Properties of Addition

The document discusses the three properties of addition: 1. The Commutative Property states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum, such as A + B = B + A. 2. The Associative Property states that the grouping of addends does not affect the sum, such as (A + B) + C = A + (B + C). 3. The Identity Property states that adding zero to a number does not change the number, such as A + 0 = A.

Properties of

Addition
Class V
First Session of Chapter 2
Addition
Let’s recapitulate two terms which we use
in addition :

A) Addends
B) Sum

Enjoy the video !


Three Properties of Addition
1. Commutative
2. Associative
3. Identity

These properties will


help you to solve
questions.
The Commutative Property
• Background
– The word commutative comes from the
verb “to commute.”
• Commuting means changing, replacing, or
exchanging

– People who travel back and forth to


work are called commuters.
Here are two families of commuters.
Commuter
B
Commuter
A Commuter A & Commuter B
changed lanes.

Remember… commute
means to change.

Commuter
Commuter
A
B
Here is another example…
Think of this hypothetical situation:

Every day you ride your bicycle to school.


The distance from home to school is 2 kilometre.
The distance from school to home is also
2 kilometre
Home School

The distance from Home to School is the


same as the distance from school to home.

Home + School = School + Home


H+S=S+H
The Commutative Property

A+B=B+A
Three Properties of Addition
1. Commutative
2. Associative
3. Identity
The Associative Property
• Background
– The word associative comes from the
verb “to associate.”
Associate means connected, joined, or
related

– People who work together are called


associates.
• They are joined together by business, and
they do talk to one another.
Let’s look at another situation

Three people work together.

Associate B needs to call Associates A and


C to share some news.

Does it matter whom he call first?


Here are three associates.

B calls A first He calls C


last

If he called C first,
then called A, would
it have made a
A C
difference?
NO!
(The Role of Bracket )

• In math, we use brackets to show groups.

So….
The Associative Property
The brackets identify which two associates talked first.

(A + B) + C = A + (B + C)

B B

THEN THEN

A C A C
Three Properties of Addition
1. Commutative
2. Associative
3. Identity
The Identity Property of Addition
I am me!
You cannot change
My identity!
Zero is the only number
you can add to something
and see no change.
Identity Property of Addition

+0=

A+0=A
Let’s practice !

Look at the problem.


Identify which property it represents.
(9 + 8) + 7 = 9 + (8 + 7)
17 + 7 = 9 + 15
24 = 24
The Associative Property of Addition
It is the only addition property that
has brackets.
12 + 0 = 12
0 + 12 =12
The Identity Property of Addition

It is the only addition property that


has two addends and one of them
is a zero.
9+7=7+9
16 = 16

The Commutative Property of Addition

It is the only addition property that


has numbers that change places.
4+6=6+4
10 = 10
The Commutative Property of Addition

Numbers change places.


3+0=3
The Identity Property of Addition

See the zero?


(4 + 3) + 2 = 4 + (3 + 2)
7+2=4+5
9=9
The Associative Property of Addition
