 The distributive property is modeled through the algebra tiles by demonstrating that a(b+c)=(a×b)+(a×c).One would want to model what is being represented on both sides of the equation separately and determine that they are both equal to each other.If we want to show that formula_18 then we would make three sets of one unit tile and one x tile and then combine them together to see if would have formula_19, which we would.
