Use the Associative Property of Multiplication
- Grade:
- 3
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on using the associative property of multiplication. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students multiply the first two factors in column A, then multiply that product by the remaining factor. Then, they repeat they repeat the steps for column B. Finally, students compare the final products in column A and B. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Properties of Operations in Simplified Expressions
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This algebra and functions lesson focuses on identifying the commutative and associative properties in simplified expressions. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the expressions as they are simplified. Then, they identify which property of addition was used to simplify them. They justify their answer by explaining that if the addends were put into different places in the expression, then it was commutative, while if the addends were grouped to add them together, it was associative. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
Use Real Number Properties to Perform Computational Procedures
- Grade:
- High School
- Subject:
- Math
This Algebra 1 lesson teaches students how to use the properties of real numbers to perform computational procedures. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. Students will read partial equations and complete them by determining, writing, and justifying the real number property that applies (Commutative, Associative, or Distributive). Then, they will perform the operations to prove the results do not change. In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and three pages of periodic review.
