Start teaching your child about multiplication properties, focusing on the identity property. This rule is fun to remember because any number multiplied by one always stays the same. This worksheet first asks kids to put a check next to the equations that express and show the identity property. In Part II, kids will use the identity property to fill in the blanks.

The identity property for multiplication says that any number multiplied by 1 stays the same, just like its "identity" doesn't change. Imagine if you have five candies and multiply them by 1. You still have five! It's like magic because the number keeps being itself without getting bigger or smaller.
