Properties of Addition and Multiplication

Properties of Addition and Multiplication

Characteristics of operations that are always true.

Commutative Property of Addition

Order of addends does not matter

7+6=13

6+7=13

Commutative Property of Multiplication

Order of the factors does not matter.

3 x 2 = 6

2 x 3 = 6

Associative Property of Addition

Order stays the same - grouped differently

(3+2)+6= 11

3+(2+6)= 11

Associative Property of Multiplication

Order remains the same - groupings are different

Distributive Property

AKA: Break it down

Identity Property of Addition

Any number is added to 0 the sum will be the same.

Identity Property of Multiplication

1 is the magic number! Anything multiplied by 1 stays the same.
