It’s Associative!
One of the multiplication properties is associative, which means
you can group the factors in a multiplication equation and
still get the same product.
A × (B x C) = (A x B) x C
Find the missing number according to the associative property.
4 x (3 x 2) = (4 x 3) x
6 x (2 x 5) = (6 x 2) x
(20 x 5) x 11 = 20 x (11 x )
Find the product of these numbers.
7 x (2 x 1) = 2 x (7 x 1) =
10 x (3 x 4) = 10 x (3 x 4) =
(10 x 3) x 4 = x 4 =

Multiplication
One of the multiplication properties is distributive, which means
you can multiply a sum or difference by multiplying each number
separately and then adding or subtracting the products.
A × (B + C) = A x B + A x C
A × (B - C) = A x B - A x C
Find the product.
7 x (5 + 2) = 7 x (_____) =
(7 x 5) + (7 x 2) = (_____) + (_____) =
3 x (8 - 4) = 3 x (_____) =
(3 x 8) - (3 x 4) = (_____) - (_____) =
Rewrite the equations. See the example.
5 x (6 + 1) = 8 x (10 + 2) =
= =
= =
9 x (9 - 3) =
