Every property in this set is named after a word you already know. To commute is to travel back and forth, so the commutative property lets the numbers trade places. An associate is a partner, so the associative property lets you change which numbers are partnered up (the parentheses). To distribute is to hand one out to everybody, so the distributive property hands the multiplier to every term inside the parentheses. The number that moves is shown in this color.
