In this seminar you will look at the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to better understand how they are used in mathematics. You may see some similarities among these properties, but you will find large differences as well. These differences are important to recognize when completing problems, or else you will find yourself getting wrong answers. You will also explore identity and inverses, which are used so often in math (often without your even knowing it!). A majority of the time will be spent on the distributive property as it tends to be the property used most moving forward in math. Understanding these basic number properties is important in working with numbers and equations later in the course.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.2Write expressions in equivalent forms to solve problems.
