Using the Distributive Property to Rewrite Addition Problems as Multiplication Problems

The video tutorial teaches how to use the distributive property to rewrite addition problems as multiplication problems. It begins with a problem involving grouping flowers into equal sets using the greatest common factor (GCF). The tutorial explains how to find the GCF by listing factor pairs and identifying common factors. It then applies this concept to group flowers into vases, demonstrating the use of the distributive property. A second example is provided to reinforce the concept, showing how to rewrite addition problems using multiplication and the distributive property.
