What property says that anything times zero is zero

Zero Property

100

Draw a square.  One side is 3ft.  Give me an equation to find the perimeter and label it.

3+3+3+3=12ft

100

Draw a square.  One side is 6in.  Give an equation to find the area and label.

Area = L x W

All sides on a square are equal so, 

6 x 6 = 36 square in

200

What property says that anything times 1 is the other number

Identity Property

200

Draw a rectangle.  One long side is 6in.  One shorter side is 4in.  Give an equation to find the perimeter and label.

6+4+6+4=20in

200
Draw a rectangle.  The length (longer side) is 8cm. The width is 4cm.  Give an equation to find the area and label.

Area = L x W

8 x 4 = 32 square cm

300

What property is the "turn around fact"

Commutative Property

300

Draw a square.  One side is 9cm.  Give an equation to find the perimeter and label it.

9+9+9+9=36cm

300

Draw a rectangle.  The area is 32ft.  The width is 4ft. What is the other side?  Give an equation to find the missing side and label.

Area = L x W

32 = ? x 4

32 divided by 4 = 8ft

400

What property breaks a multiplication fact into 2 smaller facts to make it easier to solve

Distributive Property

400
Draw a rectangle.  

The perimeter is 24in. One side is 3in.  What is the other side?

Opposite sides are equal, so if one side is 3in, the opposite side is 3in, which together makes 6in.

24-6=18, so if I divide 18 in half, I get 9.  So the other side is 9in.

9+3+9+3=24in.

400

Draw a rectangle.  The area is 20in.  The length is 4ft. What is the width?  Give an equation to find the missing side.  Then find the perimeter by giving an equation and labeling it.

Area = L x W

20 = 4 x ?

20 divided by 4 = 5in

The missing side is 5in.

Perimeter is  4 + 5 + 4 + 5= 18in

500

What property says that when you multiply 3 numbers, you can multiply them in any order and still get the same answer

Associative Property

500

Draw a square.  The perimeter is 28ft.  What would each side equal?

All sides are equal in a square.  28 divided by 4=7.

7+7+7+7=28, so each side is 7ft.

500

Draw a rectangle.  The perimeter is 24cm.  The longer side is 7in.  What is the AREA of the rectangle?  Give equations to solve and label.

If one side is 7, the opposite side is 7 too, so 7+7=14.  

24-14=10, so take half of 10 and you get 5.  So the missing sides are each 5.  

Area = L x w

A = 7 x 5 = 35 square cm
