Back

6 + 5.

Front

What is the Inverse Property of Addition?

Back

For every number a, there exists a number -a such that a + (-a) = 0.

Front

What is the Associative Property?

Back

The way numbers are grouped in addition or multiplication does not change the result. For example, (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4).

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum.

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The order of numbers can be changed in addition without changing the sum. For example, 3 + 4 = 4 + 3.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The way numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).
