Option 1 : Commutative and Associative

The commutative property states that the change in the order of two numbers in an addition or multiplication operation does not change the sum or the product.

  • a + b = c and also b + a = c     in addition 
  • a x b = c and also b x a = c     in multiplication

The associative property states that the sum or the product of three or more numbers does not change if they are grouped in a different way

  • (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) in addition
  • (a × b) × c = a × (b × c) in multiplication

In the above example while adding  73 + 35 + 27 the student followed (73 + 35) + 27 = (35 + 73) + 27 = 35 + (73 + 27) = 35 + 100 = 135 where he/she followed the commutative and associative properties.

Distributive Property a(b + c) = ab + ac.
Identity Property
  • The Identity property of multiplication states that when we multiply 1 by any number, the product is the number itself. 
  • The Identity property of addition states that when we 0 to any number, the sum is the number itself.
