The class used a lever for practice of the distributive property.

Where the fulcrum is placed can change the distance a load moves when an effort is put to the other end.



They built levers from the Simple machine sets.
Press down on the blue place and the upside down red brick will fly onto the game.

Get three numbers.  Multiply the first by the sum of the last two.

Or multiply the first times each of the last two and find the sum.
