Here are the correct mathematical properties for each statement on your worksheet.
1)
Identity Property of Multiplication
*(Because multiplying by 1 keeps the number's identity the same.)*
2)
Identity Property of Addition
*(Because adding 0 keeps the number's identity the same.)*
3)
Subtraction Property of Equality
*(Because you are subtracting the same amount from both sides to keep them equal.)*
4)
Associative Property of Multiplication
*(The word "associative" helps you remember "association" or grouping. The parentheses move, but the order of numbers stays the same.)*
5)
Associative Property of Addition
*(Again, the grouping changes with the parentheses, but the sum stays the same.)*
6)
Addition Property of Equality
*(Because you are adding the same amount to both sides to keep them equal.)*
7)
Zero Property of Multiplication
*(Any time you multiply by zero, the answer is always zero.)*
8)
Division Property of Equality
*(Because you are dividing both sides by the same number to keep them equal.)*
9)
Multiplication Property of Equality
*(Because you are multiplying both sides by the same number to keep them equal.)*
10)
Distributive Property
*(You are "distributing" the outside number to both numbers inside the parentheses.)*
11)
Inverse Property of Multiplication
*(The inverse is the reciprocal. When you multiply a number by its inverse, you get 1.)*
12)
Commutative Property of Addition
*(The word "commutative" sounds like "commute," which means moving around. The numbers switch places.)*
13)
Identity Property of Addition
*(Adding zero leaves the original number unchanged.)*
14)
Commutative Property of Multiplication
*(The numbers switch places, but the product is the same.)*
15)
Inverse Property of Addition
*(The inverse is the opposite sign. When you add a number and its opposite, you get 0.)*
