3rd Grade Math

2.  When two numbers are multiplied together,
the product will be the same regardless of the
order
 Ex. (4)(5)=(5)(4)

3.  When three or more numbers are multiplied
together, the product will be the same
regardless of the grouping
 Ex. (4x2) x 3 = 4 x (2x3)

4.  When a number is multiplied by 1, the
product will always be the number
 Ex 8 x 1 = 8
150 x 1 = 150

5.  The sum of two numbers times the third
number is equal to the sum of each addend
times the third number
 Ex. 4 x (6 + 3) = 4x6 + 4x3
