Using the Associative, Commutative and Distributive Properties for Multiplication WORKSHEET
Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
Using the Associative, Commutative and Distributive Properties for Multiplication 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 blank" questions covering the types seen in sections A and B. Section D then provides some other problems to solve using the properties practiced.
