| Commutative property: Any order you add numbers the sum will be the same regardless of the order of the addends. |
| 6+7=13 and 7+6=13 |
| 3+4=7 and 4+3=7 |
| Associative Property: When you are adding three are more numbers you can group them in any order and the sum will be the same. |
| (9+2)+3=14 and 9+(2+3)=14 |
| (6+4)+2=12 and (2+4)+6=12 |
| Additive Identity Property: The sum of any number and zero is the original number. The value of a number does not change by adding zero. |
| Distributive property: The sum of two numbers times a third number is equal to the sum of each addend times the third number. For example 4 * (6 + 3) = 4*6 + 4*3 |
