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.

Thank You for reading my lesson!
