The Zero Property of Addition/Multiplication
Adding 0 to a number leaves it unchanged. We call 0 the additive identity ex:88+0=88->a+0=a Multiplying any number by 0 gives 0 ex: 88x0=0->0x1003=0
Associative Property
Addition: a(b+c)= (a+b)+c Multiplication: a(bc)= (ab)c
Commutative Property
Addition: a+b= b+a Multiplication: ab=ba
Identity
Additive : a + 0= a Multiplicative: a x1=a
Inverse Property Additive/ Multiplicative
Additive-> a+(-a)=0 Multiplicative->ax(1/a)=1
Inverse
Additive: a+ (-a)= 0 Multiplicative: a x (1/a)=1

Involve different combinations that can be made from two sets. ex: shirts and pants Multiplication->Oscar 17apples/Tom 5 times as many 5x17=__ apples as Oscar, how many does Tim have? Division-> Tom has 85 apples, 5 times as many as Oscar. 85 divided by 5=__
First find the greatest common denominator. Start with the biggest common denominator listed. Thats 10. Not all denominators fit into 10. So go up by 10's until you find a number that fits. 40. 5x8=40, 3x8= 24 giving you 24/40. Do the same to the rest. 20/40, 24/40, 30/40, 36/40 aka 2/4, 3/5, 6/8, 9/10.
