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 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 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).

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 × b) × c = a × (b × c).

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 Symmetric Property of Equality?

Back

The Symmetric Property of Equality states that if a = b, then b = a.

Front

What is the Reflexive Property of Equality?

Back

The Reflexive Property of Equality states that any quantity is equal to itself. For example, a = a.

Front

What is the Transitive Property of Equality?

Back

The Transitive Property of Equality states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.
