      d. ▴ symmetric property of equality applied to addition and multiplication, e.g., 100 = 20 + 80 is the same as 20 + 80 = 100 and 21 = 7 x 3 is the same as 3 x 7 = 21;
      e. zero property of multiplication, e.g., 9 x 0 = 0 or 0 x 112 = 0;
      f. distributive property, e.g., 6(7 + 3) = (6 • 7) + (6 • 3). (Associative Property 1 , Associative Property 2 , Commutative Property 1 , Commutative Property 2 , Basic Distributive Property )
   AI-1 solves real-world problems with whole numbers from 0 through 10,000 using place value models; money; and the concepts of these properties to explain reasoning (2.4.A1a-b,d) ($):
      a. commutative properties of addition and multiplication, e.g., a student has a $5, a $10, and a $20 bill; a student totals the amount to see how much can be spent shopping for school supplies. The student says: Because you can add in any order, I can rearrange the money and count $20, $10, and $5 for $20 + $10 + $5. Another student has 4 $5 bills. The student is asked the amount. The student says: I don't know 4 x 5 but I know 5 x4 is $20, since multiplication can be done in any order.
      b. zero property of addition, e.g., a student has 6 marbles in one pocket and none in the other pocket. How many marbles altogether?
      c. property of one for multiplication, e.g., there are 24 students in our class, each student should have one math book; so I compute 24 x 1 = 24. Multiplying times 1 does not change the product because it is one group of 24.
      d. associative properties of addition and multiplication, e.g., a student has two dimes and a quarter. Using coins or money models, there are at least 2 ways to group the coins to find the total. One way is 10¢ (dime) + 10¢ (dime) = 20¢, then add the quarter, so 20¢ + 25¢ (quarter) = 45¢. Another way 10¢ (dime) + 25¢ (quarter) = 35¢, then add the other dime to 35¢ so 35¢ + 10¢ = 45¢ This models that (D + D) + Q = D + (D + Q).
      e. zero property of multiplication, e.g., in science, you are observing a snail. The snail does not move over a 4-hour period. To figure its total movement, you say 4 x 0 = 0. (Basic Word Problems , Arithmetic Word Problems , Basic Word Problems 2 , Making Change 2 )

      a. commutative property of addition and multiplication, e.g., 5 + 6 = 6 + 5, the student says: I know that 5 + 6 = 11 and adding in any order still gets the answer, so 6 + 5 is the same as 5 + 6. 4 x 6 = 6 x 4, the student says: I know that 4 x 6 = 24 and multiplying in any order still gets the answer, so 4 x 6 is the same as 6 x 4.
      b. zero property of multiplication without computing, e.g., 158 x 0 = 0; the student says: I know the answer (product) is zero because no matter how many factors you have, when you multiply with a 0, the product is zero.
      c. associative property of addition, e.g., 9 + 8 could be solved as 1 + (8 + 8) or (1 + 8) + 8, the student says: I don't know 9 + 8, but I know my doubles of 8 + 8, so I made the 9 into 1 + 8 and then added 1 more to make 17.
