Key Facts & Information

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

A NOTE FOR THE TEACHER

  • When teaching properties of operations, keep in mind the following:
    • Remind the students now and then of the commutative and associative properties of addition.
    • When dealing with addition of 3 whole numbers, they can choose whichever strategy works best for them.
    • However, the simplest strategy is to add or subtract from left to right.

THEORY

  • The order in which you solve operations is an important skill to learn in Mathematics–meaning, knowing which operations go first and which operations go last.
  • When solving problems involving addition and subtraction, we apply the commutative property of addition. This means that we can add numbers in any order.
    • (eg. 3+7=7+3).
  • Furthermore, in groups of numbers, we apply the associative property of addition, which allows us to group numbers in any order
    • (e.g. 2+(9+1)=(2+9)+1.)
  • This implies that students can learn to apply their unique strategy when adding or subtracting numbers.
    • (e.g., grouping numbers in ascending/descending order or grouping the numbers in pairs of biggest to smallest and vise versa).
  • The simplest strategy, however, is to add and subtract from left to right.
