Properties of Multiplication

3 x 5 = 5 x 3 is an example of which property?

• Associative

• Distributive

• Commutative

The commutative property of multiplication says "The order of factors in a multiplication problem...."

• should always be from least to greatest

• Should always be from greatest to least

• won't change the product

• can never be changed

Rewrite 9 x (6 x 5) using the associative property:

• 270

• (9 x 6) x 5

• 9 x 6 + 6 x 5

• 965

Which property tells us that 6 x 4 = 24 AND 4 x 6 = 24?

• Associative Property

• Commutative Property

• Distributive Property

4 x 3 =

• 12

• 9

• 7

• 18

Using the Associative Property, find the product of 2, 7, and 3.

• 42

• 52

• 62

• 72

What number is missing from the table?

• 11

• 120

• 50

• 30

10x3

• 30

• 15

• 13

• 27

6 x 3 =

• 15

• 18

• 21

• 24

According to the distributive property, another way to solve 12 x 6 is...

• (10 x 6) + (2 x 6)

• 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 +12 +12

• 12 + 6
