MATH RELATIONSHIPS
Properties of Addition
http://www.aaamath.com/B/pro74ax2.htm
There are four mathematical properties which involve addition. The properties are the commutative, associative,
additive identity and distributive properties.
multiplied together, the product is the same regardless of the order of the multiplicands. For example
4 * 2 = 2 * 4
Associative Property: When three or more numbers are multiplied,
the product is the same regardless of the grouping of the factors. For example (2 * 3) * 4 = 2 * (3 * 4)
Multiplicative Identity Property: The product of any number and
one is that number. For example 5 * 1 = 5.
Distributive property: The sum of two numbers times a third number
is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number. For example 4 * (6 + 3) = 4*6 + 4*3
Multiplying by Repeated Addition
http://www.aaamath.com/B/pro39_x2.htm
The result of multiplication is the total number (product) that would be obtained by combining several (multiplier)
groups of similar size (multiplicand). The same result can be obtained by repeated addition. If we are combining 7 groups
with 4 objects in each group, we could arrive at the same answer by addition. For example, 4+4+4+4+4+4+4=28 is equivalent
to the multiplication equation 7*4=28.
Dividing by Repeated Subtractions
http://www.aaamath.com/B/pro41_x3.htm
The result of division is to separate a group of objects into several equal smaller groups. The starting group
is called the dividend. The number of groups that are separated out is called the divisor. The number of objects in each smaller
group is called the quotient.
The results of division can be obtained by repeated subtraction. If we are separating 24 objects into 6 equal
groups of four, we would take (or subtract) four objects at a time from the large group and place them in 6 equal groups.
In mathematical terms this would be: 24-4-4-4-4-4-4.
Subtraction and Addition Relationship
http://www.aaamath.com/B/pro34bx2.htm
There is an inverse relationship between addition and subtraction.
Example: Since 3 + 7 = 10 then the following are also true:
Similar relationships exist for subtraction.
Example: Since 10 - 3 = 7 then the following are also true:
An equation is balanced or the same on either side of the equals (=) sign. If exactly the same thing is done
to both sides of the equation, it will still be balanced or equal.
In the example above we start with the equation 3 + 7 = 10:
- Subtract the same number from both
sides
3 + 7 - 3 = 10 - 3
- On the left side the 3 and -3 produce
0 which leaves
7 = 10 - 3
- Turning the equation around to be
in more normal form
10 - 3 = 7
Multiplication and Division Relationship
http://www.aaamath.com/B/pro34cx2.htm
There is an inverse relationship between multiplication and division just like there was between addition
and subtraction.
The equation 3 * 7 = 21 has the inverse relationships:
21 ÷ 3 = 7
21 ÷ 7 = 3
Similar relationships exist for division. The equation 45 ÷ 5 = 9 has the inverse relationships:
5 * 9
= 45
9 * 5 = 45
Division and Multiplication Relationship

The There is an inverse relationship between multiplication and division.
The equation 45 ÷ 5 = 9 has the inverse relationships following are also true:
5 * 9 = 45
9 * 5 =
45
Similar relationships exist for multiplication. The equation 3 * 7 = 21 has the relationships:
21 ÷ 3
= 7
21 ÷ 7 = 3
