The document outlines a 4-part math lesson on number sense and algebra. It begins by introducing the concept of distributing multiplication with unknown variables. Examples are shown of distributing terms like 14x and 6x. The goal is to rewrite expressions in fully distributed form, like 6(x)(4) + 6(x)(4). This helps demonstrate how to manipulate algebraic expressions before students encounter more complex problems.
