Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. (Students need not use formal terms for these properties.)
Examples:
If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.)
3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.)
