Use properties to evaluate several multiplications and divisions. The 16th instructional activity in a series of 25 demonstrates to scholars how they can utilize properties of operations to evaluate complex numerical expressions involving multiplication and division. Pupils determine that the associative and commutative properties enable the grouping of factors that can be easily multiplied. The class members realize reciprocals take out all divisions.
