MATH MONDAY - DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY

     One lesson in math class was about Distributive Property.  We all recieved a box of foam blocks and had to use them to solve problems.  However, before we got the box, Mr. Erickon demonstrated how we would use the blocks on his board.  We used a real life situation by pretending the blocks were palettes, packs, and units being bought and shipped from a dock.  The palettes were the bigger square blocks, packs were the rectangle blocks, and the cubes were the units.  Together in our groups, we solved 10 problems by using the bloocks to solve the equation.  We then finished our worksheets and turned them in.
