3rd Distributive Property

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum by distributing the multiplication to each addend.

Front

Use the Distributive Property to solve: 3 × (4 + 5)

Back

3 × (4 + 5) = (3 × 4) + (3 × 5) = 12 + 15 = 27.

Front

What is the answer to a multiplication equation called?

Back

Product.

Front

Break apart 12 x 6 using the Distributive Property.

Back

(12 x 3) + (12 x 3) = 36.

Front

Use the Distributive Property to solve: (2x3) + (2x4)

Back

(2x3) + (2x4) = 6 + 8 = 14.

Front

What does it mean to 'break apart' a multiplication problem?

Back

To 'break apart' means to separate the numbers into smaller parts to make the multiplication easier, often using the Distributive Property.

Front

Complete the missing number in the pattern: 5, 10, 15, ___, 25

Back

20.

Front

Use the Distributive Property to solve: 4 × (2 + 3)

Back

4 × (2 + 3) = (4 × 2) + (4 × 3) = 8 + 12 = 20.

Front

What is the first step in using the Distributive Property?

Back

Identify the number outside the parentheses and the numbers inside the parentheses.
