Understanding Distributive Property and Multiples

The video tutorial explains how to use visual models to understand multiples of a sum, focusing on a balloon problem. It introduces the concept of equal groups and the distributive property to simplify multiplication. The tutorial demonstrates how to apply these concepts to solve word problems, specifically using Debbie's balloon sets as an example. The lesson concludes by highlighting patterns in multiplication and reinforcing the use of visual models.

What is the total number of balloons Debbie's mother initially buys?

• 5 blue and 3 yellow

• 2 blue and 3 yellow

• 3 blue and 2 yellow

• 4 blue and 1 yellow

How can multiples of a sum be visually represented?

• Using a line graph

• Using a bar graph

• Using a visual model

• Using a pie chart

What does the distributive property allow us to do with multiplication problems?

• Break problems into parts

• Subtract numbers

• Divide numbers

• Add numbers

How can 8 times 13 be expressed using the distributive property?

• 8 times 10 plus 3

• 8 times 13 plus 3

• 8 times 5 plus 8

• 8 times 10 plus 8 times 3

What is a common mistake when using the distributive property?

• Multiplying only the second number

• Ignoring the parentheses

• Adding numbers incorrectly

• Multiplying only the first number

How should 8 times (5 plus 2) be correctly calculated?

• 8 times 5 plus 2

• 8 plus 5 times 2

• 8 times 5 plus 8 times 2

• 8 times 7
