The children have been practicing decomposing areas and now digits in order to understand and use the distributive property.

Children need to move from the manipulative expressions of the distributive property into the mathematical equations eventually. This lesson is the first step in leading them to that goal.

A short tutorial is presented to explain how the distributive property is used to simplify expressions. Students can practice the concept using the online worksheet provided.

Students investigate how to simplify using the distributive property. The resource consists of lessons with examples, an expression simplifying calculator, and a worksheet to check for comprehension.

Great resource for learning and practicing the different properties of mathematics. Math worksheets are printable, may be customized, and include answer keys.

This lesson contains a video lesson [9:28] and various exercises about the area of rectangles, common units of area, two-part rectangles and the distributive property, and shapes composed of rectangular areas.

After finishing this tutorial, you'll be well versed in various properties of real numbers: identity and inverse properties, commutative and associative properties, and distributive properties. You'll also know about the various symbols...

College professor Dan Bach presents a review of algebra concepts, including factoring, quadratic equations, and graphing parabolas. The examples are detailed, but easy to follow. This is a good site for reviewing before tests and quizzes.

Explains five methods for multiplying binomials: (Distributive Method, FOIL Method, Vertical Method, Grid Method, and Using Algebra Tiles).

Practicing math problems is a great way to study for a math test!
