Wow we have some incredibly brilliant kids! I cannot believe how quickly they are picking up all of the multiplication properties. Keeping each of them straight is a challenge. I know that it makes my mind swirl. Tonight, we are working on the associative property. A good way to remember associative is the "hugs" property. Using the associative property we can multiply 3 or more factors in any order. The parentheses, aka the hugs can move around any set of factors and the product will not change. For example (3 x 5) x 2 is the same as 3 x (5 x 2). For homework tonight students will rewrite each problem using the associative property and then solve.
