Letter Associative Property of

Multiplication The property that
states that when the grouping of
factors is changed, the product
remains the same.
Dear Family,
Distributive Property The
During the next few weeks, our math class will be property that states that multiplying
learning how to multiply with the factors 2, 3, 4, a sum by a number is the same

products.
You can expect to see homework that provides
multiple A number that is the
practice with multiplication facts and product of two counting numbers

3, 6, 9, 12 4 groups of 3 is 12.
4 groups of 3 is 12. 4 × 3 = 12 4 × 3 = 12

So, he will need 12 raisins for 4 cookies.

Activity
Have your child draw more groups of 3 for 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 cookies.
Then have your child answer questions such as “How many raisins
