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, 6 + 7 = 7 + 6.

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. For example, 3 x 5 = 5 x 3.

Front

What is the Associative Property?

Back

The Associative Property states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum or product. For example, (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4).

Front

What is the Identity Property of Addition?

Back

The Identity Property of Addition states that adding zero to any number does not change the number. For example, 5 + 0 = 5.

Front

What is the Identity Property of Multiplication?

Back

The Identity Property of Multiplication states that multiplying any number by one does not change the number. For example, 7 x 1 = 7.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a number multiplied by a sum is equal to the sum of the individual products. For example, a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Front

Provide an example of the Commutative Property of Addition.

Back

An example is 8 + 4 = 4 + 8.

Front

Provide an example of the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

Back

An example is 9 x 2 = 2 x 9.

Front

What does the equation 5 + ____ = 8 + 5 represent?

Back

This equation represents the concept of finding a missing addend. The answer is 8.

Front

What is the difference between the Commutative and Associative Properties?

Back

The Commutative Property deals with the order of numbers, while the Associative Property deals with the grouping of numbers.
