Associative Property of Multiplication Worksheets
The “Associative Property of Multiplication” is just a fancy way of saying that when you’re multiplying 3 or more numbers together, you can pick any two to start.
For example: When multiplying 2 x 4 x 5, instead of multiplying 2 x 4 to get 8 and then needing to multiply 8 by 5, you could first multiply 4 x 5 to get 20. Then multiply 20 by 2. The answer will be 40 no matter what!
The associative property of multiplication allows you to pause and ask yourself, “How can I group these numbers together to make the problem easier?”
Being able to apply this multiplication property enhances your problem solving skills and makes you a more critical thinker!
