In this video, we’ll use patterns and the distributive property to prove this rule visually on the lightboard! You’ll see how number patterns naturally lead to this result — no memorization, just logic and math beauty. Perfect for middle school, Algebra 1, or SAT prep students who want to deeply understand signed number operations. Drop a comment if this visual made the concept click
