How do you estimate a multiplication problem?

Back

To estimate a multiplication problem, round the numbers to the nearest ten or hundred and then multiply. This gives a quick approximation of the actual product.

What is the multiplication table?

Back

The multiplication table is a chart that shows the products of pairs of numbers, typically from 1 to 12. It helps in learning and memorizing multiplication facts.

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

Back

The commutative property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. For example, 4 x 5 = 5 x 4.

What is the associative property of multiplication?

Back

The associative property states that the way in which factors are grouped does not change the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).
