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

1. The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the does not change the product.

2. According to the commutative property, if 5 × 8 = 40, then 8 × 5 = .

3. The commutative property applies to both addition and .

1. Which of the following equations demonstrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication?

3 + 4 = 4 + 3

2 × (5 × 6) = (2 × 5) × 6

7 × 9 = 9 × 7

10 × 1 = 10

2. If a store sells 12 boxes of pens, and each box contains 8 pens, how many pens are there in total? Which equation represents the commutative property for this problem?

12 + 8 = 20

12 × 8 = 8 × 12

12 - 8 = 4

12 ÷ 8 = 1.5

1. The commutative property of multiplication means that 15 ÷ 3 is the same as 3 ÷ 15.

True

False

2. The expression (4 × 7) is equivalent to (7 × 4) due to the commutative property.

True

False

1. Use the commutative property to rewrite the expression 18 × 6 in a different order. Then, solve both expressions to prove they are equal.

2. Explain why the commutative property does NOT apply to division. Provide an example.

Match each expression on the left with its equivalent expression on the right using the Commutative Property.

1. 15 × 3

a. 2 × 25

2. 25 × 2

b. 3 × 15

3. 9 × 11

c. 11 × 9
