Lesson Idea for Teaching the Associative Property of Multiplication: Using white boards and five students, have them stand at the board. Give three students one number each. For example, 5 3 and 2. Then have one student be opening parenthesis and the last student be the closing parenthesis. Have an "audience" classmate arrange them, with guidance if needed, to organize the students into a problem. (3 x 2) x 5= then have them select a student to answer the parenthesis part first and stand with their white board saying 6. Have a new student solve the last step of the problem, 6 x 5= 30.
Next, involve another student to rearrange the problem and parenthesis. Continue to call students up to the front with their whiteboards until it has been solved each time. After three to four rearrangements, you can then discuss with everyone that Ah-ha moment that no mater what, it is always 30.
The task cards allow you to pull one, put it on the over head and not worry about it being too difficult for your third graders to solve.

Common Core State Standards 3.OA.B.5
Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
