Applying Properties of Operations with Rational Numbers

This lesson covers the properties of operations used to multiply and divide rational numbers without a calculator. It revisits the associative and commutative properties, previously discussed in addition and subtraction, and introduces the distributive property. The teacher provides examples and problem-solving techniques using these properties, emphasizing multiple methods to reach solutions. The lesson aims to enhance students' mathematical skills through class discussions and practical applications.

What is the main objective of this lesson?

• To solve algebraic equations

• To learn about the history of mathematics

• To demonstrate the ability to utilize properties of operations to multiply and divide rational numbers

• To use a calculator to solve problems
