Flashcard on Math Properties

Front

Which property of addition does 5 + 0 = 5 illustrate?

Back

Identity Property: This property states that when you add zero to any number, the result is the same number.

Front

Which is an example of the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

(4 + 3) + 7 = 4 + (3 + 7): This property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in addition does not change the sum.

Front

Which of the following is an example of the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

5 + 8 = 8 + 5: This property states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.

Front

Which of the following does NOT show the Commutative Property?

Back

xy - 7 = xy: This expression does not demonstrate the commutative property as it involves subtraction.

Front

Simplify this expression: 2(y + z)

Back

2y + 2z: This is an application of the Distributive Property, which states that a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Front

What is the Zero Property of Addition?

Back

The Zero Property states that any number plus zero equals the number itself.

Front

What does the Distributive Property state?

Back

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

Front

Provide an example of the Distributive Property.

Back

3(4 + 5) = 3*4 + 3*5 = 12 + 15 = 27.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The Associative Property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in addition does not affect the sum.

Front

Give an example of the Identity Property of Addition.

Back

7 + 0 = 7: Adding zero to a number does not change its value.
