3rd Grade It’s Distributed! Math Multiplication One of the multiplication properties is distributive, which means you can multiply a sum or difference by multiplying each number separately and then adding or subtracting the products. A × (B + C) = A x B + A x C A × (B - C) = A x B - A x C Find the product. 7 x (5 + 2) = 7 x (_____) = (7 x 5) + (7 x 2) = (_____) + (_____) = 3 x (8 - 4) = 3 x (_____) = (3 x 8) - (3 x 4) = (_____) - (_____) = Rewrite the equations. See the example. 5 x (6 + 1) = 8 x (10 + 2) = = = = = 9 x (9 - 3) = = = Copyright © 2010-2011 by Education.com Find worksheets, games, lessons & more at education.com/resources More worksheets at www.education.com/worksheets © 2007 - 2019 Education.com
