Properties of multiplication

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains the same. For example, 4 x 1 = 4.

Front

What is the Distributive Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a number multiplied by a sum is equal to the sum of the products. For example, 3 x (6 + 3) = (3 x 6) + (3 x 3).

Front

Give an example of the Identity Property of Multiplication.

Back

1 x 6 = 6 is an example of the Identity Property.

Front

What does the Distributive Property allow you to do?

Back

The Distributive Property allows you to break down a multiplication problem into smaller parts to make it easier to solve.

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property states that changing the order of the numbers in a multiplication problem does not change the product. For example, 3 x 4 = 4 x 3.

Front

Give an example of the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

Back

3 x 5 = 5 x 3 is an example of the Commutative Property.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property states that the way numbers are grouped in multiplication does not change the product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).

Front

Give an example of the Associative Property of Multiplication.

Back

(1 x 2) x 3 = 1 x (2 x 3) is an example of the Associative Property.

Front

What is the result of 4 x 1?

Back

4 x 1 = 4, demonstrating the Identity Property.

Front

What is the result of 3 x 9 using the Distributive Property?

Back

3 x 9 = (3 x 6) + (3 x 3) = 18 + 9 = 27.
