Provide an example of the Commutative Property of Addition.

Back

An example of the Commutative Property of Addition is 6 + 4 = 4 + 6.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped in addition does not change the sum. For example, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).

Front

What does the Associative Property of Multiplication state?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. For example, (a × b) × c = a × (b × c).

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. For example, a × b = b × a.

What is the Identity Property of Addition?

Back

The Identity Property of Addition states that for any number a, a + 0 = a.

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that for any number a, a × 1 = a.

Front

How does the Inverse Property of Multiplication work?

Back

The Inverse Property of Multiplication states that for any non-zero number a, there exists a number 1/a such that a × (1/a) = 1.

Front

What is an example of the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

An example of the Associative Property of Multiplication is (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4).

Front

What does the Commutative Property of Addition imply about the order of numbers?

Back

The Commutative Property of Addition implies that the order in which two numbers are added does not affect the sum.
