To keep the scale balanced, you add 3 more toys to both sides. Which property did you use to keep the scale balanced when you added 3 toys to both sides? Why does adding the same number to both sides of the scale keep it balanced? tiffymanay1 https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357704963 2025-03-09 22:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357704963 You’re doubling the number of cupcakes in two baskets. If you start with 6 cupcakes in each basket and you multiply the number of cupcakes by 2 in both baskets, how many cupcakes will be in each basket now? What property did you use when you multiplied both baskets by 2? How does multiplying both sides of the equation by the same number keep the situation balanced? tiffymanay1 https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357705157 2025-03-09 22:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357705157 You and your friend are playing a game where you flip a card that says "8 = y." Your friend looks at the card and says, “I can also say y = 8.” What property is your friend using to switch the sides of the equation? Why is it okay to flip the sides of the equation like this? tiffymanay1 https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357705436 2025-03-09 22:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357705436 In a game of matching cards, you see a card that says “a = a” on it. The rule is that each card should match with itself. What property is being used on this card where the number matches itself? Why is it always true that something is equal to itself? tiffymanay1 https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357705569 2025-03-09 22:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357705569 You’re organizing a party and need to distribute 3 party bags among 4 kids. If each bag has 2 toys and 3 candies, how would you figure out how many toys and candies each kid gets using the distributive property? What property did you use when you decided to multiply the toys and candies separately before giving them to the kids? How does the distributive property help in this situation? tiffymanay1 https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357705871 2025-03-09 22:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffymanay1/mpcveltcojbbxjnf/wish/3357705871
