Ultimate Review

This distributive property worksheet offers a comprehensive, leveled review designed to support students at multiple stages of understanding. Learners begin with basic numeric distribution, progress to one-variable expressions, and advance to multi-term and multi-step expressions that require careful reasoning and simplification.

Instructional Objectives

• Skill Focus (Grades 6-8): Expand, simplify, and factor expressions using the Distributive Property across increasing levels of complexity.
• Conceptual Understanding (Grades 6-8): Build confidence by recognizing patterns and structure within expressions before applying distribution.
• Algebraic Reasoning (Grades 7-8): Apply distribution strategically in multi-step problems, including reverse distribution (factoring).
• Curriculum Alignment (Grades 6-8): Supports expressions and equations, problem solving, algebraic thinking, and mathematical practice standards emphasizing clear reasoning and structure.

The leveled format allows students to experience success early while preparing them for more demanding tasks. Application and reverse-distribution problems encourage flexible thinking, while the included word problem reinforces real-world modeling.

Learning Benefits

• Ideal for cumulative review, assessment, or targeted skill reinforcement
• Differentiated structure supports a wide range of learners
• Reinforces both expansion and factoring for conceptual balance
• Encourages clear work, logical steps, and mathematical justification

This printable worksheet provides a thorough and flexible review of the Distributive Property, helping students demonstrate mastery through structured progression and varied problem types.
