Properties of Operations and Cookies

The video tutorial teaches the application of the distributive property using visual models. It begins with an introduction to the concept of sets and how multiplication can be represented using the distributive property. The lesson uses examples of boxes and cookies to illustrate how to visualize and simplify sets. The commutative and associative properties are also explained, showing how they can be used to rearrange and combine terms. The tutorial concludes with a recap of the key concepts and problem-solving techniques covered.

What did Katie give to her teacher?

• Two boxes of cookies and four individual cookies

• Three boxes of cookies and five individual cookies

• Five boxes of cookies and three individual cookies

• Four boxes of cookies and two individual cookies

How many sets did the teacher wish they had?

• Five more sets

• Four more sets

• Three more sets

• Two more sets

What is the correct way to express 8 times the quantity 5 plus 2 using the distributive property?

• 8 times 5 plus 8

• 8 groups of 5 plus 2

• 8 times 5 plus 2

• 8 groups of 5 plus 8 groups of 2

What does the commutative property allow us to do?

• Add parentheses to group terms

• Multiply terms in any order

• Combine different groups

• Switch around two terms

How many boxes and individual cookies are there in three sets?

• 12 boxes and 20 cookies

• 6 boxes and 10 cookies

• 15 boxes and 25 cookies

• 9 boxes and 15 cookies

In the new problem, how many total boxes and individual cookies are there in four sets?

• 12 boxes and 24 cookies

• 10 boxes and 20 cookies

• 8 boxes and 16 cookies

• 6 boxes and 12 cookies

What property allows us to combine different groups?

• Identity property
