property of multiplication
 Drill
Use flash
cards of 
basic 
multiplication 
facts.
 Review
Have some pupils recite th
e multiplication table from
 1 to 10 through a game
entitled “Who am I?”
Example:My factors are 3 
and 4, what number am I?
 Motivation
Show the illustration to the class.
Ask
How many boxes of bread did Mimi arranged
? 
How many pieces of
bread are there in each box?
How many pieces of bread did Mimi arrange i
n all?
How many boxes of bread did Nene arranged
? How many pieces of
bread are there in each box?

 Performing the Activity

Lead the pupils to perform Acti
vity 1 in the LM. 
Have them work in pairs.
Guide pupils while doing the a
ctivity. Answer 
the activity afterwards. Clarif
y
misconceptions if necessary.
 Processing the Activity

What is the commutative
 property of 
multiplication?
How do we apply the co
mmutative property
of multiplication?
Reinforcing the Concept
Write the missing factor
in your notebook.
1) 7 x 4 = ___ x 7
2) 2 x ___ = 5 x 2
3) 6 x 3 = 3 x ___
4) 8 x ___ = 4 x 8
5) ___ x 9 = 9 x 7
Summarizing the Lesson
What is the commutative property of mult
iplication?
How do we apply the commutative prop
erty  of multiplication?
The commutative property of multipli
cation states that the order of the
given factors does
 not affect the product or changing the o
rder of the
factors does not change the product.
 Evaluation

answer on your paper.

1) 2 x 4 = ____ a. 7 x 6

2) 5 x 9 = ____ b. 6 x 8

3) 6 x 7 = ____ c. 8 x 9

4) 8 x 6 = ____ d. 4 x 2

5) 9 x 8 = ____ e. 9 x 5

f. 7 x 3
