Commutative Property of Addition

Changing theChanging the order order of two addends of two addends does not change their sum.does not change their sum.

4 + 2 = 6 4 + 2 = 6 andand 2 + 4 = 6 2 + 4 = 6


Associative Property of Addition

Changing theChanging the groupinggrouping of addends of addends does not change their sum.does not change their sum.

3 + (4 + 2) = 3 + 6 = 93 + (4 + 2) = 3 + 6 = 9

andand

(3 + 4) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9(3 + 4) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9


Subtraction Properties of 0Subtraction Properties of 0

The difference of any number and that The difference of any number and that same number is 0.same number is 0.

9 - 9 = 09 - 9 = 0

The difference of any number and 0 is The difference of any number and 0 is the same number.the same number.

7 - 0 = 77 - 0 = 7
