Commutative, Associative, Distributive Property

Which property states that you can change the order of the numbers when adding/multiplying and STILL get the same answer?

• commutative property

• associative property

• distributive property

Which property states that you can change the grouping when adding/multiplying and STILL get the same answer?

• commutative property

• associative property

• distributive property

True or False? Commutative property can be used with subtraction/division.

• True, you can change the order with these operations and get the same answer.

• False, you cannot change the order because it gives you a different answer.

Determine which equation shows associative property.

• (a + b) + c = a + (b+ c)

• abc = cab

• a(b+c) = ab + ac

• (a+b) + c = (b+a) + c
