NF - Distributive Property Lesson

Math_Lesson_TopBanner.png Distributive Property

The distributive property of multiplication over addition allows us to "distribute" a factor to two different addends (or in more math terms, "over" two different addends). One of two factors in a product can be split into two or more parts and each part multiplied separately and then added. The result is the same as when the original factors are multiplied.

For example, 6(7+2) has the same sum as 42+12.   The sums are the same because when you apply the distributive property to 6(7+2) you would multiply 6(7) and 6(2) and then add the products. It would look like this...

6(7+2)=42+12 6x7 & 6x2
