Exploring the Commutative Property of Multiplication

This video tutorial introduces the commutative property of multiplication, explaining how changing the order of factors does not affect the product. The lesson includes practical examples, such as arranging bird cages and visual models, to demonstrate the concept. The teacher uses relatable analogies and visual aids to reinforce understanding, concluding with a call to action for viewers to engage with the content.

What is the main topic of this lesson?

• Associative Property of Addition

• Identity Property of Multiplication

• Distributive Property of Multiplication

• Commutative Property of Multiplication

How many rows of bird cages did Beverly arrange initially?

• 10 rows

• 15 rows

• 5 rows

• 3 rows

What multiplication sentence represents 5 rows of 3 tiles?

• 5 x 5 = 25

• 3 x 3 = 9

• 5 x 3 = 15

• 3 x 5 = 15

If Beverly arranges the cages in 3 equal rows, what is the multiplication sentence?

• 5 x 5 = 25

• 3 x 3 = 9

• 5 x 3 = 15

• 3 x 5 = 15

Why do 5 rows of 3 and 3 rows of 5 both equal 15?

• Because they both make arrays of 15 tiles

• Because they both make arrays of 25 tiles

• Because they both make arrays of 10 tiles

• Because they both make arrays of 20 tiles

What does the commutative property of multiplication state?

• Changing the order of the factors does not change the sum

• Changing the order of the factors changes the sum

• Changing the order of the factors does not change the product

• Changing the order of the factors changes the product

How many puppies are there in 2 groups of 3?

• 9 puppies

• 6 puppies

• 3 puppies

• 12 puppies

What is the multiplication sentence for 3 groups of 4?

• 4 x 4 = 16

• 3 x 4 = 12

• 4 x 3 = 12

• 3 x 3 = 9

What is the result of 2 rows of 5 tiles?

• 5 tiles

• 10 tiles

• 15 tiles

• 20 tiles

What is the commutative property of multiplication demonstrated by 5 rows of 2?

• 2 x 5 = 10

• 5 x 2 = 10

• Both A and B

• None of the above
