Do not simply share this link with your students.
Instead, once you have added it to your drive, you’ll need to use Google
Classroom to assign it to your students.
Make sure you select the option to make each student a copy when you
assign it. (You don’t want them all editing the same copy.)
Before assigning it, you can edit your copy of the file that you saved in your
drive. You can delete extra slides you don’t want to use. You can cut and
paste them into a new Google slide to create additional assignments for
later use. You can also rearrange the slides.
Mess up? Don’t worry. You can always return to this file and get a new copy

What is the associative property?
ASSOCIATIVE
1x6x2=12 PROPERTY:
• the order you multiply
the factors does not
(1x6)x2=12 matter
• you can multiply any
two factors first, then
1x(6x2)=12 multiply the product by
the third factor
• the product will always
be same
