Exploring Math Properties and Operations

Mr. Basham reviews mathematical properties, including identity, distributive, communative, and associative properties. He provides examples and exercises to help students understand these concepts. The video concludes with instructions for completing worksheets.

What should students do if they missed the last class?

• Watch the video again

• Get notes from Mrs. Williams or a table partner

• Skip the class

• Ask a friend

Which equation demonstrates the identity property of multiplication?

• a + a + a = 3a

• a * 1 = a

• a * b = b * a

• a + b + c = c + b + a

Which property is shown by the equation 6 * (8 + 7) = 6 * 8 + 6 * 7?

• Commutative Property

• Associative Property

• Distributive Property

• Identity Property

Which of the following does NOT show the commutative property?

• 7 + y = y + 7

• y * x = x * y

• x + y = y + x
