3-1 and 3-2 Addition Rules Name________________________________________ The Commutative Property of Addition: For any numbers a and b, OR You

can add things together in any order you want! Examples: 1+2=2+1 4+6=6+4 3.2 + 4.6 = 4.6 + 3.2 a+b=b+a Date___________________________________

The Associative Property of Addition: For any numbers a, b, and, c, OR When adding multiple numbers you can group them together how ever you want! Examples: (2+1)+5=2+(1+5) (4+3)+2=4+(3+2) (9+0)+1=9+(0+1) (a+b)+c=a+(b+c)

Measures with Different Units When combining two measurements they must have the same units. Example 1: Brian was 4 feet 11 inches tall at the beginning of 5th grade. He grew two and half inches during the school year. How tall was Brian at the end of the school year? Express your answer in inches.

3 ft Example 2: Find the perimeter of the triangle.

1 ft 6 in

8 in
