Some text here about the topic of discussion

​Questions

1. What do you think will be developed among the pupils of Mr. Roland?

2. What do you think shall we get from reading many books?

3. ​Aside from books, what other reading materials can we use to develop our love for reading?

​Presentation

​How many books will the children read every month?

​

25 x 2 =

​

​Presentation

​What are the factors? Do you think, that if we interchange the factors, the product will still be the same?

​

25 x 2 = 50​

​

​

FACTORS

PRODUCT​

​Presentation

​So, ​

25 x 2 = 2 x 25

= ​

​

​

​Presentation

​So, ​

25 x 2 = 2 x 25

50 = 50

What have you noticed? ​

​

​

​Presentation

​25 x 2 = 2 x 25

50 = 50​

​​

This is called Commutative Property of Multiplication. This means that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.

​Activity 1

Write the equation for each array when it is flipped 90 degrees. See the example below for guidance. Example: What equation does the array represent when it is rotated 90 degrees? 5 x 2 = 10,

​

​

​

​

​

So, x =

​Presentation 2

Observe and compare the two equations.

​Presentation 2

​As we can see, the product in both the cases is the same.

​Presentation 2

This property, where the order in which the three numbers are multiplied does not affect the result, is called the Associative Property of Multiplication.​

​Presentation 3

A

1 x 4 = 4

10 x 1 = 10

1 x 45 = 45

​​

​

​

What is the result if we multiply any number by 1?

What is the result if we multiply any number by 0?​

B

0 x 4 = 0

10 x 0 = 0

0 x 45 = 0

​​

​

​

​Presentation 3

A

1 x 4 = 4

10 x 1 = 10

1 x 45 = 45

​​

​

​

  Identity Property of Multiplication says that number does not change when that number is multiplied by 1.

​

B

0 x 4 = 0

10 x 0 = 0

0 x 45 = 0

​​

​

​

    Zero Property of Multiplication is when we multiply any number by zero, the resulting product is always a zero.

​

​Generalization

What are the properties of multiplication? Define each.​

​Remember

Commutative Property - Changing the order of the factors does not change the product

​

Associative Property - changing the grouping of the factors does not change the product

​

Identity Property - any number multiplied by 1 equals the number

​

Zero Property - any number multiplied by zero equals zero​

​Evaluation

​What property of multiplication is indicated?

1. 6 x 4 = 4 x 6

2. (3 x 9) x 6 = 3 x (9 x 6)

3. 4 x 0

4. 11 x 1

5. 92 x 3 = 3 x 92​
