Multiplication Properties Worksheets
Explore our multiplication properties worksheets and acquaint kids with commutative, associative, distributive, identity, and multiplicative inverse properties that help simplify an expression involving multiplication. The PDF exercises with answer keys reflect how these properties simplify calculations and help verify results! Our free worksheets are your go-to for a quick recall.
Analyze each multiplication expression and identify the property it illustrates. Look for an expression that matches the property specified in these worksheets on properties of multiplication.
Commutative Property of Multiplication
Complete the commutative property of multiplication a*b = b*a, use it to find the product, and write the property from a word problem to show that changing the order does not change the product.
Associative Property of Multiplication
When multiplying three numbers a, b, and c, the product is the same regardless of how the numbers are grouped. Fill in the missing numbers, write the product, and verify that (a×b)×c = a×(b×c).
Distributive Property of Multiplication
Children verify that a*(b+c) = a*b + a*c in the first part and use the distributive property of multiplication to find products for given expressions in these printable worksheets.
Watch kids pick sentences demonstrating when a number a is multiplied by 1 it retains its original value as in a*1 = a, write the missing number to complete the property, and find the product.
Write the multiplicative inverse, find the product of the number and its inverse to obtain the product 1, and identify expressions that illustrate the multiplicative inverse property in these worksheets.
