Numberock - The Properties of Multiplication Song Lyrics

Ready, set, go, one, two, three
Here are some bars about the Commutative Property
You can multiply the factors in any order
Like four times three equals three times four
That's right, the product either way is exactly the same
Commutative is this property's name
Now let's move on while we've got the Chi
With a rhyme about the Associative Property
You can group the factors in any order too
Like two times three times four
Equals three times four times two
They have the same product when you solve through
That's the magic the associative property can do
We use the properties of multiplication
When expressions need evaluation
Or when multiplying in equations
Because they can help us with our calculations
This one's kinda tricky, so get your brain ready
To study the Distributive Property
Split a factor, multiply the addends by the other factor
Then add the products up thereafter
Eight became three plus five
But times four stayed the same
Distributive is this property's name
Now let's introduce one that's easy-peasy
It's time to look at the identity property
The product of any number and one
Has that number as the solution
For example, three times one equals three
That's called the Identity Property
We use the properties of multiplication
When expressions need evaluation
Or when multiplying in equations
Because they can help us with our calculations
Oh wait, there's one more before we go
It's one you may know, the property of zero
The product of any number and zero
Will have a product of zero to show
For example, five times zero equals zero
'Cause the zero property tells us so
Now that you know the properties of multiplication
You can understand each of these equations
And if you ever forget them, don't give in to dismay
Just go to Numberock dot com and hit replay
We use the properties of multiplication
When expressions need evaluation
Or when multiplying in equations
Because they can help us with our calculations
