Property
Description
Commutative Property of Addition   CHANGE ORDER. Addends may be added in any order and the sum of the addends is the same.  
🗑
Commutitive Prpoerty of Multiplication   CHANGE ORDER. Factors may be multiplied in any order and the product is the same.  
🗑
Associative Property of Addition   CHANGE GROUPING. For 3 or more addends, the grouping (not the order) may be changed and the sum of the addends is the same.  
🗑
Associative Property of Multiplication   CHANGE GROUPING. For 3 or more factors, the grouping (not the order) can be changed and the product is the same.  
🗑
Property of the Opposite of the Opposite   For any real number x, -(-x) = x. The oposite of the opposite is the original number.  
🗑
Additive Identity Property   Additive Identity is 0. Property: If 0 is added to any real number, the result is the original number.  
🗑
Multiplicative Identity   The multiplicative Identity is 1. Property: When any real number is multiplied by 1, the result is the original number.  
🗑
Property of Additive Inverses   Opposite = Inverse. Property: Every real number has a unique additive inverse and their sum is 0. a + (-a) = 0 The sum of any real number and its opposite is 0.  
🗑
Property of Multiplicative Inverses   Inverse = Reciprocal. Property: For any nonzero real number a, there is a unique real number 1/a such that their product is 1. a * 1/a = 1 Any real number multiplied by its reciprocal is 1.  
🗑
Distributive Property   MULTIPLY TO CONVERT a PRODUCT a(b + c) or a(b - c) into a SUM (ab + ac) or DIFFERENCE (ab - ac). FACTOR TO CONVERT a SUM (ab + ac) or DIFFERENCE (ab - ac) into a PRODUCT a(b + c) or a(b - c).  
🗑
Other Properties Involvng 1   a/1 = a Any real number divided by 1 is the number. a/a = 1 Any real number divided by itself is 1. 1^n = 1 One raised to any natural number exponent is 1.  
🗑
Other Properties Involving 0   0/a = a Zero divided by any nonzero real number is 0. 0^n = 0 Zero raised to any natural number exponent is 0.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
