Multiplication Properties
Grade 3 · Math · Multiplication · Ontario, 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.
