Zoe from the StudyJams! crew brings the properties of addition to life by clearly explaining the meaning of the associative, commutative, and identity properties as she collects photos for an album. Listen to the included karaoke song...

Help your class discover the commutative property of addition with this exploration of the addition table. By folding and coloring the table, a symmetry is found that directs students to an understanding of this crucial mathematical...

Fact families are an excellent way to connect math operations for beginners to addition and subtraction. Use the examples here to review this concept before scholars try these on their own. For each, they examine two related number...

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...

A five-question interactive provides a horizontal number line where integers are stacked on top of one another to find solutions of addition problems. Mathematicians move numbers to the numbers line, as numbers build higher, the sum of...

An interactive boosts mathematicians' knowledge of subtracting integers using a horizontal number line by way of multiple-choice, true or false, and discussion questions. 

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.

Groupings are the way to go! The short video provides a description of the associative property of addition and gives an example. Learners view how to write the property using variables.

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...

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.

Charley and Professor Perez show us how to add numbers in a variety of ways. They use a number line to show how the various methods work. This clip shows learners that there are multiple ways to solve any addition problem. Intended for...

An addition table supports third graders as they learn strategies to improve their math fluency. When finding sums greater than ten, students are taught how to first make a ten and then add on the rest. A similar method is also...

Introduce scholars to the commutative and additive identity properties of addition with two sets of practice problems. First, they fill in the missing addend by choosing from a group of three possible answers. These six addition...

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...

In this math instructional activity, students will work with a coach to learn about and practice three addition properties: associative, commutative, and identity. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for...

Students investigate the associative property of addition. In this associative property of addition lesson, students work in pairs and build addition problems with six blocks. They sit on either side of a desk so that they can "read" the...

In this addition properties worksheet, students compete a 10 question quiz, identifying the property that is demonstrated in each equation, associative, commutative or identity. Answers included on page 2.

In this addition properties worksheet, students complete problems involving the commutative, associative, and identity properties. Students complete 5 problems.

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...

Seventh graders explore the concept of properties. In this properties lesson, 7th graders discuss the various math properties including the commutative, associative, distributive, multiplication properties and so on. Students create...

Middle schoolers explore the concept of addition and multiplication properties. In this addition and multiplication properties lesson, students create a foldable with the properties commutative, associative, identity, and distributive...

In this addition properties worksheet, students use addition properties to answer the six word problems about the national parks of the United States.

In this addition properties activity, students fill in the missing number in 6 addition sentences. Students tell which property of addition was used to find each answer. There is no list of the properties and there are no examples.

In this addition properties learning exercise, students solve 17 problems, including 2 test prep problems. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.
