PROPERTIES OF ADDITION Identity Property of Addition: 3.2 + 0 = 3.2 OR x + 0 = x • The Identity Property states that any number plus zero will get you back to the number you started with • 0 is called the Identity Element for addition
MORE PROPERTIES OF ADDITION Commutative Property of Addition: 3.2 + 6.7 = 6.7 + 3.2 OR x + y = y + x • The Commutative Property states that it does not matter which order you list the numbers to add them
MORE PROPERTIES OF ADDITION Associative Property of Addition: (2.5 + 6) + 4 = 2.5 + (6 + 2.4) OR(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) • The Associative Property of Addition states that if you have 3 or more numbers that are all being added together, you can add any two at a time
