Commutative and Distributive Properties for Multiplying

Introduction

  1. We  will be learning the Commutative, Associative, and Distributive Property.
  2. Also we will be learning how to apply the properties with multiplication.

3.ATO.5 Apply properties of operations (i.e., Commutative Property of Multiplication,

Associative Property of Multiplication, Distributive Property) as strategies to

multiply and divide and explain the reasoning

Task

In this lesson you will watch three videos on each of the different properties and answer the question on notebook paper and bring them in for review the next day as homework. You will also play some games and get a better understanding of the properties and we do a fun worksheet in class that needs to be printed out and brought to class also.
