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.

[@MathAndScience]

Awesome to hear this. Thank you!

[@WiCapitalco]

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

[@MathAndScience]

Awesome. Glad to help!

[@yashika8418]

29!? Um i m 12 you don't even know this wtf👁️👄👁️

​​@@yashika8418do not judge OP. Some people do not/haven't had access to formal learning. OP could of had a poor childhood in which he/she didn't learn math or similar things. Although the most likely explanation for them not knowing this is that they probably didn't give a fuck in school or pay attention, anyways Have a lovely day.

@@yashika8418bro u watch anime, please don't comment hahaha 🤣

[@user-ip3kt3te1o]

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

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

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.

[@williamreeder3660]

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

[@soandso4204]

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

[@tresajessygeorge210]

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

[@VictoriaChao-ex7wk]

i am very impressed that you are very good at maths

[@hemarajue2736]

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.

[@MathAndScience]

Yes for sure!

[@Sopipi_]

Ey teach dis actually helped me thank you!

[@raisasongvlog3612]

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

[@kimverlynchacon9940]

I appreciate you so much, this helped a LOT

[@OasisNile]

How does this property function in the following equation 100÷4(2+3)

[@cmorr72]

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

[@MathAndScience]

Thanks so much!

[@stevphenrose7820]

Great teacher👍

[@242math]

very well explained bro, thanks for sharing

[@lener6345]

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

[@MathAndScience]

Welcome!

[@christianegbe5039]

Very impress with this study

[@drumtwo4seven]

Please do a video on the commutative property

[@acentasecond3721]

Very useful thank you for this!

[@LourenciaHaipanguli]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kelanth462]

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

[@shikhachhabra8359]

Thanks again 😂

[@PhuocNguyen-js6hy]

Great video 👍👍❤️❤️👍👍

[@baseerahmad8778]

Good job

[@ericmckinney-hill3591]

Argument online right now is 100÷4(2+3). Some say 5, others say 125. I'm team 5

[@svenwaldmann4387]

Excellent

[@athenxxx4976xy]

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

[@thatswhatsgood24]

The same thing. No symbol implies multiplication

[@artbyanjali7163]

Nice sharing

[@deqaabdi9740]

Thanks.

[@meviouskalalejunior1918]

Thanx for sharing

I learned this when I was 12. I used it in engineering to make money. Now I am 70 and they want to redistribute my wealth:(

[@elsalanchester8495]

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!

[@davez2796]

imong amam

[@POWERFAN995]

This is not complicated at all.

[@MathAndScience]

Great to hear!
