What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

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

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

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

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.

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.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses.

Front

What is the Identity Property of Addition?

Back

The Identity Property of Addition states that the sum of any number and zero is that number. For example, a + 0 = a.

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that the product of any number and one is that number. For example, a × 1 = a.

Front

What is the Zero Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Zero Property of Multiplication states that the product of any number and zero is zero. For example, a × 0 = 0.
