2018年11月4日 · Model with manipulatives for 3(y - 1) After students model the expression have them write down what they see with combining like terms. If your students see the connection between the initial expression and the simplified expression at this point, that is great.

Manipulatives are key in order for students to be able to “see” and truly understand this property. So we use them quite a bit in the beginning!

Teaching the Distributive Property of Multiplication in 3rd grade can be challenging! See how I break it down for elementary students.

2023年5月11日 · Use manipulatives: Use manipulatives such as algebra tiles, base ten blocks, or other objects to help students visualize the distributive property. This will help them see how the property works and build a deeper understanding of the concept.

Distributive Property: Arrays and the Area Model . The Distributive Property. Definition: A number in a multiplication expression can be decomposed into two or more numbers. The distributive property can involve: multiplication over addition (e.g., 6 x 47 = (6 x 40) + (6 x 7)) multiplication over subtraction (e.g. 4 x 98 = (4 x 100) – (4 x 2))

Grades 3-5th: Distributive Property Manipulatives can help our students better understand equations. Watch how we've used manipulatives to showcase the distributive property of multiplication.

Once you see your students gaining confidence, bump things up a notch by giving them challenging problems to break apart such as 4×18 or 8×16. You can also differentiate by having them write 2 different equations demonstrating the distributive property of multiplication. The mats I use are double-sided.
