Distributive Property and Expressions

The video tutorial covers distributing expressions, starting with a review of factoring expressions. It explains how to model the distributive property using tape diagrams and create equivalent expressions. The tutorial demonstrates proving equivalence through substitution and discusses expanded and factored forms. It introduces the area model as a method to understand the distributive property. The session concludes with a preview of upcoming class exercises.
