Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Confusing the Grade 3 commutative property (order) with the associative property (grouping) when describing 4 x 5 = 5 x 4 versus (2 x 3) x 4 = 2 x (3 x 4).
• Forgetting in Grade 3 that the distributive property requires adding the two smaller products together after splitting, so 6 x 7 as 6 x 5 + 6 x 2 must be added to 42, not left as 30 and 12.
• Mixing up Grade 3 identity and zero properties and writing 5 x 0 = 5 or 5 x 1 = 0 instead of 5 x 0 = 0 and 5 x 1 = 5.
