Properties of Multiplication

What makes multiplication work every time? This playsheet helps you explore the properties of multiplication, like the commutative, associative, and identity properties, through simple and clear examples.
 

You’ll solve problems like 3 × 5 = 5 × 3 or (2 × 4) × 3 = 2 × (4 × 3), discovering how numbers can be rearranged without changing the answer.
 

As you practice, you’ll build a strong understanding of number relationships and develop strategies to solve problems more efficiently.
