Associative, Commutative and Distributive Properties WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 3
Learning objective: Use the Associative, Commutative and Distributive Properties for Multiplication of 1 and 2-digit numbers

Associative, Commutative and Distributive Properties WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is designed to get learners thinking about regrouping, reordering and partitioning numbers in products to make the calculations easier to work out.

Section A encourages learners to use the associative and commutative properties to regroup or reorder numbers in a product to form 10 from a 5 and 2.

Section B then leads learners through the process of partitioning a 2-digit number into "ten" and "one" parts so that the distributive property can be used.

Section C has some "fill in the gap" questions covering the types seen in sections A and B.

Section D then provided some other problems to solve using the properties practised.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your child will explore three key mathematical properties: associative, commutative and distributive properties for multiplication. These properties help make multiplication calculations much simpler by showing different ways to group, reorder and break apart numbers. Understanding these concepts builds a strong foundation for mental maths strategies.
