Properties of Multiplication

Front

What is the Zero Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Zero Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by zero equals zero.

Front

Which number can I multiply ANY number by, and get that number?

Back

1 is the number that can be multiplied by any number to get that number (Identity Property).

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the numbers does not change the product. (e.g., 3 x 4 = 4 x 3).

Front

What is the Associative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Associative Property of Multiplication states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change the product. (e.g., (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4)).

Front

Which property is shown in the equation 0 × 27 = 0?

Back

This shows the Zero Property of Multiplication.

Front

Which equation does NOT show the Zero Property of Multiplication?

Back

6 + 0 = 6 does NOT show the Zero Property.

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged.

Front

Give an example of the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

Back

An example is 5 x 2 = 2 x 5.

Front

Give an example of the Associative Property of Multiplication.

Back

An example is (3 x 4) x 2 = 3 x (4 x 2).

Front

What does the equation 6 x 2 = 2 x 6 illustrate?

Back

It illustrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication.
