I love math!

But what's the deal with

all of the properties?

review some of the basics!

Let's get started!

It means order
does not matter!

What does the commutative

property mean, you ask?

It means that order does

not matter.

There are both addition and multiplication commutative

properties.

Commutative Property of Addition

b + c = c + b

check it out: 3 + 2 = 2 + 3

(both are 5!)

and

Commutative Property of Multiplication

b * c = c * b

check it out: 4 * 3 = 3 * 4 (both are 12!)

Okay, simple enough. But

what about the Associative

property?

text ttestext

That's easy, too!

The Associative Property means that the way we

group numbers does not matter.

Again, it works for both addition and multiplication.

Examples:

Associative Property of Addition

(2 + 1) + 3 = 2 + (1 + 3)

Check it out: Both are equal to 6!

Associative Property of Multiplication

(2 * 5) * 3 = 2 * (5 * 3)

Check it out: Both are equal to 30!

Okay! And over here there
is information about the

Okay, I understand now!

Look! Over here there is information

about the distributive property!

The Distributive Property works when you have a

multiplication and addition problem with parenthesis,

like this:

c * (d + f)

It means that you can multiply the number outside of

the parenthesis by both of the numbers inside, so what

you have left is something like this: cd + cf

Check it out:

5 * (2 + 3) = 10 + 15

Both are equal to 25!

Hmmm..

Phew. That was a

tough one.

and there

But don't worry,

this next one is a

piece of cake!

The Additive Identity property states that

when you have a number, and you add zero to

it, the sum is always equal to the first number!

So e + 0 = e

Check it out:

4 + 0 = 4

27 + 0 = 27

See what I mean?

+ 0 =

Wow, that was easy!

So is this one!

The Multiplicative Identity is very similar! It

means that when you multiply any number by 1,

the product is always equal to the first number!

So J * 1 = J

Check it Out:

9 * 1 = 9

84 * 1 = 84

* 1 =
