What is the Additive Identity Property of Zero?

Back

The Additive Identity Property of Zero states that when you add zero to any number, the result is that number. For example, 0 + 1/4 = 1/4.

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, 5 + 6 = 6 + 5.

Front

Which expression shows the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

a + b = b + a.

What is the Multiplicative Identity Property of One?

Back

The Multiplicative Identity Property of One states that when you multiply any number by one, the result is that number. For example, 1 x 1/3 = 1/3.

Which expression shows the Multiplicative Identity Property of One?

Back

1/3 x 3/1 = 1.

What is the Additive Identity Property of Zero?

Back

The Additive Identity Property of Zero states that adding zero to a number does not change the number. For example, 8 + 0 = 8.

Front

Which expression does NOT show the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

ab = ba does not show the Commutative Property of Addition.

Front

What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped does not change their sum. For example, (6 + 5) + 2 = 6 + (5 + 2).

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 their product. For example, (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac. It allows you to multiply a number by a sum.
