Exploring the Properties of Multiplication

The video tutorial introduces the properties of multiplication, focusing on the commutative, identity, and zero properties. Through examples involving apples, strawberries, and cookies, the tutorial demonstrates how the order of factors does not affect the product, any number multiplied by one remains the same, and any number multiplied by zero results in zero. The tutorial aims to help children understand these fundamental properties through engaging examples and interactive questions.

How many apples does Gino have if he has 3 baskets with 4 apples each?

• 8

• 12

• 14

• 10

What is the commutative property of multiplication?

• Changing the order of factors changes the product

• Changing the order of factors does not affect the product

• Multiplying by zero gives zero

• Multiplying by one gives the same number

If 4 baskets have 5 apples each, how many apples are there in total?

• 15

• 20

• 25

• 30

Which of the following illustrates the commutative property?

• 4 x 5 = 5 x 4

• 4 x 5 = 4 x 5

• 4 x 5 = 4 + 5

• 4 x 5 = 20

What is the identity property of multiplication?

• Multiplying by two doubles the number

• Any number multiplied by one is the number itself

• Any number multiplied by zero is zero

• Changing the order of factors does not affect the product

What is the zero property of multiplication?

• Any number multiplied by one is the number itself

• Any number multiplied by zero is zero

• Changing the order of factors does not affect the product

• Multiplying by two doubles the number
