Commutative Property Teacher Resources

Connect the commutative property to commuting. The quick video shows how to use the commutative property to write sums and products in a different way. It provides examples to show that the property only works for addition and...

Here are 10 simple addition problems intended to provide practice for those learning the commutative property of addition. Each question asks learners to fill in the missing addend that makes each equation true. An answer key is provided.

Skills and drill practice may not thrill your class but as they say, practice makes perfect. They solve 16 single digit addition problems that require them to use the commutative property. Additional instructional activity are available...

For a change, order does not matter. A short video provides a definition of the commutative property of addition. Pupils develop an understanding that—unlike some operations—order does not matter for addition problems.

Addition becomes much simpler once scholars understand its properties. They examine the commutative property through five equation pairs. For each, the addends have been switched and scholars must fill one in. The next six problems give...

In this addition instructional activity, students solve 26 addition problems with 4 addends each. Students use the commutative property of addition to change the order of the addends and to find the sum. The problems are in horizontal...

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...

Find examples of math properties! On each of these two worksheets, learners examine five sets of number sentences, marking the ones which demonstrate the indicated property. The first page deals with the associative property. For each of...

In these multiplication worksheets, students examine the use of the commutative and associative properties. They use the communative property to find the product in the first 30 problems. They read about the use of the associative...

Your class knows about the commutative property of addition - now introduce them to the commutative property of multiplication. They review the concept, work through some examples, then try a few problems out on their own. One property...

These fact families need to be completed. Scholars use addition and subtraction to complete four number sentences for each set of three numbers. The sentences are all part of the number set's fact family, and demonstrate the commutative...

Matching number sentences to their visual equivalents may seem easy, but there is a trick here to keep your learners thinking about math properties. As they examine the numerical forms of six addition problems, they must utilize the...

This presentation covers a lot of ground. Square numbers, metal math computations, commutative property, ordering positive and negative integers, factoring, and real world problem solving are all covered. Use over the course of several...

In this commutative property worksheet, 5th graders find the missing number to complete 16 equations that follows the commutative property of addition. 

First graders use various models to learn the Commutative Property of Addition. In this Commutative Property lesson, 1st graders use other students, counters, balances, and dominoes to apply the addition property. Students solve addition...

In this multiplication worksheet, students learn to use arrays when solving multiplication problems. Students also use the commutative property to solve the problems. Students solve six multiplication word problems using arrays and the...

Pupils identify and define various mathematical properties, such as the commutative properties of addition and multiplication, and the associative property of addition. They also reason and communicate mathematically by making...

Should matrices be allowed to commute when they are being multiplied? Learners analyze this question to determine if the commutative property applies to matrices. They connect their exploration to transformations, vectors, and complex...

The lesson says it is intended for 4th grade but it is suitable for grades 1-3 as well. The class discusses what it means to add, the commutative property of addition, and mathematical reasoning. This is an exercise in number sense,...
