Math Properties

Front

Which property states that you can change the grouping when adding/multiplying and STILL get the same answer?

Back

associative property

Front

Which property states that you can change the order of the numbers when adding/multiplying and STILL get the same answer?

Back

commutative property

Front

True or False? Commutative property can be used with subtraction/division.

Back

False, you cannot change the order because it gives you a different answer.

Front

True or False? Associative property can be used when subtracting/dividing.

Back

False, you cannot change the grouping in subtraction/division problems.

Front

Determine which equation shows associative property: (a + b) + c = a + (b+ c), abc = cab, a(b+c) = ab + ac, (a+b) + c = (b+a) + c

Back

(a + b) + c = a + (b+ c)

Front

Determine which equation shows associative property: 2 + 4 + 6 = 6 + 4 + 2, (2 + 4) + 6 = 2 + (4+6), 2 (6-4) = 2(6) - 2(4) , (2+4) + 6 = (4+2)+6

Back

(2 + 4) + 6 = 2 + (4+6)

Front

Determine which equation shows commutative property: 7 + 3 = 10 , 7 + 3 = 3 + 7 , 2 x 6 = 3 x 4 , 2(4-3) = 2(4) - 2(3)

Back

7 + 3 = 3 + 7

Front

Determine which equation shows commutative property: 7y + 8 + 10 y = 17y + 8, 7y + 8 + 10 y = 7y + 10y + 8, 7y + 8 + 10y = 8(7y + 10y)

Back

7y + 8 + 10 y = 7y + 10y + 8

Front

Determine which equation shows distributive property: 8(10-2) = 8(10) - 8(2), 8(10-2) = 8(10) + 8(2), 8(10-2) = 8(10) x 8(2), 8(10-2) = (8x10)-2

Back

8(10-2) = 8(10) - 8(2)

Front

Determine which equation shows distributive property: a(b+c) = ab + ac, ab + ac = abc, ab + c = ba + c, a(b+c) = (a x b) + c

Back

a(b+c) = ab + ac
