Commutative properties of addition and subtraction

a + b = b + a e.g.: 4 + 5 = 5 + 4

a × b=b ×a e.g.: 4 ×5=5× 4

Numbers can be added in any order.

Numbers can be multiplied in any order.

BUT
5 - 4 ≠ 4 - 5 5 ÷ 4 ≠ 4 ÷ 5
Subtraction and division are NOT commutative.
Numbers cannot be subtracted or divided in any order.
1) Use commutative properties to complete the following number
sentences:

a) 76+ 89=89 +¿ ¿ f) 4 ×8 ×6=6 ׿ × 8

• Numbers can be grouped in any order with addition.
a x (b x c) = (a x b) x c e.g.: 3 x (4 x 7) = (3 x 4) x 7
• Numbers can be grouped in any order with multiplication.
12 - (7 - 4) ≠ (12 - 7) - 4 e.g.: 24 ÷ (6 ÷ 2) ≠ (24 ÷ 6) ÷ 2
• Subtraction and division are NOT associative.
• Numbers cannot be grouped in any order with subtraction.

2) Use associative properties to complete the following number

sentences:

a) 86+(89+ 96)=89+(¿¿ ) f) 4 ×(8 ×6)=(6 ׿ )× 8

b) (62 ×86)×21=86 ×(¿¿ 21) g) ¿

Multiplication and division are called inverse operations. If you multiply and divide with the same

a) 845 × 45 ÷ 45=¿ ¿ d) 247 ×35 ÷¿ =247

amount you will end up with the number, you started with.

b) 753+ 47−47=¿ ¿ e) 314 +¿ −43=314

Identity element
Zero is called the identity element of addition and subtraction since a number will stay the same
when adding or subtracting 0.

a+ 0=a e.g.: 486 + 0 = 486 a−0=a e.g.:

486−0=486

One is called the identity element of multiplication and division since a number will stay the same
when multiplying or dividing with 1.

5) Use the identity element to complete the following number sentences:

a × 1=a e.g.: 856 ×1=856

e.g.:
