Properties of Addition.

The document summarizes key properties of addition: 1) The commutative property states that addition is commutative, meaning the order of the addends does not matter (e.g. 5 + 2 = 2 + 5). 2) The associative property states that the grouping of addends can change without affecting the sum (e.g. (6 + 3) + 5 = 6 + (3 + 5)). 3) The identity property states that adding zero to any number does not change the number (e.g. 42 + 0 = 42).

PROPERTIES OF ADDITION
Commutative Property

You can add in any order.

5+2=7 *2+5=7

 3 + 6 + 7 = 16 * 7 + 3 + 6 = 16
Let’s look at another hypothetical
situation

Three people work together.

Associate B needs to call Associates A and


C to share some news.

Does it matter who he calls first?


Here are three associates.

B calls A first He calls C


last

If he called C first,
then called A, would
it have made a
A C
difference?
NO!
(The Role of Parentheses)

• In math, we use parentheses to show groups.

• In the order of operations, the numbers and


operations in parentheses are done first.

So….
Associative Property

You can change the grouping.


REMEMBER: Add the numbers in parentheses
first.

* (6 + 3) + 5 = 14 * 6 + (3 + 5) = 14

* (8 + 2) + 4 = 14 * 8 + (2 + 4) = 14
The Identity Property of Addition

145+0=
456+0=
11,542+0=11,542
1000000000000+0=1000000000000
Zero is the only number
you can add to something
and doesn’t change.
Identity Property of Addition

+0=

A+0=A
Let’s practice !

Look at the problem.


Identify which property it represents.
(9 + 8) + 7 = 9 + (8 + 7)

It is the only addition property that


has parentheses.
12 + 0 = 12

It is the only addition property that


has two addends and one of them
is a zero.
9+7=7+9

It is the only addition property that


has numbers that change places.
4+6=6+4
Numbers change places.
3+0=3
See the zero?
(4 + 3) + 2 = 4 + (3 + 2)

It has parentheses!
a+0=a
Zero!
a+b=b+a
Moving numbers!
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

Parentheses!

A C
• 42+11= ______ 11+42= _______
• 56+24=_______ 24+56=_______
• 108+35=________ 35+108=_______

• (28+12)+4= 62+(41+5)

• 84+(62+52)= (33+33)+12=
