Commutative Property of Multiplication

Using the commutative property, what is another way to write 4 x 2 = 8?

(a)  

Using the Commutative Property, how else can we build this array?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Joe collects 12 apples in his basket. Which TWO arrays can Joe make with his apples?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Using the Commutative Property, how else can we write

5 x 7 = 35?

(a)  

Using the Commutative Property, how else can we write 9 x 4 = 36?

• 6 x 6 = 36

• 30 + 6 = 36

• 4 x 9 = 36

• 36 / 6 = 6

Using the Commutative property, which two multiplication sentences can we write with factors 4 and 8?

• 4 + 8 = 12

  8+ 4 = 12

• 4 x 8 = 32

  8 x 4 = 32

• 32 / 4 = 8

  8 x 4 = 32

• 32 / 8 = 4

  4 x 8 = 32

Using these two factors, show the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

6 and 7

• 6 x 7 = 42

  7 x 6 = 42

• 6 + 7 = 13

  7 + 6 = 13

• 42 / 7 = 6

  42 / 6 = 7

• 42 / 7 = 6

  6 x 7 = 42

Which two number sentences using the pair of factors are showing the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

3 and 1

• 3 x 1 = 3 and 1 x 3 = 3

• 3 + 1 = 4 and 1 + 3 = 4

• 3 x 1 = 3 and 3 x 1 = 3

• 3 x 1 = 4 and 1 x 3 = 4

Which two number sentences show the Commutative Property of Multiplication using factors 5 and 9?

• 5 + 9 = 14

  9 + 5 = 14

• 14 - 9 = 5

  14 - 5 = 9

• 45 / 9 = 5

  45 / 5 = 9

• 9 x 5 = 45

  5 x 9 = 45

Using the Commutative Property, which two equations do these arrays represent?

• 2 x 3 = 6

  3 x 3 = 9

• 3 x 2 = 6

  2 x 3 = 6

• 2 + 4 = 6

  2 x 3 = 6

• 3+3 = 6

  3 x 3 = 9
