ObjectiveThe student will be able to: recognize and use the commutative and associative properties and the properties of equality.
Commutative Property Commutative means that the order does not make any difference. a + b = b + a a • b = b • a Examples 4 + 5 = 5 + 4 2 • 3 = 3 • 2 The commutative property does not work for subtraction or division.
Associative Property Associative means that the grouping does not make any difference. (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (ab) c = a (bc) Examples (1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3) (2 • 3) • 4 = 2 • (3 • 4) The associative property does not work for subtraction or division.
Name the property1) 5a + (6 + 2a) = 5a + (2a + 6) commutative (switching order) 2) 5a + (2a + 6) = (5a + 2a) + 6 associative (switching groups) 3) 2(3 + a) = 6 + 2a distributive

Which property would justify the following statement? 8x + 4 = 4 + 8x • Associative property of addition • Distributive property • Addition property of zero • Commutative property of addition
Which property would justify the following statement?8 + (2 + 6) = (8 + 2) + 6 • Associative property of addition • Distributive property • Addition property of zero • Commutative property of addition
