Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show your work when necessary.

1. Which equation shows the Commutative Property of Addition?

a

5 + 0 = 5

b

3 + 4 = 4 + 3

c

(2 + 3) + 1 = 2 + (3 + 1)

d

5 × 1 = 5

2. Complete the equation using the Associative Property of Addition:

(6 + 2) + 7 = 6 + (  + 7)

3. Complete the equation using the Associative Property of Multiplication:

(4 × 3) × 5 = 4 × (  × 5)

4. True or False: 8 + 0 = 8 shows the Identity Property of Addition.

T

True

F

False

5. Use the Distributive Property to solve: 4 × (5 + 2). Show your steps.

Match each equation with the property it demonstrates.

a. 9 × 1 = 9
