What are the properties of multiplication? Provide an example using a number line that goes from 0 to 27. Use the numbers 6, 7, 8, and 9.

They are the commutative, associative, multiplicative identity and distributive properties.
Commutative property: For example 6 * 7 = 7 * 6;
Associative Property: For example (7 * 8) * 9 = 7 * (8 * 9);
Multiplicative Identity Property: For example 6 * 1 = 6 or, 1 * 6 = 6;
Distributive property: For example 6 * ( 7 + 8) = 6 * 7 + 6 * 8 or, ( 7 + 8) * 6 = 7 * 6 + 8 * 6.

Multiplication has key properties including the commutative, associative, multiplicative identity, and distributive properties. By using a number line from 0 to 27, we illustrated examples with the numbers 6, 7, 8, and 9 to demonstrate these properties. This approach helps learners see how multiplication operates systematically and consistently in mathematics.
