Distributive Property of Multiplication TEACHERS: SUBJECT: McElwee Math STANDARD:  Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. OBJECTIVE (EXPLICIT):  I can model and define the distributive property EVIDENCE OF MASTERY (MEASURABLE): A drawn model showing the distributive property with a definition of the distributive property. SUB-OBJECTIVES, SWBAT (SEQUENCED FROM BASIC TO COMPLEX):  KEY VOCABULARY: MATERIALS: Distributive property Paper (one per student) distribute Pencil (One per student) Tooth picks (tens) (10 per student) Beans (ones)(10 per student) Task cards with equations (6 per partner set) Math Journal (or other source for writing of defintion or thoughts)

ENGAGE (MAKE CONTENT AND LEARNING RELEVANT TO REAL LIFE AND CONNECT TO STUDENT INTEREST) We are having a party to celebrate Art Day! Several students are bringing 1 box with 8 markers and 3 single markers. If there are 7 students, how many markers will be brought to our Art Day? Is there more than one way to solve this problem?
