3rd Grade Properties of Multiplication

Front

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).

Front

Rewrite (9 x 6) x 5 using the Associative Property.

Back

9 x (6 x 5) is the rewritten form using the Associative Property.

Front

What is the Distributive Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a number multiplied by a sum is equal to the sum of the individual products. For example, a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c).

Front

Using the Distributive Property, how do you rewrite 12 x (4 + 3)?

Back

(12 x 4) + (12 x 3) is the rewritten form using the Distributive Property.

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 property of multiplication shows an array being switched?

Back

The Commutative Property.

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, 1 x 83 = 83.

Front

What is the Zero Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Zero Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by 0 equals 0. For example, 5 x 0 = 0.

Front

Which problem does NOT show the Zero Property?

Back

6 + 0 = 6 does not show the Zero Property.

Front

If 7 x 1 = 7, which property is being demonstrated?

Back

Identity Property of Multiplication.
