Math:
Students will take a topic 5 & 8 test on Tuesday, please review these topics (multiplication & division as inverse operations)
We will also look at the different types of multiplication properties such as the commutative, associative, and distributive properties.
Examples of each:
Commutative: (flip flop rule) the order of factors does not change the product
3 x 2= 6
2 x 3=6
Test example:
Which statement is correct?
A. 6 x 4 = 4 + 6
B. 6 x 4 = 4 x 6
C. 6 x 4 = 3 + 2 x 4
D. 6 x 4 = 6 x 2 + 2
Associative: The grouping of factors does not change the product.
(2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4)
Test example:
Kevin wrote the expression below.
7 x (1 x 8) Which expression is equivalent to Kevin's expression?
A. 7 x 8
B. 7 x 9
C. 7 x (1 + 8)
D. (7+ 1) x 8
Distributive: You can use addition and multiplication to break a problem into parts.
6 x (2 + 5) = (6 x 2) + (6 x 5)
Test example:
Brittany has 7 crayons in her desk. She also has 4 other boxes of crayons with 8 crayons in each box. The expression below represent the total number of crayons Brittany has?
7 + (4 x 8)
Which expression also represents the total number of crayons Brittany has?
A. 7 + 12
B. (7 x 4) + (7 x 8)
C. (7 + 4) x (7 + 8)
D. (4 x 8) + 7
