Name the Move
A property is a legal move. Both sides are always worth the same — something just changed how it looks. First make the move with your own hands. Then say its name.
Watching one first is a strong way to start.
Read the left side, then the right. One thing is different. Pick the move that turns one into the other — the pieces will make it in front of you.
The same six names every time — that is the whole word wall. Match the move to its pattern.
- 14 + 9 = 9 + 4name the property:
- 2(3 × 5) × 2 = 3 × (5 × 2)name the property:
- 37 × 1 = 7name the property:
- 42(x + 6) = 2x + 12name the property:
- 58 + 0 = 8name the property:
- 65 × 8 = 8 × 5name the property:
- 7(6 + 2) + 9 = 6 + (2 + 9)name the property:
- 812 × 0 = 0name the property:
- 93(y + 4) = 3y + 12name the property:
- 10x + 5 = 5 + xname the property:
There is no right answer here. It only tells your teacher where to start next time.
You named all ten.
Six names, four moves — order, grouping, a special number, a spread. A property is a promise: you can move it without breaking it, and now you can call every move by name.
The stretch is a choice. Taking it — or leaving it for another day — are both strong moves.
For the teacher — this device only
One probe row, built from what happened on this screen. Nothing is sent anywhere — copy it into the Goal Builder yourself, or print this page. Independent means walked with no hints; supported means walked after a hint. Both are real evidence and neither is a grade.

Every set carries all six names: two order, two grouping, two spread, and all three special-number properties. The row below counts seeing slips and naming slips separately, because they are different instruction — one is structure, the other is vocabulary. Set 2 and Set 3 are the same skills with different numbers.
