Read each question carefully and use the associative property of multiplication to solve the problems. Remember, the associative property states that you can group numbers in different ways when multiplying, and the product will still be the same.
1. The associative property of multiplication means that when you multiply three or more numbers, the way you them does not change the product.
2. For example, (2 × 3) × 4 is the same as 2 × ( × 4).
3. Solve the following equations and compare the results:
(5 × 2) × 3 =
5 × (2 × 3) =
4. Which equation shows the associative property of multiplication?
3 × 4 = 4 × 3
(2 + 3) × 5 = 2 × 5 + 3 × 5
(6 × 1) × 2 = 6 × (1 × 2)
7 × 0 = 0
5. Sarah has 3 boxes of crayons. Each box has 4 packs, and each pack has 5 crayons. How many crayons does Sarah have in total?
Show your work using the associative property:
Total crayons:
6. (8 × 2) × 5 is equal to 8 × (2 × 5).
True
False
7. Draw an array to represent (2 × 3) × 2. Then, draw another array to represent 2 × (3 × 2).
