Elementary Test Prep: Math 4 Test (Grades 4)Associative Property

Associative Property can help you to multiply quickly and correctly.

Changing the grouping of the factors does not change the product.
(3 x 4) x 2 = 24	3 x (4 x 2) = 24
Think: "grouping."

When Multiplying:

** First multiply the parenthesis ( )

** Then multiply the last number to get your product.

Example 1

Example 2

(2 x 3) x 1 = 2 x (3 x 1)

6 x 1 = 2 x 3

6 = 6
