What is the Associative Property of Addition?

Back

The Associative Property of Addition states that the way in which numbers are grouped in addition does not change their sum. For example, (5 + 7) + 8 = 5 + (7 + 8).

Front

What is the Commutative Property of Addition?

Back

The Commutative Property of Addition states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change their sum. For example, 6 + 4 = 4 + 6.

Front

What is the Distributive Property?

Back

The Distributive Property states that a number multiplied by a sum is equal to the sum of the individual products. For example, 9(x + 2) = 9x + 18.
