Question 156679: I have to do a project about the associative property. I need example problems but I don't quite understand it well enough. I already have some simple problems but my teacher wants challenge problems too. Can you give me an example of a challenge problem for the associative property of addition and another for the associative property of multiplication so I can see how to make one. Thank you very much.

Hi, Hope I can help
.
I have to do a project about the associative property. I need example problems but I don't quite understand it well enough. I already have some simple problems but my teacher wants challenge problems too. Can you give me an example of a challenge problem for the associative property of addition and another for the associative property of multiplication so I can see how to make one. Thank you very much.

I think of associative property as " how you arrange the parentheses, associative = "arrange"(parentheses),(both associative, and arrange start with "a" )
.
Here are some examples of associative property
.
Example: = =
.
Example: = = = ( is the same thing as saying )
.
Example: = =
.
Now lets use multiplication in the associative property
.
Example: = =
.
Example: = =
.
Example: = =
.
Here is a challenging one for multiplication
.
=
.
=
.
=
.

.
If you are trying to use just numbers, here is another multiplication using associative property
.
=
.
=
.
=
.
=
.

.
You can always use smaller numbers, if that was too hard
.
A challenging problem using addition and associative problems is
.
=
.
=
.

.
=
.

.
You can also do more than three numbers
.
=
.
=
.
=
.

.
You can also do more than two numbers in side the parentheses
.
Lets use multiplication
.
=
.
=
.
