Properties of Multiplication
Notes
Commutative Property-factors can be
multiplied in any order and the product remains
the same.
3x4=4x3
6x7=7x6
_________________
Associative Property- the grouping of
factors can be changed without changing
the product. Notice the order or the numbers
stays the same…only the parenthesis move.
(4x5)x2=4x(5x2)
_______________________
Identity Property- the product of any
number times 1 is that number.
4x1=4
1x5=5 _____________________
Zero Property- the product of any number and
zero is zero
6x0=0
0x3=0

Let’s Practice Properties of
Multiplication!
Associative Property
Zero Property
Identity Property
Commutative Property
Tell which property of multiplication is being shown
1. 5x(9x3)-(5x9)x3 _________________________
2. 73x0 =0 ________________________________
3. 432x1=431 ______________________________
4. 56x8=8x56 ______________________________
5. 0x45=45 _________________________________
6. 1x836=836 _______________________________
7. 56x39=39x56 _____________________________
Now you are going to show examples of each property
