New Terms: Commutative Properties – changing the order of the values you are adding or multiplying does not change the sum or product.
Associative Properties – Changing the grouping of the values you are adding or multiplying does not change the sum or product.
Additive Identity – when you add a number to 0, the sum equals the original number.
Multiplicative Identity – when you multiply a number to 1, the product equals the original number.

Carlos spent $42 on his golf game. He then bought
a bottle of water for $2 and a chef’s salad for $8. What was
the total cost for his golf game and meal?
Properties of NumbersProperties of Numbers
Lesson 2-1
42 + (2 + 8) = 42 + 10 = 52 Add 2 and 8 first.
Carlos’s total cost was $52.
You can use the Associative Property of Addition to find the total cost in two different ways.
(42 + 2) + 8 = 44 + 8 = 52 Add 42 and 2 first.
