Knowledge

Students know:
  • When any factor, x, is multiplied by a factor of 1, the product is the value of x.
  • If one factor is zero, then there are zero groups or zero items in a group and the product is zero.
  • The commutative property of multiplication shows a x b = c and b x a = c.
  • The associative property of multiplication shows that when multiplying three or more numbers, the product is always the same regardless of the grouping.
  • The distributive property will help in finding products of more difficult multiplication facts.
