Use Properties for Mental Math
You can use the properties of addition and multiplication to compute
using mental math.
Commutative Property of Addition:
Changing the order of the addends does not change the sum.
Commutative Property of Multiplication:
Changing the order of the factors does not change the product.
Distributive Property:
Multiplying a sum by a number is the same as multiplying each addend
by the number and then adding the products.

16. How does the commutative property help you find sums and products using mental
math?
I can change the order of the addends or factors so that I can do the
easy computations first.
