What is the Identity Property of Addition?

Back

The Identity Property of Addition states that adding zero to any number does not change the value of that number. For example, 9 + 0 = 9.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped when adding does not change their sum. For example, (9 + 2) + 4 = 9 + (2 + 4).

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The Commutative Property of Addition states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum. For example, 3 + 5 = 5 + 3.

Front

What is the Distributive Property? Give an example.

Back

The Distributive Property allows you to multiply a single term by two or more terms inside a set of parentheses. Example: 4(x + 8) = 4x + 32.

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped when multiplying does not change their product. For example, (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4).

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by one remains unchanged. For example, 7 × 1 = 7.

Front

What is the Inverse Property of Addition?

Back

The Inverse Property of Addition states that for every number, there is an opposite number that, when added together, equals zero. For example, 5 + (-5) = 0.
