Associative Property of Addition Teacher Resources

Middle schoolers identify and use the commutative properties of addition and multiplication, associative properties of addition and multiplication, and the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

The number of basic algebraic properties can become overwhelming for learners. A lesson explains and gives examples for all the basic algebraic properties. The resource is perfect to use as a way for pupils to organize and...

It does not matter how you group numbers in addition and subtraction. The short video provides the definition for the associative property. It includes examples to show the associative property holds true for addition and multiplication.

A seven-question assessment determines how well your learners understand the procedures to add, subtract, multiply, and divide signed rational numbers. Pupils show their understanding through problem-solving situations. 

Get in one last practice. Pupils work through 12 problems and a performance task to review the topics in Unit 1. The problems cover analyzing and modeling with graphs, algebraic properties of equality, and adding, subtracting, and...

Three tables, prepared for learners to write notes about the properties of real numbers, are squeezed onto one printable. The addition and multiplication of real numbers are the focus of the notes.

Properly apply properties to arrive at equivalent expressions. Pupils review the main properties of equivalence with the guidance from the video. They take the knowledge from the video and apply the properties within the instruction and...

Apply properties of operations to work with mixed numbers. The first of two lesson plans that focus on properties of operations works with mixed numbers and converting opposites of sums. Pupils work with properties of operations to break...

The ninth part in a 25-part series emphasizes the importance of using properties of operations in evaluating sums and differences of rational numbers. Pupils solve problems and provide justifications for each step.

Using their knowledge of the associative and commutative properties of addition, class members work with fact families to create two addition and two subtraction problems with three given numbers. 

Students amaze their friends and families with this human calculator trick. In this algebraic lesson, students use the associative property of addition to act as a human calculator and stump their volunteers. The steps to the trick,...

Only three choices exist here—commutative, associative, or distributive. Through an informative video, viewers learn about the commutative, associative, and distributive properties. Given several numerical equations, they identify which...

Add a great resource to a unit on addition properties. Scholars watch a short YouTube video to learn about the addition properties of real numbers. They see, through examples, how they can apply properties to rewrite addition expressions...

Here are the complete set of the math practice standards and the Common Core standards for first grade. They cover operations & algebraic thinking, operations in base 10, measurement and data, and geometry. Illustrated nicely with...

What can a middle schooler do in 90 minutes? He can practice using the commutative, associative and distributive properties of addition and multiplication. He can also simplify expressions using the commutative, associative and...

Explore the definitions of algebraic properties through a hands-on activity. Individuals cut and paste examples and match them to the correct properties. After examining the provided examples, pupils create examples of their own.

The 28-page resource contains cards with terms relating to multiplication from inverse operations to front-end estimation to array. Each sheet contains two cards; one with the word and one with the definition.

If you are looking for a visual warm-up on the commutative property, this might be the one. There is just one problem here, and you will need to guide learners through it since the objective isn't clear. They practice the commutative...

If you need some creative ways to teach the order of operations, use a series of activities that focus on properties. Each lesson uses different materials and works as a stand-alone activity, or can build upon the concepts of the last...

Don't cover up this resource — use it out in the open! Pupils learn how to cover up various parts of a linear equation in order to help solve the equation. A worksheet of problems provides practice with this skill.

Any first grader can master the Common Core math standards with this checklist! With each standard rewritten as an affirmative I can statement, children are provide with clear goals to work toward throughout the school...

Examine some properties that don't require a general contractor. Scholars first complete a mental math activity that uses the properties of real numbers. A separate activity formalizes these properties.

Young scholars identity properties of addition and multiplication. In this addition and subtraction properties lesson, students explore commutative, associative, and distributive properties as they design posters that feature the...

Learners identify and define the rules of properties of real numbers. They rewrite each of the problems listed using the commutative or associative properties. Pupils apply problem solving strategies to clarify situations in a table...
