Now we are getting the first formal touch of Algebra, so hang on and let's get to it. We will preload with the vocabulary of the lesson..... the first word is another property or law of math and this is the Distributive Property. Just like the name implies, something is getting distributed or spread. In algebra we use the distributive property when you have a number outside the parenthesis and you multiply this term to each term inside the parenthesis. You can also think of this as the number outside tells you how many groups you have of the terms inside the parenthesis. So 3 (A + 6 ) means there are 2 groups of A+6. We will work on this through the examples and in class, so if you still have questions, ask away. We are also looking at equivalent EXPRESSIONS. This is where we will be simplifying the expressions. Again, watch the videos and ask questions in our review tomorrow morning.
This is Will's sleeping little kitty. She looks so comfortable with all those pillows..... Is Will there somewhere????
Homework: Read the blog- record 2 facts from it. Watch the videos and take notes in your graphic organizer- Complete your VOCABULARY with understandable definitions and examples for the lesson on Distributive Property.
As Always in MATH,
Mrs M
