Commutative and Associative property

Front

What is the associative property?

Back

The way in which three or more terms are grouped does not change the sum or product. For example, (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).

Front

What is the commutative property?

Back

The order in which two numbers are added or multiplied does not change the sum or product. For example, a + b = b + a.
