Associative Property Flashcard

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

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

Front

Illustrate the Associative Property of Multiplication with numbers.

Back

Example: 4 x (5 x 6) = (4 x 5) x 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 their sum. For example, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).

Illustrate the Associative Property of Addition with numbers.

Back

Example: 2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4.

What is the missing number in the equation: 4 + (____ + 5) = (4 + 7) + 5?

Back

The missing number is 7.

Rewrite (9 x 6) x 5 using the Associative Property.

Back

(9 x 6) x 5 = 9 x (6 x 5).

Front

What is the result of 5 × (2 × 9)?

Back

5 × (2 × 9) = (5 × 2) × 9.

Front

If a + b = c, what is a + (b + d) equal to?

Back

a + (b + d) = (a + b) + d.

Front

What does it mean to 'group' numbers in multiplication?

Back

Grouping numbers means to use parentheses to indicate which numbers are multiplied together first.

Front

Provide an example of the Associative Property of Multiplication with different numbers.

Back

Example: 3 x (2 x 4) = (3 x 2) x 4.
