Q

Fact family

A

A group of three numbers related by addition and subtraction for by multiplication and division. Four mathematical fact statements can be formed using the numbers in a fact family.

The numbers 3, 4, and 7 are a fact family they make these four facts:
3+4=7, 4+3 = 7, 7-3 = 4, 7-4 = 3

Q

The property of zero for multiplication

A

States that when he number is multiplied by zero the product is zero

25
Q

Perfect square

A

When we multiply a counting number by itself the product is a perfect square
