Use the Structure of an Expression to Identify Ways to Rewrite It - Writing mathematical expressions in different ways is incredibly important, especially in algebra. It's not about redundancy; it's about simplicity. Students should be able to convert mathematical expressions to alternative but equivalent forms by factoring.
