We learned that the commutative property of addition tells us numbers can be added in any order and you will still get the same answer. The formula for this property is a + b = b + a. For example, adding 1 + 2 or 2 + 1 will give us the same answer according to the commutative property of addition.
Step-by-step explanation:
or
Commutative property of addition: Changing the order of addends does not change the sum. For example, 4 + 2 = 2 + 4 4 + 2 = 2 + 4 4+2=2+44, plus, 2, equals, 2, plus, 4. Associative property of addition: Changing the grouping of addends does not change the sum.
