1. Solve the additions below.

a. 5 + (-3) and (-3) + 5
b. [(-7) + 25] + - (-12) and (-7) + [25 + (-12)]

2. Have you ever gone to the Zoo?

Think about this problem, if the keeper feeds elephants 25 kilograms of grass in the
morning, and in the afternoon elephants need 100 kilograms of grass, how many kilograms
of grass are needed for a long day.
When the keeper makes a mistake that in that morning elephants feed 100 kilograms, and
the afternoon the elephants feed 25 kilograms, how many kilograms of grass are feeding for
a long day by keeper?
Do you find the different from both of the result?
Explain your answer by considering to the properties of operations.

3. Consider to the below story;

A boy collected 10 blue marbles on the way he missed 3 marbles because his pocket in fact
rip. His brother empathies to give the boy 4 blue marbles. And another day the boy has 10
blue marbles and his lovely brother gives him 4 more blue marble, unfortunately because his
careless the marble drop and he lose 3 marbles on the way. How many marbles left in his
pocket at the first event and the second event?
Which properties of arithmetic operation to fulfill for solve the above problems?

4. Do the exercise below.

a. 8 + 0 = 0 + 8 = . . .
b. 2 + 7 = ……

5. Pay attention to the below events;

Before being placed the furniture, this room was empty. Now, this room has contained by the
furniture. When this room was emptied, the furniture placed in another room.

 Key of Worksheet

1. Solution:.
a. 5 + (-3) = 2 and (-3) + 5 = 2
The property of arithmetic operation that fulfill is Commutative law.

b. [(-7) + 25] + (-12) = 6 and (-7) + [25 + (-12)] = 6

The property of arithmetic operation that fulfill is Associative law.

2. The grass feed by elephants is ….

25 kg + 100 kg = 125 kg
100 kg + 25 kg = 125 kg

No, I am not found the difference of both results.

The property of arithmetic operation: Commutative law.

3. The marbles left his pocket are ….

(10 – 3) + 4 = 11
(10 + 4) – 3 = 11
The property of arithmetic operation: Associative law.

4. 8 + 0 = 0 + 8 = 8
2+7=9

5. a. Initial case = 0
Final case = There is Furniture
Identity element
b. Initial case = There is Furniture
Final case = 0

6. A tiger need 3 kg meat

2 tigers need = 2 x 3 kg meat = 6 kg meat
3 tigers need = 3 x 3 kg meat = 9 kg meat
6 tigers need = 6 x 3 kg meat = 18 kg meat
