Algebra+1+Operations


 * __Overview__**

This lesson is an introduction to the distributive property without using variables. After viewing a brief video on BrainPop that illustrates the distributive property in a real-life setting, the teacher can then move into a few examples before using "I have...who has?" as a guided practice activity. Following the activity, the teacher can then have students complete a cartoon on ToonDoo that shows that they learned about the distributive property.
