Question | Answer |
Associative Property of Addition | The property that states that the way addends are grouped does not change the sum Example: (5 + 9) + 3 = 5 + (9 + 3) 14 + 3 = 5 + 12 17 = 17 |
Associative Property of Multiplication | The property that states that the way factors are grouped does not change the product Example: (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4) 6 x 4 = 2 x 12 24 = 24 |
Average | The number found by dividing the sum of a set of numbers by the number of addends. See also mean. |

Commutative Property of Addition | The property that states that when the order of two or more addends is changed, the sum is the same Example: 4 + 5 = 5 + 4 |
Commutative Property of Multiplication | The property that states that when the order of two or more factors is changed, the product is the same Example: 5 x 7 = 7 x 5 |

Digit | Any one of the ten symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 used to write numbers |
Distributive Property of Multiplication | The property that states that multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend by the number and then adding the products Example: 3 x (4 + 2) = (3 x 4) + (3 x 2) 3 x 6 = 12 + 6 18 = 18 |
