We discussed the meaning of "distribute" (to give out) and then used the distributive property to answer questions like 2 ( 3 + 4). We then discussed how the distributive property can be useful to when multiplying larger numbers. For example, (7) (33) can also be thought of as 7 (10 + 10 + 10 + 3). You might not know your 33 times tables, but you know your 10 and 3 times tables. We started to discuss how the distributive property is important in algebra ie) 2 (x + 3) because you cannot add x and 3, being that they are unlike terms. We will continue our discussion on the distributive property next class.
