What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped in an addition problem does not change the sum. For example, (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4).

What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The Commutative Property of Addition states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change the sum. For example, 3 + 5 = 5 + 3.

What is the Additive Identity?

Back

The Additive Identity is the number 0, because adding 0 to any number does not change the value of that number. For example, 7 + 0 = 7.

What is the Additive Inverse?

Back

The Additive Inverse of a number is the value that, when added to the original number, results in zero. For example, the additive inverse of 5 is -5, because 5 + (-5) = 0.

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

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

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, 9 × 1 = 9.
