Sec 1 – 9: Order of Operations and the
Distributive Property

Objectives:
1) To use the order of operations.
2) To use the Distributive Property.
Key Concepts

 Order of Operations-
 Work inside grouping symbols
 Multiply and Divide in order from left to right
 Add and Subtract in order from left to right
Ex 1) Applying the Order of Operations

Find the value of each expression.

a) 30 ÷ 3 + 2 • 6

b) 30 ÷ (3 + 2) • 6
Check Understanding: Example 1
Find each product.

a) 7(-4 + 2) - 1

b) +2•5

c) - 11
Ex 2) Real-World Problem Solving

Construction The sheet of plywood

shown has a piece cut from one corner.
What is the area of the plywood?

Note: The length of the missing piece is 8

ft – 5 ft. The width is 4 ft – 2 ft.
Check Understanding: Example 2

Find the area of an 8.5 in x 11 in piece

of paper with a 4 in x 4 in square
removed from one corner.
Ex 3) The Distributive Property in Mental Math

Mental Math Use the distributive property to

find 6(53).
Check Understanding: Example 3

Use the distributive property to multiply

mentally.

a) 8(21)

b) 14(9)

c) 48(6)
Ex 4) Using the Distributive Property with Decimals

Mental Math Use the distributive property

to find 7(5.9).
Check Understanding: Example 4

Find each product mentally using the

distributive property.

a) 4(12.1)

b) 5(3.9)
