Term
Definition
Commutative Property of addition   States that you can add in any order and the sum will remain the same. 7 + 3 = 10; 3 + 7 = 10  
🗑
Commutative Property of multiplication   States that you can multiply in any order and the product will remain the same. 7 x 3 = 21; 3 x 7 = 21  
🗑
Associative Property of addition   Changing the grouping of addends does not change the sum. Example (a+b)+c = a+(b+c); Numeric (7+3)+2 = 7+(3+2); Algebraic (n + 3) + 6 = n + (3 +  
🗑
Associative Property of multiplication   Changing the grouping of factors does not change the product. Example (a x b) x c = a x (b x c); Numeric Expression (7 x 3) x 2 = 7 x (3 x 2); Algebraic Expression (n x 3) x 6 = n x  
🗑
Additive Identity   Adding zero to a number leaves it unchanged: a + 0 = 0 + a = a  
🗑
Multiplicative Identity   Multiplying a number by 1 leaves it unchanged: a × 1 = 1 × a = a  
🗑
Multiplicative property of zero   States that the product of any number and zero is zero. a x 0 = 0  
🗑
Distributive Property   States that multiplying a number by a group of numbers added together is the same as doing each multiplication separately. Example: 3 × (2 + 4) = 3×2 + 3×4  
🗑
Inverse Property for addition   The operation that reverses the effect of another operation. Addition and subtraction are inverse operations. 7 + 3 = 10 10 - 3 = 7  
🗑
Inverse Property for multiplication   The operation that reverses the effect of another operation. Multiplication and division are inverse operations. 6x2=12 12 / 6 = 2  
🗑


   

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.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
