Study Notes

Vocabulary Terms

Array: An arrangement of objects into rows and columns used to visually represent multiplication concepts.
Commutative Property of Multiplication: This property indicates that changing the order of factors does not affect the product (e.g., 3 × 4 = 4 × 3).
Equal Groups: Groups that contain the same number of objects; essential for understanding multiplication as repeated addition (e.g., 5 groups of 6 leads to 5 × 6 = 30).
Factor: A number that can be multiplied with another to produce a product; factors are key components of multiplication problems (e.g., in 4 × 5, both 4 and 5 are factors).
Identity Property of Multiplication: States that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged (e.g., 7 × 1 = 7).
Multiply: The mathematical operation of combining equal groups, serving as the inverse of division (e.g., finding the total number of items in a set of groups).
Product: The result obtained from multiplying two or more factors together (e.g., in the equation 6 × 7, 42 is the product).
Zero Property of Multiplication: Establishes that any number multiplied by zero results in zero (e.g., 5 × 0 = 0), which is fundamental in arithmetic operations.
