Properties of Operations and Their Applications

The video tutorial covers the sixth-grade concept of properties of operations, focusing on the commutative, distributive, and associative properties. It uses a problem from the 2017 released STAAR test to demonstrate these properties in action. The tutorial explains each property with examples and applies them to solve the given expression, ultimately verifying the correct answer.
