Identity Property Sorting

This worksheet asks students to sort equations into two categories: identity property examples and non-examples. Learners review basic, mixed, larger-number, and variable-based expressions to determine whether each equation adds zero or multiplies by one. Students must analyze each item carefully to decide if the identity property is being used, supporting strong conceptual reasoning. The sorting activity encourages comparison, attention to detail, and evaluation of mathematical structures. By categorizing expressions, students strengthen their ability to distinguish between equations that maintain value and those that do not. This worksheet reinforces property recognition across a broad range of equation types.
