Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Remember that the commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.
1. The commutative property of multiplication says that if you change the of the factors, the product stays the same.
2. In the equation 3 × 5 = 15, the factors are 3 and 5. If we switch the order, we get 5 × 3 = .
3. The answer to a multiplication problem is called the .
1. Which equation shows the commutative property of multiplication?
(2 × 3) + 4 = 2 × (3 + 4)
5 × 1 = 5
4 × 6 = 6 × 4
7 + 0 = 7
2. If you know that 8 × 2 = 16, what else do you know because of the commutative property?
8 + 2 = 10
2 × 8 = 16
16 ÷ 2 = 8
8 × 0 = 0
1. The commutative property of multiplication works for addition too.
True
False
2. 7 × 9 has the same product as 9 × 7.
True
False
1. Draw an array to show 3 × 4 and another array to show 4 × 3. Explain how they are related.
Match the multiplication fact with its commutative property pair.
1. 6 × 5
a. 8 × 7
2. 7 × 8
