Identity Propertie

I learned a easier way to multiply in math today. Identity property is when you multiply any number times 1, the number stays the same. For example A times 1=A OR 5 times 1=5. Compatible #'s things that work 2gether. Another example: if you multiply 15 times 5 then you multiply 5 times 10 and 5 times 5. Then add the products of both problems then you get the answer.

Properties

Continuing from the other blog. The rule for Distributive for addition is when its ether 2 positives or 2 negatives you add. The rule for subtraction is whenever the signs are opposite you subtract. Always take sign from the larger number. Additive Inverse number and its opposite when combined will equal 0.

Properties

I liked math today because I learned 5 properties. These properties are Distributive, Commutative, Associative, Identity and Closure property. Distributive is when a number and a letter are the same for the problem. Commutative's order doesn't matter. I like the properties because they are interesting and fun to learn.
