Associative And Commutative Property Of Addition Worksheets. Free printable Commutative and Associative properties of addition practice examples worksheet. with answers key. The Associative Property of Addition is one of four basic properties that students will learn in early addition lessons and use later in multiplication and pre-algebra.
The associative property states that you can re-group numbers and you will get the same answer and the commutative property states that you can move numbers around and still arrive at the same answer. It explains how we can change groups (move parentheses) in a problem to make it easier to solve. The "Commutative Laws" say we can swap numbers over and still get the same answer. when we add: In math, the associative and commutative properties are laws applied to addition and multiplication that always exist.
Instructions are included on each print-out, but I'll cover each one in more depth further down.
This one page worksheet introduces the associative property.
The above example is covered more in my lesson on the Associative property. The commutative property or commutative law means you can change the order you add or multiply the numbers and get the same result. For each property, there is a poster with a student friendly definition and an example.
