This page features free 6th grade worksheets focused on properties of operations. Students practice applying commutative, associative, and distributive properties to create equivalent equations. Each worksheet contains 20 problems designed to strengthen algebraic thinking skills.
These worksheets cover the distributive property of multiplication in depth. Students practice breaking apart multiplication problems, expanding expressions with parentheses, identifying the property in multiple-choice problems, and applying it to both multiplication and division with arrays. Activities also include examining and solving distributive property equations. Aligned with third grade standards and beyond.
These worksheets combine all four properties of multiplication — commutative, associative, distributive, and identity — in a single practice set. Students identify which property is being used in each equation, building the ability to recognize and distinguish between the properties. Aligned with third grade standards.
Students apply properties of operations to generate equivalent equations. These worksheets require students to rewrite expressions using the commutative, associative, and distributive properties, strengthening their understanding of algebraic equivalence. Aligned with sixth grade standards.
