1.) Associative Property of Addition
This property states that: a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c. It essentially is stating that when multiplying or adding, the order in which numbers are grouped does not matter.
2.) Multiplication Property of Zero
This property states that a•0=0. It is essentially stating that a number multiplied by zero is always zero. For example, if you have 5 friends and want to give each friend 0 cookies, then they all get 0 cookies.
3.) Identity Property of Multiplication.
This property states that a•1=a. In other words, a number multiplied by 1 is always that number. Example: 6•1=6.
4.) Commutative Property of Multiplication.
This property states that a•b=b•a. It states that the order in which numbers are multiplied does not matter.
