What Is Distribution? Answer Key

This worksheet includes a full instructional model that introduces the Distributive Property step-by-step. Students first observe fully worked examples, then complete a guided example, and finally apply the process independently. The “crawl-walk-run” approach is ideal for learners who need explicit demonstration before practicing on their own. The problems progress from simple numeric expressions to slightly more complex ones involving negative numbers. Visual explanation and clear steps help students internalize the rule and understand why distribution works. This worksheet serves well as a lesson introduction or reteach resource.
