Multiplication Properties
Grade 3 · Math · Multiplication · Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Lesson Summary
Special rules called properties make multiplication easier. The order you multiply does not change the answer.
Explanation
The commutative property says you can swap the numbers: 3 × 5 is the same as 5 × 3. The associative property says when you multiply three numbers, you can group them any way you like. The identity property says any number times 1 stays the same. The zero property says any number times 0 is always 0. These rules help you solve problems faster.
