Have fun blogging! I can't wait to read your responses!
okay so step one find the distributive number.then step two multiply the distributive number with the two or three numbers given.then when u get the number u add it all together then u get your answere.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response, Eufracia. I am a bit puzzled by your explanation for HOW you would teach the Distributive Property to someone over the phone. Just remember that an algebraic expression is not limited to just two or three numbers.
DeleteFor instance, consider the algebraic expression:
7 (x - 5y + 3z - 8a + c)
Be sure to state that the terms should be written in alphabetical order. Thank you for your participation in this week's online assignment.
To teach the Distributive Property to someone over the phone is quite simple. All you must do is provide examples that include the factor, a coefficient, and a constant (define the vocabulary words if needed). You must tell them to distribute the factor with the numbers inside the parentheses and multiply. Once they have their simplified equation, you must remind them to place your coefficients in alphabetical order and place your constant at the end of the equation. That is how you can teach someone the Distributive Property over the phone.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful response, Mariechrist! For a second there, your response reminded me of how I write my lesson plans. Your post is well thought out and I can see just exactly what you are trying to convey about the Distributive Property. Although there are many other ways to teach someone the Distributive Property over the phone, your way is just as good as all the others. Great job on a well-written post!
DeleteThank you Mr. Tudela!
DeleteSo good MC
Deleteyou tough me something today
Deletea smart way to explain the distibutice proerty
Deletejust go to a social media with a friend and then type about how a distributive property and also talk about how it works and how it could relate to the real world and how it can work with other properties. tell them to also do that before do anything stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteyes very good explanation Peka.
DeleteThank you for your response, Peka. I am a bit bothered as you did not mention in your post HOW you would teach the Distributive Property to someone over the phone. Referring someone to social media does NOT answer the question that the prompt asks you to answer. Also, I would appreciate it if you could help keep this online blog post "clean" and keeping it a positive learning environment for our class to communicate in.
Deleteit relate to the real world by using money and etc
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response, Alex. I appreciate your effort in this post but you did not full answer the question the prompt asks of you to answer. It asks HOW you would teach the Distributive Property and not how it relates to the real world. Also, keep in mind the requirements for the online blog posts from the Introductory Blog. Refer to that blog to see the requirements for the online assignment.
DeleteTo teach Distributive property over the phone, you should start by giving them an example, first you should start by distributing the number outside to the numbers in the parenthesis as the name(Distributive Property) implies, after you have successfully distributed the number outside to the numbers in the parenthesis, get their equation then place them in alphabetical order.
ReplyDeletewOw, very good way to explain it.
DeleteThank you for your response, Nathan. I like how you mentioned that you should give them an example first. Please keep in mind that when using the Distributive Property, you are dealing with "expressions" and NOT "equations." Great work here, Nathan. Keep it up.
DeleteTo teach Distributive Property to someone over the phone.All you have to say to the person over the phone is that you have to include a factor and a coefficient and a constant you tell the person to multiply with the number inside the parentheses.Once you have your product put your coefficients in alphabetical order.That is how you can teach someone the Distributive Property over the phone.
ReplyDeleteawesome explanation
DeleteI like your thinking here, Miah. Although you provided a very detailed explanation, be careful not to mistaken some vocabulary terms for others. First, you do not always need to include a coefficient and a constant in order to use the Distributive Property. Lastly, you are not putting you "coefficients" in alphabetical order but rather it is your "terms" with "variables." Great response!
DeleteTo teach the Distributive Property over the phone is not that hard. All you do is give definitions of what some words mean for them to understand better. Some words are factor, term, coefficient, constant, and variables. You can use real world examples like making cookies for your friends and distributing them to understand how to distribute and to multiply, then add in the parentheses.
ReplyDeleteGreat explanation!
DeleteThe Distributive Property isn't hard at all, Rosabelle. It is very simple. I like how you mentioned to give definition of some of the terminology you will be discussing so that they get a better picture of what it is you are talking about. Also, I like your recommendation of using real-worl examples. This is the best way to teach someone any kind of mathematics! Excellent work, Rosabelle!
DeleteFirst you find the factor of the equation. The factor is outside the parenthesis. Then you multiply the factor with the numbers inside the parenthesis. Put the coefficients in alphabetical order and put the constant last. That's how you do distributive property.
ReplyDeleteoh wow!i did not know you could explain the Distributive Property in a Shorter way.
Deletethe simpliest way to explain the disteibtuice propertie
DeletePatreisha, thank you for such a beautifully written response! Although your instructions are spot on, I just want to point out one thing. It is not the "coefficients" that you put in alphabetical order but rather it is your "terms" that contain "variables." I do agree with you when you say to put the constants at the end of the expression. Great response!
DeleteWhen teaching distributive property to someone over the phone you could start off by telling them how it works. Distributive property works when you multiply each number in the parentheses by the number outside it. You could give them some examples too. In addition you could tell them some tips such as two terms inside the parentheses can't be added because they are not like terms and that the variables have to be in alphabetical order. You could use distributive property in the real world when distributing something such as money or food.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
DeleteNice Job Maritoni
Deletegood job maritoni keep it up
DeleteWhat a great way to teach someone the Distributive Property! Maritoni, I am astonished by the way you demonstrated your knowledge of the Distributive Property in this post. It is important to pay close attention to the fine details when using the Distributive Property for otherwise your final answer could be incorrect. Well-written response!
DeleteTo teach distributive property over the phone is simple. You have to get the factor outside the parenthesis. Next, multiply the numbers inside the parenthesis with the factor. When you have your product, make sure your variables are in order. You could also do this in the real world. You could use distributive property to distribute something like fruits, candy, food, and other things.
ReplyDeleteGreat way of incorporating real-world examples, Erin!
DeleteThank you for your response, Erin. I enjoyed seeing you use our vocabulary terms in your post. Also, I like how you mentioned that we can model the Distributive Property using real-world examples. Great work here!
DeleteTo teach distributive property on the phone if people are talking is very easy. we have to find the factor for it outside the parenthesis. and then next, we multiply the factor from the outside and multiply the inside then put the plus sign.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response, Maggie. I like how you said it was very easy to use the Distributive Property. I really hope you see it as such because it will be useful when we move into the other lessons in our unit of study. Although your response explains exactly how to use the Distributive Property, be careful when you say "put the plus sign." Remember, not all algebraic expressions include plus signs. Other than that, thank you for your participation in this week's online assignment.
DeleteWhen explain the distributive property is simple. You will have to put the factor outside the parenthesis. Next, multiply the numbers that are inside the parenthesis using the factor. As you get your product, check if the letters are in alphabetical order. There will be a time were you are going to come across this, and you will be able to explain.:)
ReplyDeleteGreat response here, Manding! I like your consideration of the fact that you are going to come across a situation where you would have to alphabetize the terms with variables. This is a very important part of the study of Pre-Algebra and even Algebra. Excellent response!
DeleteTo teach distributive property on the phone is simple. first you multiply the factor with the term. Then when you your multiplying it you get the expanded form.
ReplyDeleteGood boy Allen, first time in history ehh jks, Allen teach us fan
DeleteAllen, your response is short and simple, which is good. For a complicated concept, you made learning the Distributive Property easy to understand. And thank you for pointing out that the moment you distribute the factor into the terms inside the parenthesis, you you simplify and get the expanded form of your answer. Thank you for your participation in this week's online assignment.
DeleteTo teach distributive property on the phone is tell them the outside number is the factor. And the inside is called the terms. so when you do it in factor form the answer is gonna be in expanded form.
ReplyDeleteGreat explanation here, Donovin. It is very important to walk the person on the phone through the steps to use the Distributive Property. Also, it would be beneficial to them to know a little about the terminology that you are using when teaching it to them. Great response.
DeleteWith distributive property, you multiply the numbers outside the parentheses with the inside numbers separately. Then you make sure the coefficients are in alphabetical order from A to Z.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response, Juan. I really like how you mentioned to multiply the numbers outside the the parentheses with the numbers inside "separately." This is a really good way to think of the Distributive Property especially when dealing with terms that cannot be combined (not like terms). And remember that your "terms" with "variables" are the ones that need to be in alphabetical order, not your "coefficients." Other than that, thank you for your participation in this week's online assignment.
