What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, a * 1 = a.

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).
