What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, 1 x 3 = 3.

What does the Commutative Property of Addition state?

Back

The Commutative Property of Addition states that changing the order of the numbers being added does not change the sum. For example, 3 + 5 = 5 + 3.

What is the Identity Property of Addition?

Back

The Identity Property of Addition states that any number added to 0 remains unchanged. For example, 12 + 0 = 12.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way numbers are grouped when adding does not change the sum. For example, (A + B) + C = A + (B + C).

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way numbers are grouped when multiplying does not change the product. For example, (A x B) x C = A x (B x C).

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the numbers being multiplied does not change the product. For example, 2 x 3 = 3 x 2.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a number multiplied by a sum is equal to the sum of the individual products. For example, A x (B + C) = A x B + A x C.

Front

What is an example of the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

An example is 7 x 1 = 7, where multiplying by 1 does not change the value.

Front

What is an example of the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

An example is 4 + 6 = 6 + 4, where the order of addition does not affect the sum.

Front

What is an example of the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

An example is (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4), where the grouping of numbers does not affect the sum.
