Can the distributive property help solve complex multiplication when you can't find a calculator? Yes, as a matter of fact, it can! Using addition, subtraction, and area models, the speaker explains how to simplify these problems and...

Just over one third of all adults struggle when performing math operations with negative numbers. Addressing these skills early and often prevents these challenges later in life. Through multiple examples, worked step by step, viewers...

Who needs parentheses, anyway? Understanding how to apply the distributive property—and how to get rid of parentheses—helps scholars conceptually understand why it is necessary. Guided practice problems help build confidence to create...

Review properties of real numbers in a real way. Viewers of a YouTube video match equations to properties of real numbers in an effort to review all the properties at once.

You'll probably learn properties properly after viewing a video that reviews the properties of real numbers, including the identity and inverse properties. Scholars watch a YouTube video that shows how to use the properties to evaluate...

The distributive property works both ways. Connecting the distributive property from arithmetic to algebra, the resource shows how it works with variables too. The video provides examples of using the distributive property with a factor...

Find the area of FOIL. A short video makes the connection between the FOIL method and the area model of multiplying two binomials. The graphics show how the different parts of the area model can be connected to the nemonic FOIL.

The distributive property and FOIL are the same when it comes to binomial multiplication. The video demonstrates binomial multiplication using the distributive property. The presenter shows the general case and provides two...

Does the distributive property work the same with fractions? The short video provides examples of the distributive property using algebraic fractions. The resource provides two examples of distributing fractions over sums also involving...

Here is a video that makes individuals feel comfortable with working with the distributive property.

Without ever relying on the FOIL trick, this presentation carefully walks young algebrists through multiplying binomials by a monomial and by each other. Examples start easy, but move into complicated pairings of coefficients, positives...

"My biggest challenge in class is to get some students to put a pen to paper, because they don't want to make a mistake." Discover how two teachers are working to help special education students develop the skills they will...

What is the greatest common factor of two terms in an expression? First prime factor each of the terms. Then find the factors that they have in common. Multiply if needed. That is how to find the greatest common factor. Watch the video...

Click on this video and see how to use the distributive property to multiply trinomials. The instructor does some of the math in her head but she talks out loud to explain what she is doing to get the terms that she is writing on the...

Rational expressions that are in the form of fractions. Yuk! The teacher demonstrates how to subtract one rational expression from the other when the expressions have a common denominator. Combine like terms and write it in simplest form.

This lesson on the distributive property is probably a review for algebra I mathematicians. But it doesn't hurt to reinforce this skill of multiplying a whole number times the sum of fractions. The teacher shows two ways to multiply the...

Have your class learn how to solve equations using this video. In a step-by-step method, this film shows how to solve a problem involving multiplication, division and parentheses.

Through solving a word problem involving a train, the learner in this video describes how to complete a time vs. distance equation. This would be a useful resource because it provides a step-by-step explanation of the process.

Rational expressions that are in the form of fractions. Yuk! The teacher demonstrates how to subtract one rational expression from the other when the expressions have a common denominator. Combine like terms and write it in simplest form.

A word problem, chemistry, and percent? I know you want to throw your hands in the air and run away from this problem, but please don't. Pay close attention as the instructor helps you unpack this word problem to set up an equation that...

Fractions and variables on both sides of the equation? Oh my! There are one hundred and one steps to solving this equation. Not really, but now that I have your attention, I recommend you watch this video closely and follow the...

Finding the additive inverse is not as complicated as you might think. The instructor demonstrates how to multiply each of the terms in the polynomial by -1 and explains how this works. But wait, there's a quicker way. What's that you...

Are you stumped by having a fraction in front of the parentheses in an equation you are trying to solve? Never fear. Watch as the instructor shows you how to work your way through this equation starting with the distributive property and...

So you have the same variable more than once on the same side? No problem. Just simplify before trying to solve. That means, combine the like terms. Watch as the teacher shows you how to do that.
