Hello!
First, I will give you the meanings of the properties for addition.
PROPERTIES FOR ADDITION
1. Commutative Property of Addition(CPA)-It states that changing the order of the addends will not affect the sum.
a+b=b+a

2. Associative Property of Addition(APA)-It states that changing the groupings of the addends will not affect the sum.
a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c

3. Identity Property of Addition(IPA)-It states that when you add 0 to any real number, the sum is the number itself.
a+0=a



Now, I will give you the meaning of the properties for multiplication.
PROPERTIES FOR MULTIPLICATION
1. Commutative Property of Multiplication(CPM)-It states that changing the order of the factors will not affect the product.
a*b=b*a
2. Associative Property of Multiplication(APM)-It states that changing the groupings of the factor will not affect the product.
a*(b*c)=(a*b)*c
3. Identity Property of Multiplication(IPM)-it states that when you multiply any number by 1 the result is the number.
a*1=a
4. Zero Property of Multiplication(ZPM)- It states that when you multiply any number by 0 the result is 0.
a*0=0




I think that is all.
*I did not put the distributive property because it is already explained in the previous lessons.
