Master All 4 Multiplication Rules!
🔹 Identity Property (× 1): Any number multiplied by 1 keeps its identity! Example: 8 × 1 = 8
🔹 Zero Property (× 0): Any number multiplied by 0 always equals ZERO! Example: 9 × 0 = 0
🔹 Commutative Property (Order): You can swap the order of factors and get the same answer! Example: 3 × 4 = 4 × 3
🔹 Associative Property (Grouping): You can regroup numbers with parentheses and the answer stays the same! Example: (2 × 3) × 4 = 2 × (3 × 4)
