2. Adding ZERO does not change the answer. Identity Property of Addition
Which Property?
= 17
When zero is added to any number, the zero DOES NOT change the identity of the number.
Adding ZERO does not change the answer.
Identity Property of Addition

3. 29 - 0 = 29 Identity Property of Subtraction Which Property?
When zero is subtracted from any number, the zero DOES NOT change the identity of the number.
Subtracting ZERO does not change the answer.
Identity Property of Subtraction

4. 8 + (2 + 7) = (8 + 2) + 7 Associative Property of Addition
Which Property?
8 + (2 + 7) = (8 + 2) + 7
The way the #’s are grouped together may be changed without changing the answer.
The ( ) move around, but the #’s do not.
Associative Property of Addition

5. (2 • 3) • 4 = 2 • (3 • 4) Associative Property of Multiplication
Which Property?
(2 • 3) • 4 = 2 • (3 • 4)
The way the #’s are grouped together may be changed without changing the answer.
The ( ) move around, but the #’s do not.
Associative Property of Multiplication

6. 6 + 5 + 4 = 6 + 4 + 5 Commutative Property of Addition
Which Property? =
#’s can be move around without changing the answer.
The #’s move around!
Commutative Property of Addition

7. 4 • 2 = 2 • 4 Commutative Property of Multiplication
Which Property?
4 • 2 = 2 • 4
#’s can be moved around without changing the answer.
The #’s move around.
Commutative Property of Multiplication

8. The product of any # and 0 is always Zero Property of Multiplication
Which Property?
4 (0) = 0
The product of any # and 0 is always
that ZERO.
Multiplying by 0.
Zero Property of Multiplication

9. 5 • 1 = 5 Identity Property of Multiplication Which Property?
The product of any # and 1 is always
that number.
Multiplying by 1.
Identity Property of Multiplication

10. IDENTIFY THE PROPERTY SHOWN IN EACH EXAMPLE
5 + 0 = 5
9 + 8 = 8 + 9
8 (6 x 2) = 8(6) + 8(2)
4 (1) = 4
7 (56) = 7(50) + 7(6)
16.57 x 0 = 0
( ) + 3 = 14 + (17 + 3) =

11. WARM UP VERBAL PHRASES PROPERTIES

Twice a number increased by 13
The sum of a number and 45
PROPERTIES
Name the property shown by each statement
= (a) Associative Prop. of +
51 • 1 = (b) Identity Prop. of +
8 + (2 + y) = (8 + 2) + y (c) Commutative Prop. of +
4 • (6 • 3) = (4 • 6) • (d) Zero Property
0 (b) = (e) Identity Prop. of x
