Summative Assessment on Criterion B

(MYP Year 1 - Get to the Point!) Question: How can you use the distributive property to do mental math?
STEP 1: Complete the table Use the distributive property and mental math to find the total cost for each of the rows in the table. Explain how you found the totals.

Number of Items Purchased 3

Cost per Item

Apply the Distributive Property

Total Cost

$1.02

3 (1.00 + 1.02) = 3 (1.00) + 3 (0.02) = 3.00 + 0.06 7 (5.00 - 0.05) = 7 (5.00) +7(-0.05) = 35.00 - 0.35 6 (4.00 - 0.05) = 6(4.00) + 6 (0.05) = 24.00 - 0.30 12 ( 1.00 + 0.02 ) = 12 ( 1.00) + 12 (0.02) = 12.00 + 0.24 8 (6.00 + 0.05 ) = 8 (6.00) +8 (0.05) = 48.00 + 0.40 5(3.00 + 0.12) = 5 (3.00) + 5 (0.12) =

$3.06

$4.95

$34.65

6 12 8 5 2

$3.95 $1.02 $6.05 $3.12 $8.96

$23.70 $12.24 $48.40

STEP 2: Compare For each row in the table, compare the total you obtained using the distributive property to the total you would get if you multiplied directly. For example, you know that 3(1.02) = 3(1.00 + 0.02), so check to see if 3(1.02) = 3(1.00) + 3(.02). DRAW CONCLUSIONS Use your observations to complete these exercises.

Use mental math to find the product.

1): 6 (1.02) 2): 2 (3.99) 3): 5 (12.05) Now..... Describe two ways to use the distributive property to find the product 8(4.50), one that uses addition and one that uses subtraction.

As you pull your conclusions together, consider this question...... how do you decide whether to multiply one factor by a sum or a difference?

You will be assessed summatively on Criterion B for this task. The rubric is detailed below. Please aim to produce a clear, detailed report that attempts to meet the criteria of this rubric.

Criterion B: Investigating patterns

0 12

The student does not reach a standard described by any of the descriptors below. The student applies, with some guidance, mathematical problem-solving techniques to recognize simple patterns. The student applies mathematical problemsolving techniques to recognize patterns, and suggests relationships or general rules. The student selects and applies mathematical problem-solving techniques to recognize patterns, describes them as relationships or general rules, and draws conclusions consistent with findings. The student selects and applies mathematical problem-solving techniques to recognize patterns, describes them as

relationships or general rules, draws the correct conclusions consistent with the correct findings, and provides justifications or a proof.

Please aim to identify patterns and offer correct conclusions which provide justifications or a proof. A justification gives valid reasons or evidence to support the conclusion and explain why the rule is valid. A proof is a mathematical demonstration of the truth of the relationship or general rule.
