Distributive property of multiplication over addition.

Make a lever to toss a piece onto the game.
Toss three times.
Add the last two numbers and multiply by the first
or
Multiply first by second and multiply first by third
and add the two products.
Example: 2(10+2) is 2 x 12
or 20 + 4
Both have the same answer. 24
The students did the game 5 times and added to see who got the highest grand total.
Looking through the laptops we found the ones with WeDoTM
so we are ready for next week.
