This lesson is the second lesson for the standard 6.EE.3. The Distributive Property is a crucial concept in mathematics. The warm up in the lesson is a multiplication problem where the Distributive Property was used. This will trigger students to start to think about multiplication this way to prep them for the Distributive Property. The lesson finishes with an Exit Slip that contains three terms inside the parentheses. This was designed to push students to think about the process of the Distributive Property. Aligned to Common Core State Standard: 6.EE.3

Excellent lesson. The students are actually not asked to multiply or divide integers like the comments says. The lesson just has students using the distributive property with negative numbers and are not asked to evaulate the expression -2(4).

This would be very useful if it didn't include problems in which students need to be able to multiply and divide integers (which is not taught until 7th grade)
