| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1 ) The product of any number and one is that number. For example a x 1 = a. | Identity Property of Multiplication |
| 2 ) The sum of any number and zero is the original number. For example a + 0 = a. | Identity Property of Addition |
| 3 ) The additive inverse of a number, a is -a so that a + -a = 0. | Additive Inverse |
| 4 ) The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number. For example a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c | Distributive Property |
| 5 ) The multiplicative inverse of a number, a is 1/a so that a | Multiplicative Property of Inverse or Reciprocal |
| 7 ) When two numbers are multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example a x b = b x a | Commutative Property |
| 8 ) The additive inverse of a number, a is -a so that a + -a = 0. | Additive Inverse or Opposites |
| 9 ) Multiplying any number by 0 yields 0. For example a x 0 = 0. | Multiplication by Zero or Zero Property of Multiplication |
| 10 ) When three or more numbers are added, the sum is the same regardless of the grouping of the addends. For example (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) | Associative Property of Addition |
| 11 ) The sum of any number and zero is the original number. For example a + 0 = a. | Identity Property of Addition |
| 12 ) Multiplying any number by 0 yields 0. For example a x 0 = 0. | Multiplication by Zero or Zero Property of Multiplication |
| 13 ) When three or more numbers are added, the sum is the same regardless of the grouping of the addends. For example (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) | Associative Property of Addition |
| 14 ) When three or more numbers are multiplied, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example (a x b) x c = a x (b x c) | Associative Property of Multiplication |
| 15 ) The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number. For example a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c | Distributive Property |
