Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Remember the commutative property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.
1. The commutative property of multiplication states that the order of the does not change the .
2. If 5 x 8 = 40, then x = 40.
3. The commutative property applies to multiplication, but not to or .
1. Which expression demonstrates the commutative property of multiplication?
(2 + 3) x 4 = 2 x 4 + 3 x 4
7 x (2 x 5) = (7 x 2) x 5
6 x 9 = 9 x 6
10 ÷ 2 = 5
2. If you know that 12 x 4 = 48, what other multiplication fact do you automatically know because of the commutative property?
48 ÷ 4 = 12
4 x 12 = 48
12 + 4 = 16
12 x 5 = 60
1. The commutative property states that 5 - 3 is the same as 3 - 5.
True
False
2. The expression 8 x 7 can be rewritten as 7 x 8 due to the commutative property.
True
False
1. Explain in your own words what the commutative property of multiplication means.
Draw an array to represent 3 x 5. Then, draw another array to represent 5 x 3. How do these arrays show the commutative property?
