The Switch by Jack Hartmann teaches about the commutative property of multiplication. Two numbers can be multiplied in either order to get the same answer. We call this The Switch. You can sing along with the numbers as they switch, and then show how much you know about The Switch for this great multiplication tip.
Lyrics
The switch, the switch when you multiply
And you'll get the same answer every time
The switch, the switch when you multiply
And you'll get the same answer every time
You just go like this, and you can do the switch
The switch
2 x 5 is 10
switch
5 x 2 is 10
4 x 10 is 40
Switch
10 x 4 is 40
1 x 9 is 9
Switch
9 x 1 is 9
7 x 0 is 0
Switch
0 x 7 is 0
The switch, the switch when you multiply
And you'll get the same answer every time
You just go like this and you can do the switch
9 x 12 is 108
Switch
12 x 9 is 108
3 x 4 is 12
Switch
4 x 3 is 12
8 x 9 is 72
Switch
9 x 8 is 72
4 x 6 is 24
Switch
6 x 4 is 24
Alright, Can you do the switch on your own?
I think you can
4 x 8 is 32

Switch
7 x 6 is ____

Do the switch, the switch when you multiply
And you'll get the same answer every time
The switch, the switch when you multiply
And you'll get the same answer every time
The Switch, the Switch can help you multiply
The Switch, the Switch can help you multiply
