Associative Property of Multiplication
Link
About these worksheets
These worksheets help students understand the associative property of multiplication — that changing the grouping of factors does not change the product. Activities include finding missing digits, matching equivalent grouped expressions, and identifying the property in multiple-choice formats. Aligned with third grade standards.
3oa5

- Find the missing number that makes a multiplication equation true.
- Rewrite a multiplication problem by regrouping the factors without changing the product.
- Explain why changing the grouping in multiplication does not change the answer.
3oa5

- Practice using parentheses to see how numbers can be grouped in a multiplication equation.
- Find the missing digit that makes two grouped multiplication expressions equal.
3oa5

- Recognize that changing how factors are grouped in a multiplication problem does not change the product.
- Rewrite multiplication expressions using parentheses to show a different grouping of the same factors.
- Decide which rewritten multiplication sentence matches the original problem.
3oa5

- Practice rewriting multiplication or addition problems by changing the grouping with parentheses.
- Recognize when two expressions are equivalent even if the numbers are grouped differently.
- Use the associative property to match an expression to another expression with the same value.
- Check that regrouping does not change the product or sum.
3oa5

- Recognize when a multiplication equation is using the associative property by changing how the factors are grouped.
Commutative Property of Multiplication
Link
About these worksheets
Students practice the commutative property of multiplication, learning that the order of factors does not affect the product. Worksheets include identifying the property in equations and applying it to multiply rational numbers including fractions, decimals, and integers. Spanning third through seventh grade.
3oa5

- Recognize that switching the order of factors does not change the product.
- Decide whether a multiplication statement shows the commutative property or not.
Distributive Property of Multiplication
Link
About these worksheets
These worksheets cover the distributive property of multiplication in depth. Students practice breaking apart multiplication problems, expanding expressions with parentheses, identifying the property in multiple-choice problems, and applying it to both multiplication and division with arrays. Activities also include examining and solving distributive property equations. Aligned with third grade standards and beyond.
3oa5

- Practice rewriting a multiplication problem by breaking one factor into a sum inside parentheses.
- Use the distributive property to expand expressions like a(b + c) into a×b + a×c.
- Solve multiplication problems by distributing and then adding the partial products.
- Match an expression with parentheses to an equivalent expanded expression.
3oa5

- Recognize when a multiplication expression is being broken apart using the distributive property.
- Check whether two multiplication expressions are equivalent by thinking about how the factors are grouped.
Identity Property of Multiplication
Link
About these worksheets
Students learn the identity property of multiplication — that multiplying any number by one keeps the number the same. These multiple-choice worksheets help students recognize and apply this fundamental property. Aligned with third grade standards.
3oa5

- Recognize that multiplying any number by 1 keeps the number the same.
- Decide which multiplication statement shows the identity property of multiplication.
All Properties of Multiplication

About these worksheets
These worksheets combine all four properties of multiplication — commutative, associative, distributive, and identity — in a single practice set. Students identify which property is being used in each equation, building the ability to recognize and distinguish between the properties. Aligned with third grade standards.
3oa5

- Recognize which multiplication property is being used in an equation (commutative, associative, distributive, or identity).
