Distributive Property

The Distributive Property is a tricky law to master! One thing to remember is that 'distribute' means to hand out, to spread, or to give away.  If you keep that definition in mind, it may help you remember what the Distributive Property/Law is.

  1. I like how you put a video to help us remember the distributive property. It also helped that you gave us a tip to remember it.I will keep that definition in mind and hopefully that will help me remember the distributive property!

    1. I agree with you Beatrice. Now I think I will remember the way to solve a multiplication problem using the distributive property. This was an really good video to help me fully understand the distributive property. At first I was like "I don't get it at all!" but now it seems so easy!

  2. This helped a lot because he explained the reasons that helped me understand distributive law of multiplication. The guy that was talking made a lot of sense to me because he used examples.

  3. This video really helped me a lot! I was struggling in math today, but once I watched this video it really helped me! (I watched it twice!) I really like that fact that he showed us how to do the Distributive Property, and two other ways too! But why did he keep saying "what is this thing over here?" when he was talking about the groups of 4x8 and 4x3 thing over in the right hand corner. I'm confused! :(

    1. I agree. He did say 'this thing over here' a lot. Although I must say that the way he explained the distributive Property was phenominal!

  4. This video was really helpful for the distributive property. I like how the person explained everything very clearly and drew a picture to show how to solve the problem. Now I feel pretty confident about using the distributive property of multiplication.

  5. The video helped me to learn distributive property better. By adding 8 plus 3 then multipying it by 4 and showing this with the circles on the side. Multiplying by 4 was the same as adding the 8 plus 3 circles which is 11 then adding 11 circles 3 more times to make the 44. Hopefully this will make it easy to do distributive properties now.
