Applying the IDENTITY, COMMUTATIVE, and

ASSOCIATIVE properties of multiplication.

Georgia Performance Standard: I can apply the identity,

commutative, and associative properties of multiplication and

verify the results.

IDENTITY Property of Multiplication

• When you multiply a number by 1, the product is that number.

• EXAMPLES: 1 X 6 = 6

1 X 8 = 8

1 X 69 = 69

1 X 547 = 547

COMMUTATIVE Property of Multiplication

• You can multiply two numbers in any order. The product stays the same.

• EXAMPLE: 6 X 7 = 42

7 X 6 = 42

7 X 6 = 6 X 7

Commutative Property of Multiplication

3 X 87 = 261

87 X 3 = 261

If 3 X 87 = 261, then 87 X 3 = 261

3 X 87 = 87 X 3

ASSOCIATIVE Property of Multiplication

When you multiply three or more numbers, it doesn’t matter which tow numbers you group or multiply first. The product will stay the same.

EXAMPLE: 2 X 4 X 3 = 2 X 4 X 3 (2 X 4) X 3 2 X (4 X 3) 8 X 3 2 X 12 24 24

ASSOCIATIVE Property

(6 X 7) X 3 = 6 X (7 X 3)

42 X 3 = 6 X 21

126 = 126
