How did your knowledge about the properties of
operations help you find the missing number in
an equation?
Find the value of each side of the equation
in the activity:
Example: (8 × 5) × 4 = 8 × (5 × 4)
40 × 4 = 8 × 20
160 = 160
 An equation is a mathematical sentence that
states the equality of expressions.
Look at these equations. Could you give the
missing number/s?

A. (10 × 2) + (10 × 5) = ___ × (___ + 5)

B. (40 + 5 ) + (___ + 15) = (___ + 15) + (40 + 30)

How will you make each equation correct?

Try to evaluate each equation.
In the first equation, you will use the Distributive
Property of Multiplication over Addition:
A. 10 × (2 + 5) = (10 × 2) + (10 × 5)
10 × 7 = 20 + 50
70 = 70

In the second equation, you will use the Commutative

Property and Associative Property of Addition
A. (40 + 5 ) + (30 + 15) = (5 + 15) + (40 + 30)
45 + 45 = 20 + 70
90 = 90
 Give the missing number/s in the equations
below.
1) 6 × ___ 5 × 6
2) (9 × ___) × 4 = ___ × (2 × 4)
3) (1 × 4) × 0 = ___ × (___ × 0)
4) 17 × ___ = 19 + 17
5) (13 + 6) + 7 = 13 (___ + ___)
6) 0 + 6 = ___ + 0
7) ___ + 9 = 3 + 14
8) 20 - ___ = 6 + 8
9) 9 + 6 + 5 = ___ × 5
10)8 + 7 + 2 = 20 – (2 + ___)
 Give the property used in each equation.
Then, write the missing numbers.
a. (6 + 12) + (5 + 7) = (5 + ___) + (___ + 12) :
___________________
b. (7 × 6) × 5 = ___ × (6 × ___) :
___________________
c. 20 + ___ = 40 + ___ : ___________________
d. 24 + (36 = 50) = (___ + ___) + 50 :
___________________
e. 7 × (10 = 5) = (___ × 10) + 7 × ___) :
