Numeric Distribution Answer Key

This worksheet organizes Distributive Property practice into clearly labeled categories so students can focus on specific skill strands. They simplify expressions that involve distribution over addition and subtraction, reverse distribution for factoring, negative coefficients, and rational-number multiplication. Each section provides multiple examples that help learners master a single concept before moving on. The intentional structure supports scaffolding and differentiation. This worksheet works well as guided practice or structured review before moving into algebraic distribution with variables.
