1. 1-3 Properties of Numbers
Goals:
Recognize the properties of equality and identity.
Recognize the Commutative and Associative Properties.

2. Vocabulary
Reflexive Property of Equality – any real number is equal to itself.
Symmetric Property of Equality – if a = b, then b = a
Transitive Property – if a = b and b = c, then a = c

3. Vocabulary
Additive Identity Property – the sum of a number and 0 is always the number.
Additive Inverse Property – the sum of a number and its opposite is always 0.

4. Vocabulary
Multiplicative Identity – multiplying by 1 does not change a number
Property of Zero – anything multiplied by 0 is 0
Multiplicative Inverse Property – any number times its reciprocal is 1
Property of Opposites – anything multiplied by -1 is the opposite.

5. Vocabulary
Commutative Property – the order that you add or multiply numbers does not change the answer.
Associative Property – the way you group three numbers when adding or multiplying does not change the answer.

6. Name the property used in each step.
Evaluate Using Properties
Name the property used in each step.
Substitution: 12 – 8 = 4
Substitution: 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Substitution: 3 – 2 = 1

7. Multiplicative Identity: 3(1) = 3
Evaluate Using Properties
Multiplicative Identity: 3(1) = 3
Multiplicative Inverse: (4) = 1
= 4 Substitution: = 4
Answer: 4
