Math Properties Review 12/2

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, 254 x 1 = 254.

What does the Associative Property of Addition state?

Back

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum. For example, (21 + 16) + 7 = 21 + (16 + 7).

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, 17 x 9 = 9 x 17.

Front

What is the Multiplicative Identity?

Back

The Multiplicative Identity states that any number multiplied by 1 equals the number itself. For example, 1 x n = n.

Front

Which equation does not show the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The equation ab = ba does not show the Commutative Property of Addition; it shows the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The Commutative Property of Addition states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. For example, a + b = b + a.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac, meaning you can distribute a number across a sum.

Front

What is the Identity Property of Addition?

Back

The Identity Property of Addition states that any number plus 0 remains unchanged. For example, n + 0 = n.

Front

What is the Multiplicative Property of Zero?

Back

The Multiplicative Property of Zero states that any number multiplied by 0 equals 0. For example, 5 x 0 = 0.
