PROPERTIES OF MULTIPLICATION

Front

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

Back

The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the numbers does not change the product. For example, 3 x 4 = 4 x 3.

Front

Which example DOES NOT show the commutative property?

Back

3 x 1 = 3.

Front

What does the distributive property of multiplication mean?

Back

The distributive property states that a number multiplied by a sum is the same as multiplying each addend separately and then adding the products. For example, 4 x (3 + 2) = (4 x 3) + (4 x 2).

Front

Which equation represents the distributive property of 4 x 7?

Back

(4 x 3) + (4 x 4).

Front

How can 5 x 5 be expressed using the distributive property?

Back

(5 x 4) + (5 x 1).

Front

What is the Zero Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Zero Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by zero is equal to zero.

Front

Which expression is an example of the Zero Property of Multiplication?

Back

3 x 0 = 0.

Front

What is the identity property of multiplication?

Back

The identity property of multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains the same. For example, 7 x 1 = 7.

Front

What is an example of the identity property of multiplication?

Back

5 x 1 = 5.

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 the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).
