Fill in the Blanks

Substitute a number inside the statement to make the statement represent the commutative property of addition

(1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 +

)

Poll

I can identify commutative and associative properties

• Yes

• No

• I need more practice

• I can't tell the difference between the two yet

​Identity Property of Addition

​Any number added to zero will have the same number as the sum

​Identity Property of Multiplication

​Any number multiplied by 1 will result in the same number being the product.

​Distributive Property of Multiplication over addition

​The Distributive Law says that multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately.

​
