Grade 3 Module 3 Lesson 10 Insights

What is the main advantage of using the distributive property in calculations?

• To make calculations more complex

• To use more paper and resources

• To simplify calculations by breaking them into smaller parts

• To learn advanced mathematical theories

In the example, how was the multiplication of 6 times 8 simplified using the distributive property?

• By adding 6 and 8

• By dividing 6 by 8

• By breaking it into 6 times 5 and 6 times 3

• By multiplying 6 by 8 directly

What is the result of 6 times 5 plus 6 times 3?

• 15

• 18

• 48

• 30

What is the result of 7 times 8 using the distributive property?

• 56

• 49

• 64

• 42

What is the purpose of breaking a multiplication problem into smaller chunks using the distributive property?

• To increase the number of calculations

• To make it easier to visualize

• To make the problem harder to solve

• To reduce the accuracy of the solution

Why is it beneficial to look for a '5' when using the distributive property in multiplication?

• Because it's easier to multiply by 5

• Because it's a common mathematical practice

• Because it reduces the number of steps

• Because it makes the problem more complex

How is the distributive property applied to division?

• By adding the divisor to the dividend

• By subtracting the divisor from the dividend

• By multiplying the divisor with the dividend

• By breaking the dividend into smaller parts and dividing each by the divisor

In the division example, how was 64 divided by 8 simplified?

• By multiplying 64 by 8

• By breaking it into 40 divided by 8 and 24 divided by 8

• By adding 8 to 64

• By subtracting 8 from 64

What is the result of 40 divided by 8 plus 24 divided by 8?

• 8

• 7

• 9

• 5

What is the result of 72 divided by 8 using the distributive property?

• 7

• 8

• 9
