Virtual Nerd:what Are the Commutative Properties of Addition and Multiplication?

Addition and subtraction have a different identity than multiplication and division. Learn about each of these identities with this tutorial. [2:41]

The instructor demonstrates that when you add the opposite value of a given number to that number you will always get zero. Then she shows how multiplying by the inverse of any number except zero will equal 1.

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.

The commutative property is very useful when multiplying numbers. This tutorial explains how to use it. [4:22]
