SF7 Properties of Operations

Front

What is the Additive Identity Property?

Back

The Additive Identity Property states that when you add zero to any number, the result is that number. For example, u + 0 = u.

Front

What is the Distributive Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum by distributing the multiplication across each addend.

Front

What is the Additive Identity Property?

Back

The Additive Identity Property states that adding zero to a number does not change the value of that number. For example, 9 + 0 = 9.

Front

What is the Multiplicative Property of Zero?

Back

The Multiplicative Property of Zero states that any number multiplied by zero equals zero. For example, -12 x 0 = 0.

Front

What is the Multiplicative Identity Property?

Back

The Multiplicative Identity Property states that any number multiplied by one remains unchanged. For example, -9 x 1 = -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 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.

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 an example of the Distributive Property?

Back

An example of the Distributive Property is 7(k - 3) = 7k - 21.
