| A | B |
|---|
| commutative property of addition | order of the addends does not matter, product will be the same |
| commutative property of multiplication | order of factors does not matter, product will be the same |
| example of commutative property of addition | 2+3+5 ; 3+2=5 |
| ex.: of commutative property of multiplication | 4x5=20, 5x4=20 |
| Associative property of addition | grouping does not matter, the sum will be the same |
| Ex. Associative property of Addition | (-2+3)+1= -2(+3+1) |
| Associative property of Multiplication | grouping does not matter, the product will be the same |
| Ex. of Associative property of Mutltiplication | (1x1)+1 = 1 x (1 + 1) |
