Build understanding of how number properties help find related multiplication facts. Students explore the commutative property, where changing the order of numbers doesn't change the answer, and the associative property, where regrouping the factors doesn't change the answer, then use these properties to solve and compare multiplication facts.
What's included:
Teaching slides introducing the commutative and associative properties
13 practice slides using the associative property to regroup factors and solve a multiplication fact, and comparing multiplication facts using number properties
