Properties of Addition and Multiplication

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, 12 x 1 = 12.

Front

What is the Inverse Property of Addition?

Back

The Inverse Property of Addition states that for any number 'a', there exists a number '-a' such that a + (-a) = 0. For example, 8 + (-8) = 0.

What property is demonstrated by the equation 12 + 7 = 7 + 12?

Back

This demonstrates the Commutative Property of Addition, which states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 5 x (7 + 9) = (5 x 7) + (5 x 9).

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 Addition?

Back

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

Front

What is the Zero Property of Multiplication?

Back

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

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, (a x b) x c = a x (b x c).

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, a x b = b x a.
