Properties of
Multiplication

Associative Property
of Multiplication
This property states that when
performing a multiplication
problem with more than two
numbers, it does not matter which
numbers you multiply first. e.g. (a x
b) x c = a x (b x c)

Properties of
Multiplication
Changing the order of
Commutative Property
of Multiplication factors does not
This property states that you change the product.
can multiply numbers in any For example,
order and the answer will
always be the same. 4×3=3×4
e.g. 8 x 3 = 3 x 8
12=12

Properties of
Multiplication

Distributive Property
This property states that 4 x 6 = (2+2) x (3+3)
multiplying the sum of two or
24 = 4 x 6
more numbers is the same as
multiplying the addends 24 = 24
separately.
e.g. 2 x 8 = 2 x (2 + 6)

Array
An arrangement
of objects,
pictures, or
numbers in rows
and columns

Compensation
A method of
adding or taking
away numbers to
make the
calculation simple.

Estimate
An approximate
value is close
enough to the
correct value.

Partial Product
A product of two numbers e.g.
obtained when we break
the numbers into parts,
multiply the parts
35 x 7 =
separately and then add
them together.
(7 x 30) + (7 x 5)
