🗑
Square of Square Root Property   For any nonnegative numbers, the square root of n, times the square root of n, is equal to n  
🗑
Pythagorean Theorem   In a right triangle with legs of lengths a and b and hypotinuse of length c, a^2 + b^2=c^2

🗑
Area Model for multiplication (discrete form)   The number of elements in a rectangular array with rows r and c columns is rc  
🗑
Associative Property of Multiplication   For any real numbers a, b, and c, (ab)c = a(bc)  
🗑
Multiplication Identity Property of 1   For any real number a, a x 1 = 1 x a = a  
🗑
Property of reciprocals   suppose a doesn't equal 0, the reciprocal or a is 1/a. That is a x 1/a = 1/a x a = 1  
🗑
Reciprocal of a Fraction Property   suppose a and b do not equal 0, the reciprocal of a/b is b/a  
🗑
Multiplication Property of 0   For any real number a, a x 0 = 0 x a = 0  
🗑
Multiplying Fractions Property   For all real numbers a, b, c, and d, with b and d not 0, a/b x c/d = ac/bd  
🗑
Equal fractions Property   If b does not equal 0 and k does not equal 0, then ak/bk = a/b  
🗑
Rate Factor Model for Multiplication   When a rate r is multiplied by another quantity x, the product in rx. So the unit of rx is the product of the units for r and x  
🗑
Multiplication Property of -1   For any real number a, a x -1 = -1 x a = -a  
🗑
Rules for multiplying positive and negative numbers   If two numbers have the same sign, their product is positive, If two numbers have different signs, their product is negative  
🗑
Properties of Multiplication of Positive and Negative Numbers   !. The product of an odd number of a negative number is negative. 2. the product of an even number of negative numbers is positive  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Equality   For all real numbers a, b, and c, if a =b, then ca=cb  
🗑
Multiplication Property of Inequality ( part 1)   If x < y and a is positive, then ax < ay  
🗑
Multipliation Property of Inequality (part 2)   If x < y and a is negative, then ax > ay  
🗑
Putting-Together Model for Addition   If a quantity x is put together with a quantity y with the same units, and there is no overlap, then the result is the quantity x + y  
🗑
Slide Model for Addition   If a slide x is followed by a slide y, the result is the slide x + y  
🗑
Commutative Property of Addition   For any real numbers a and b, a + b + b + a  
🗑
Associative Property of Addition   For any real numbers a, b, and c, ( a + b) + c = a + ( b + c)  
🗑

🗑
The distrubutive property: removing parentheses   for all real numbers a, b, and c, c(a+b) =ca +cb and c(a - b) =ca - cb  
🗑
Distrubutive property:adding fractions   for all real numbers a, b, and c, with c not equal to 0, a/c +b/c = a+b/c  
🗑
