The 10 Properties of Math

Commutative Propery of Addition

The order of addition doesn't matter, the answer will always be the same

Commutative Property of Multiplacation

The order of multiplication doesn't matter, it will always be the same answer

Distributive Property

They are distributing the number closest to the parentheses but not in them to the other numbers in the set of parentheses

Additive inverse property

A number plus the same number but negative equals zero

Identity Property of Addition

A number plus zero equals the same number ( the number's IDENTITY doesn't change)

Identity property of Multiplacation

A number times one equals the same number ( the number's IDENTITY doesn't change)

Multiplicative inverse property

A number times one over the same number equals one ( or it's reciprocal)

Zero property

Any number times zero equals zero

Associative Property of Addition

How we use the numbers with parentheses does not effect the answer or what it is equal to

Associative Property of Multiplacation
