Expansion Mission

This worksheet uses a mission-themed approach to teach distribution through worked examples and guided steps. Students observe a sample problem, then replicate the process independently on a variety of algebraic expressions. The problems include both simple and multi-step expressions requiring combination of like terms. The theme adds engagement while maintaining rigorous mathematical expectations. This worksheet is ideal for practice, reinforcement, or small-group instruction.
