Explain how to use the Zero Property when multiply 100 x 0?

We know from the Zero property that any number times zero is zero, so 100 x 0 is zero.

Explain how to use the Commutative Property to solve 3 x 10.

I know how to count by tens really well, so 3 x10 = 10 x 3, which is 10, 20, 30!

300

The property where you multiply one factor by the addends of a multiple of 10, and then find the sum of those products.

ex. 3 x 20 = 3 x (10 + 10)

The Distributive Property

300

Blaise says that 4 x 30 is equal to 4 x 3 tens, which would give an answer of 7 tens. Is Blaise correct? Explain your answer.

No, Blaise is correct that 30 is equal to 3 tens, but the answer would be 12 tens.

Explain how to use place value to solve 4 x 20.

4 x 20 = 4 x 2 tens, which is 8 tens as tens as the product. The answer is 80.

What property tells me that 10x3 is the same thing as 3x10?

The Commutative Property

400

Taylor says that everytime she multiplies a number by a multiply of ten she will get an even number. Is she correct? Explain your answer.

Yes! We know that an even number times an even number is always even and an odd number times and even number is ALSO always even. Since 10 is an even number, the product will always be even.

Explain how to use the Distributive Property to solve 8 x 30.

8 x 30 = 8 x (10 + 10 + 10) = 80 + 80 + 80 = 240
500

The property that tells us when you move the grouping of factors, the answer stays the same. 

ex. 2 x (4 x 3) = (2 x 4) x 3

The Associative Property
500
Aidan says that he can use the Distributive Property to write the product 3 x 20 as 3 x (10 x 10). Is he correct? Explain your answer to be correct.

No, to use the Distributive property, Aidan would want to rewrite 3 x 20 as 3 x (10 + 10). 10 x 10 is 100.

Explain how to use the Associative Property to solve 5 x 40.

5 x 40 = 5 x (10 x 4) = (5 x 4) x 10 = 20 x 10 = 200
