What is the Distributive Property in Math? - [6-1-7]

In this lesson, you will learn what the distributive property is in math and why it is important. The distributive property is used when we have a term or number on the outside of a parenthesis where there are terms added or subtracted inside. Another way of saying this is when we have a single term multiplied by a binomial term. In this case, the distributive property is used to multiply the outside term into the parenthesis to the terms that are inside. We distribute the term from the outside to the inside, multiplying as we distribute. The distributive property is used extensively in all levels of math, algebra, calculus, and beyond.

I have used Jason's videos for both my homeschooled kids and they have been a life saver. He explains things so simply and in a step by step way. I have even used it for more advanced math such as trigonometry.

Thank you for making this video, the way you are explaining all three of the properties of multiplication is helping me understand the properties of multiplication

Man... you explain things like a real teacher lol I'm 29 sitting here like damn it was that easy 🤣

I Am India .Tamil nadu sir I understood very well. Thank you so much. I'm studying in government school. In Tamil nadu 😀😀😀😀

This is easy...!!!
THANK YOU... SIR...!!!

Thanks a lot. I am seriously impressed with your infinite set of whiteboards. I am getting older, and I am having so much fun retracing the basics from decades back. Now I'm finally calm enough to just do the problems and enjoy the solutions for themselves. Feels like somewhere in the middle of playing a game and looking at art.

Wow very well explained.... you make it so easy to see... I thought where was he when I was in high school and then thought... not born yet.... thank you again

[math]

very well explained bro, thanks for sharing

[kimverlynchacon]

I appreciate you so much, this helped a LOT

[soandso]

I forgot what this was for a sec, thanks for making it easy for me to remember it!

[VictoriaChao-exwk]

i am very impressed that you are very good at maths

[Sopipi_]

Ey teach dis actually helped me thank you!

I think distributive property provides flexibility for multiplication and simplifies it to a greater extent.
Eg. 5×13=65 using DP
5×(10+3)=50+15=65 or
5×(15-2)=75-10=65.

Please do a video on the commutative property

Sir i catch up the idea of how to do problem solving since past night thank you

[kelanth]

What about 6÷ 2 (3+3)
Do you distribute the 2 only or 6÷ 2 ?

I wish I had this guy in math class. It would have been a lot easier.

[athenxxxxy]

What do you do if the number outside the parenthesis does not have a symbol?

[lener]

Distributive property is essential for learning algebra Thanks for the lesson btw

Maybe I'm just stupid, because my brain broke into pieces not even two minutes in. I can't understand any of this. I have a learning disability!
