  1. The Distributive Property We are learning how to simplify expressions using the Distributive Property. Wednesday, April 2, 2014

  2. Team Investigation… • With your team simplify the given expressions using the Order or Operations. • When you are done draw lines between any expressions that have the same solution. • Last reflect with you team about What similarities do you notice between the expressions that you matched from “Column 1” and “Column 2?” • Do you see any patterns or trends?

  3. The Distributive Property A(B + C) = _________________ -or- A(B – C) = _________________ A(B) + A(C) A(B) – A(C)

  4. Use the Distributive Property to write the expression below in an equivalent form… 7(3) + 7(10) = ______________________ 6(7) – 6(3) = ______________________ 8(2) + 8(12) + 8(8) = ______________________ 3(1) - 3(4) + 3(2) – 3(7) + 3(10) = __________________________

  5. You can even use the distributive property backwards to help find the answer to a difficult multiplication problem. For example…try to multiply 9(107) by doing… 9(107) = 9(100 + 7) = 9(100) + 9(7) = 900 + 63 = 963

  6. You can even use the distributive property backwards to help find the answer to a difficult multiplication problem. For example…try to multiply 3(46) by doing… 3(46) = 3(50 – 4) = 3(50) – 3(4) Use the Distributive Property to solve the multiplication expression to multiply 8(217) = 150 – 12 = 138
