Distributive Property

We watched this video yesterday on the distributive property.  
Then we did a "walk around the room" activity to practice applying the distributive property.  Some of our practice problems are below:

2(c - k)   
So we can think of it as 2 x c - 2 x k
Or, in simplest terms, it would be 2c - 2k

6(3d + 4t)
So we can think of it as 6 x 3d + 6 x 4t
Or, in simplest terms, it would be 18d + 24t

Just a reminder that we have a test on Friday.  Students all have practice problems (with answers on the back) that they can try in order to review for the test.  The paper with the practice problems is purple :) 

Contact Mrs. Springer or Miss Holt with any questions and have a happy Thursday!
