Properties of Multiplication

Master multiplication properties like commutative and associative with this 3rd-grade math worksheet!

Use counters to model the problems. Write each product and answer the questions below. 3 x 2 = 6 and 2 x 3 = 6 4 x 6 = 24 and 6 x 4 = 24 7 x 3 = 21 and 3 x 7 = 21 5 x 8 = 40 and 8 x 5 = 40 What property of multiplication was used in the first 4 questions? The commutative property was being used in the first four problems. (2 x 3) x 3 2 x (3 x 3) 6 x 3 = 18 2 x 9 = 18 (4 x 2) x 3 4 x (2 x 3) 8 x 3 = 24 4 x 6 = 24 (2 x 2) x 4 2 x (2 x 4) 4 x 4 = 16 2 x 8 = 16
