What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The order of numbers can be changed without affecting the sum. (e.g., a + b = b + a)

Front

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The way numbers are grouped does not change the sum. (e.g., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c))

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

a(b + c) = ab + ac, distributing a across the sum.

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The order of factors can be changed without affecting the product. (e.g., a * b = b * a)

Front

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The way numbers are grouped does not change the product. (e.g., (a * b) * c = a * (b * c))
