  • 7.8.3: Self Check
  • 7.8.3: Additional Resources
• 7.8.4: Writing Equivalent Expressions
  • In this activity, you multiplied binomial expressions that had coefficients in front of $x$.

After these activities, you completed the following practice:
