Commutative, Associative, and Distributive Properties

Commutative - we can swap numbers and still get the

same answer when we add or multiply.
Examples:
1. 6 + 3 or 3 + 6, both equal 9
2. 6 x 3 or 3 x 6, both equal 18

Associative - it doesn't matter how we group the numbers
when we add or multiply.
Examples:
1. (6 +3) +4 or 6 + (3 + 4)
2. (2 x 4) x 3 or 2 x (4 x 3)

Distributive lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each
part separately and then adding the parts together.
Example:


3 ( 2 + 4 ) is the same as 3 x 2 + 3 x 4

Because you share the 3 with the 2 and the 4


3 ( 2 + 4 ) = 3 x 2 + 3 x 4

Directions:
Group the expressions into different categories, either:
COMMUTATIVE, ASSOCIATIVE, or DISTRIBUTIVE. Any
expressions that do not fit a category put under NO!!!

Coordinate Planes

Definition - The plane determined by a horizontal number
line, called the x-axis, and a vertical number line, called the y-
axis, intersecting at a point called the origin. Each point in the
coordinate plane can be specified by an ordered pair of
numbers.

Example:




















Put stickers on the coordinate plane where these points are
located:
(4,5) (-2,3) (0,1) (3,-4) (-5, 2)

(-1,3) (0,4) (2,4) (1,-3) (0,0)

Order of Operations

Write the word that is represented by each symbol:

( ) ____________________________

a
3
_____________________________

x ______________________________

______________________________

+ ______________________________

- _______________________________


Solve the equations (show your work):

(3 + 5) 2 = ________








22 5 + (6 3) = ___________
3
2
(4 + 10) = __________








6 x 5 3 = ____________







Rational Numbers

Definition a number that can be expressed as a fraction (as
long as the denominator is not 0)

Examples:
Number Fraction Rational Number?
5 5/1 YES
.333333 1/3 YES
-.1 -1/10 YES
2 ???? NO
0 0/3 or 0/10 etc. YES
??? 4/0 NO

Directions: Order the rational numbers from least to greatest!

1. What is the THIRD largest number in the list?

_______________


2. What is the SMALLEST number in the list?

_______________


3. What is the LARGEST number in the list?

_______________

Simplify Expressions

Only 1 step: combine like terms
Definition: terms whose variables and exponents are the
same.

Example:

4x
2
+3x + 2x
2
+ 4x + 2 +10


4x
2
+ 2x
2
= 6x
2

3x + 4x = 7x
2 +10 = 12

Answer: 6x
2
+ 7x + 12

Directions: sort the numbers into like terms.

1. What do you notice about each group of terms?
