Quizizz worksheet featuring five questions on the commutative property of multiplication, designed for classroom use.

Let's solve each question one by one and explain the reasoning behind the correct answers.

1. What is the commutative property of 5 × 3?

Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of the numbers does not change the product.
So, $ 5 \times 3 = 3 \times 5 $

Correct Answer: C) 3 × 5

✔ Explanation: The commutative property means $ a \times b = b \times a $. So, $ 5 \times 3 $ becomes $ 3 \times 5 $.

2. What is the answer to a multiplication sentence called?

In multiplication:
- The numbers being multiplied are called factors
- The result is called the product

For example: $ 4 \times 5 = 20 $ → 20 is the product

Correct Answer: C) Product

✔ Explanation: "Quotient" is for division, "Sum" is for addition, "Difference" is for subtraction.

3. Choose the correct distributive property of multiplication for 7 × 4

The distributive property means breaking one factor into parts and multiplying each part separately.

We can break 7 as $ 5 + 2 $, so:

$ 7 \times 4 = (5 + 2) \times 4 = (5 \times 4) + (2 \times 4) $

Check the options:
- A) 28 → That’s the answer, not the distributive form
- B) $ (5 \times 4) + (2 \times 4) $ → ✔ This matches!
- C) $ 4 \times 7 $ → Commutative, not distributive
- D) $ (5 \times 2) + (2 \times 2) $ → Incorrect

Correct Answer: B) $ (5 \times 4) + (2 \times 4) $

✔ Explanation: Distributive property: $ (a + b) \times c = a \times c + b \times c $

4. What is the correct "count by" for 4 × 6?

"Count by" means counting in multiples of the first number.

$ 4 \times 6 $ means adding 4 six times:
4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24

So the sequence is: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24

Now check options:
- A) 4, 8, 12 → Only 3 terms, too short
- B) 4, 8, 16, 20, 24 → Missing 12 → incorrect
- C) 24 → Just the final product
- D) 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 → ✔ All six steps

Correct Answer: D) 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24

✔ Explanation: Counting by 4s six times gives the full sequence.

5. What multiplication equation does the following array represent? Let the first factor represent the number of rows.

Array:
```
**
**
**
```

Each row has 6 stars, and there are 3 rows.

So:
- Number of rows = 3
- Stars per row = 6
→ Total = $ 3 \times 6 = 18 $

Now look at options:
- A) $ 6 + 3 = 18 $ → Wrong operation
- B) $ 6 \times 3 = 18 $ → Correct value, but first factor is 6, which represents columns (not rows)
- C) 18 → Just the total, not an equation
- D) $ 3 \times 6 = 18 $ → ✔ First factor is 3 (number of rows), second is 6 (stars per row)

Correct Answer: D) $ 3 \times 6 = 18 $

✔ Explanation: The problem says "let the first factor represent the number of rows", so we write it as $ 3 \times 6 $.

✔ Final Answers:

1. C) 3 × 5
2. C) Product
3. B) (5 × 4) + (2 × 4)
4. D) 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
5. D) 3 × 6 = 18
