MODULE 4
OVERVIEW
The giraffe (Giraffe camelopardalis) is an African even- toed ungulate mammal and the
tallest living terrestrial animal in the world. It stands 5-6 m tall and has an average weight of 830
kg for females and kg for females and about twice as much for males.

Abstraction
Let’s Discuss
In did you know? The average weight of the male giraffe is around twice that of
the female. The word “twice” means double or multiply by 2. Since the average weight of a
female giraffe is 830 kg, then that of the male is around 830 x 2 which is 1 660 kg.
Multiplication as Repeated Addition
In the multiplication sentence 830 x 2 = 1 660, 830 and 2 are called factors while
1 660 is called product.
Find the sum of the following.
1. 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 =
2. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 =
3. 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 =
In the exercises above, observe that the same numbers are being added repeatedly.
In this case, we can find the answer using another operation which is
multiplication.
Multiplication is called repeated addition since adding the same number repeatedly may be
expressed as multiplication instead. Let’s take a look at the following examples.
Addition Multiplication Answer
1. 4+4+4+4+4+4+4= 7 groups of 4 or 7 x 4 28
2. 3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3= 8 groups of 3 or 8 x 3 24
3. 8+8+8+8+8+8= 5 groups of 8 or 5 x 8 40

1. Commutative Preperty of Multiplication (CPM)
When the order of the factors is changed, the product is still the same.
Example: 3x5=5x3
15 = 15
2. Associative Property of Multiplication (APM)
The grouping of the factors does not affect the product.
Example: (2 x 8 ) x 5 = 2 x ( 8 x 5)
16 x 5 = 2 x 40
80 = 80
3. Identity Property of Multiplication (IPM)
When a number is multiplied by 1, the product is the number itself.
Example: 10 x 1 = 10, 1x6=6
4. Zero property of Multiplication ( ZPM)
Any number multiplied by zero is zero.
Example: 0 x 9 = 0 15 x 0 = 0
