The Distributive Property

The distributive property is mental math strategy that can be used when multiplying. 43 x 5 =?

Break apart the double-digit number. 43 x 5 =? 40 + 3

Then multiply each part by 5. 43 x 5 =? 40 x 5 + 3 x 5

Then multiply each part by 5. 43 x 5 =? 40 x 5 200 + 3 x 5 15

Finally, sum your two products 43 x 5 =215 40 + 3 x 5 200 + 15 = 215

Let’s look at another example. 53 x 6 = ?

Break apart the double-digit number. 53 x 6 = ?

Break apart the double-digit number. 53 x 6 = ? 50 + 3

Multiply each part by 6. 53 x 6 = ? 50 x 6 + 3 x 6

Multiply each part by 6. 53 x 6 = ? 50 x 6 300 + 3 x 6 18

Sum the two products. 53 x 6 = 318 50 + 3 x 6 300 + 18 = 318

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 =

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 = 1) Break apart the double-digit number.

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 = 4 x (20 + 8) 1) Break apart the double-digit number.

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 = 4 x (20 + 8) 1) Break apart the double-digit number. 2) Multiply each part by 4. (distribute the 4)

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 = 4 x (20 + 8) = (4 x 20) + (4 x 8) 1) Break apart the double-digit number. 2) Multiply each part by 4. (distribute the 4)

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 = 4 x (20 + 8) = (4 x 20) + (4 x 8) 1) Break apart the double-digit number. 2) Multiply each part by 4. (distribute the 4) 3) Sum the two products.

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 = 4 x (20 + 8) = 80 + (4 x 8) 1) Break apart the double-digit number. 2) Multiply each part by 4. (distribute the 4) 3) Sum the two products.

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 = 4 x (20 + 8) = 80 + 32 1) Break apart the double-digit number. 2) Multiply each part by 4. (distribute the 4) 3) Sum the two products.

There are three steps to the distributive property. 4 x 28 = 4 x (20 + 8) = 80 + 32 = 112 1) Break apart the double-digit number. 2) Multiply each part by 4. (distribute the 4) 3) Sum the two products.

The word “distribute” means “to give out. ”
