Question
Answer
Associative Property of Addition   For this property, the order of the numbers stays the same and the parentheses move. EX: 2 + ( 3 + 4 ) = ( 2 + 3 ) + 4  
🗑
Associative Property of Multiplication   For this property, the order of the numbers stays the same and the parentheses move. EX: 2 ( 3 x 4 ) = ( 2 x 3 ) x 4  
🗑
Commutative Property of Addition   For this property you add two numbers together and then reverse the order on the other side. EX: 4 + 6 = 6 + 4  
🗑
Commutative Property of Multiplication   For this property you multiply numbers together and reverse the order of these numbers on the other side. EX: 2 + ( 3 x 5 ) = 2 + ( 5 x 3 )  
🗑
Identity Property of Addition   For this property you must start and end with the same number and the operation must be addition. EX: 5 + 0 = 5  
🗑
Identity Property of Multiplication   For this property you must start and end with the same number and the operation must be multiplication. EX: 4 x 1 = 4  
🗑
Inverse Property of Addition   For this property you must add the opposite of the term and the sum equals zero. EX: 5x + ( - 5x ) = 0  
🗑
Inverse Property of Multiplication   For this property you must divide or multiply by the reciprocal of the first term to come up with a value of one. EX: (4/3)x(3/4)=1  
🗑
Distributive Property   When you multiply a term through a set of parentheses. EX: 4(x-1) = 4x-4  
🗑
Natural Numbers   The set of all counting numbers. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...}  
🗑
Whole Numbers   The set of all counting numbers with 0 also included. {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...}  
🗑
Integers   The set of all whole numbers including the negative of these numbers. These are the positive and negative "nice" numbers.  
🗑
Rational Numbers   The set of all fractions, repeating decimals, and terminating decimals. EX: 2/3, 1.7777..., 4.9  
🗑
Irrational Numbers   The set of all non-terminating AND non-repeating decimals. This set includes the square roots that cannot be simplified down to whole numbers.  
🗑
