associative property : The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped. By 'grouped' we mean 'how you use parenthesis'. In other words, if you are adding or multiplying it does not matter where you put the parenthesis. Add some parenthesis any where you like!.

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products. OK, that definition is not really all that helpful for most people. It is easier to understand the meaning if you look at the examples below.
