Distributive Property Box Method

What does the Distributive Property mean?

• states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = ab + ac is true.

• states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = ab x ac is true.

• states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = a + b + a + c is true.

• states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = a - b + ac is true.

Rewrite using the Distributive Property: 6(3 + 6)

• (6x3) + 6

• 63

• (6x3) + (6x6)

• 18 + 36

Fill in the missing addend in each box that makes the equation true.

3(_ + 8)= 15 + 24

Rewrite using the Distributive Property: 14(10 + 7)

• (14+10) x (14+7)

• (14x10) + (14x7)

• (14x10) + 7

• 140 + 98

Rewrite using the Distributive Property: 5(20 x 10)

• (5x20) + (5+10)

• (100) + (50)

• 100 + (5x10)

• (5x20) + (5x10)

Fill in the missing addend in each box that makes the equation true.

9(5+ __)= 45 + 18

Rewrite using the Distributive Property: 11(4+16)
