Understanding Addition and Subtraction Properties

What does the commutative property of addition allow you to do with numbers?

• Add numbers in a specific order

• Subtract numbers instead of adding

• Change the numbers to different values

• Move numbers around without changing the sum

How does the associative property of addition help in solving problems?

• It lets you group numbers differently without changing the sum

• It only works with subtraction

• It allows you to change the numbers to different values

• It requires numbers to be added in a specific order

If you have 3 apples, 2 oranges, and 4 bananas, how can you use the associative property to find the total?

• Add 3, 2, and 4 in any order

• Add 2 and 4 first, then add 3

• Group 3 and 2, then add 4

• Add 3 and 4 first, then add 2

How can addition help in solving the subtraction problem 10 - 8?

• By subtracting 8 from 10 directly

• By finding a number that adds to 8 to make 10

• By adding 10 and 8

• By multiplying 10 and 8

What is the result of 8 - 5 using addition?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5
