MA.8.AR.1.2 · Algebraic Reasoning
Multiplying linear expressions in 8th grade means distributing a monomial across a binomial, as in (−2.3x)(1.1 + x), which equals −2.53x − 2.3x^2. Coefficients can be fractions or decimals, and at least one factor is always a monomial.
FAST items include multiple choice equivalence questions and equation editor items for the product. Sign slips on a negative monomial and forgetting the squared term are the usual traps; binomial times binomial is out of scope at this grade.
These come straight from Algebro's 8th grade pre-algebra question bank, easiest first. Answer one, check it, then move to the next.
