What is it called when you change the order of the factors or addends?
When you change the order of the factors in a multiplication equation, it is called the Commutative Property of Multiplication. This property states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product. Similarly, when you change the order of the addends in an addition equation, it is called the Commutative Property of Addition. This property states that changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.
Why can you change the order of the addends in the commutative property?
This is possible because the order of the addends does not matter. For example, 3+8 is the same as 8+3. No matter how you list the addends, the sum will always be the same.
What is the definition of the Commutative Property of Addition?
Changing the order of addends does not change their sum. In symbolic form, a + b =b + a. Subtraction is not commutative .
Change the order or group the addends so that you can add mentally find the sum. Name the property you used?
22+14+8
Does the order for the positive integers and negative integers of the addends affect the sum?
No.
