Properties of Addition

What is the commutative property of addition?

• Changing the order of the numbers being added does not change the sum.

• Adding two numbers always results in a larger sum.

• The sum of two numbers is always equal to their product.

• The order of the numbers being added changes the sum.

Which property states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum?

• Identity property of addition

• Distributive property of addition

• Associative property of addition

• Commutative property of addition

True or False: The commutative property of addition only applies to two numbers.

• Only to odd numbers

• Only to even numbers

• True

• False

What is the associative property of addition?

• Adding two numbers in a different order will result in a different sum.

• The sum of any two numbers is always the same regardless of their order.

• Changing the grouping of the numbers being added does not change the sum.

• Changing the order of the numbers being added does not change the sum.
