Commutative
Define the Commutative Property in your own words
The commutative property states that you can change the order of the numbers in an addition or multiplication problem and still get the same result.
Define the Associative Property in your own words
The associative property states that you can change the grouping of numbers in an addition or multiplication problem without changing the result.
Define the Distributive Property in your own words.
The distributive property states that the sum of two or more numbers multiplied by a multiplier gives the same answer as multiplying the multiplier by each number.
True
True or False?
90 + (40 + 10) = 90 x (40 x 10) is an example of the associative property.
False
True or false?
You can use the distributive property with subtraction.
True
Rewrite and solve the following using the commutative property:
50 x 105
105 x 50
Rewrite the following using the associative property:
12 + (2 + 9)
(12 + 2) + 9
Rewrite the following using the distributive property:
3(11 - 8)
3 x 11 - 3 x 8
Rewrite and solve the following using the commutative property.
21 + 19 + 47
one possible answer:
47 +21 +19 = 87
Rewrite and solve the following using the associative property:
((10 x 8) x 1) x 3
One possible combination:
(10 x 8) x (1 x 3) = 240
Rewrite and solve the following equation using the distributive property:
2(21 - 14 + 7)
