Introduction

This worksheet introduces the identity property through definitions, examples, and guided practice. Students learn how adding zero or multiplying by one keeps a number unchanged, forming the basis for the additive and multiplicative identity rules. They then complete multiple-choice problems requiring identification of the number that preserves the value in each equation. Additional tasks ask learners to fill in blanks with variables or numbers to make equations true using identity rules. The final section requires students to locate the part of an equation that shows the identity property, strengthening conceptual understanding. This page blends explanation, identification, and application to create a comprehensive introductory lesson.
