Complete the 2 warm up questions on page M1-7 in your Carnegie book.  You can write in the book.

Did you remember how to find the area of a rectangle?  Or what area even means?  The area of a shape is the amount of space inside a shape.  To find area, we multiply length and width

       formula   A= L x W

example:   A rectangle has side lengths of 7 inches and 9 inches.       A= 7 x 9          A= 63 square inches

Learning Standard for Today : 6.EE.A.3 Apply the properties of operations (including, but not limited to,
commutative, associative, and distributive properties) to generate equivalent
expressions. The distributive property is prominent here.

Today we will be finding area of rectangles using the Distributive Property.  The Distributive Property states that a(b+c)= ab+ac.  For example, 3(2+5) = 3 x 2 + 3 x 5.

Watch this video as I work through several examples.  In the video, I will ask you to pause several times to work the problem.  Please do that on a piece of paper at home or in your textbook if the problem is from the book.  This will not be turned in.  It is just for your practice.  After you work the problem, continue the video and I will work the problem for you and you can see if you were correct.

Independent Practice

Please complete the Practice section (numbers 1-6) of page M1-13 in your textbook.

To turn in work, please scan or take a picture  of your paper and email it to me (melissa.mittlesteadt@gcstn.org).  You only have to send me page 13 not the warm-up questions from earlier in the lesson.  Our email seems to be blocking email with picture attachments right now.  I'm sorry we are trying to work through all of this.  For now please use the method below of typing in your answers.  Or another option is to use the Remind app.  It seems like you can take a picture and send it through Remind. Thank you for your patience.  

If you cannot do this, you can select submit assignment at the top of this page.  Then click on the tab for text entry, and you can type in your answers there and submit.  If you type your answer make sure you put the equation you used and then the answer.  Example:  4(3+2)= 20
