Commutative Properties
Think of “commuting” from home to school…
Addition
4+5=5+4
a + b = b + a
Addends trade places
3 + (7 + 6) = (7 + 6) + 3
Multiplication 3 ∙ 6 = 6 ∙ 3
ab = ba
Factors trade places
5(4 ∙ 8) = (4 ∙ 8)5

Ch. 3 Section # 1
Associative Properties
Groups change, Numbers stay in same order
Addition
(7 + 5) + 6 = 7 + (5 + 6)
a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c
You are just regrouping the numbers so “friends” can be together.
Multiplication
4(3 ∙ 7) = (4 ∙ 3)7
(a ∙ b)c = a(b ∙ c)

Identify the Property
Compare left and right sides of equal sign
Ask, “What has Changed?”
Order – Commutative
Grouping - Associative
1. 16 + ½ = ½ + 16
1.Order Commutative of Add
2. 6(5a)=(6 ∙ 5)a
2.Grouping  Associative of Mult.
3. 4 ∙ (f ∙ 9) = (f ∙ 9) ∙ 4
3.Order  Commutative of Mult.
4. (g + h) + k = g + (h + k)
4.Grouping  Associative of Add

Distributive Property
a (b  c )  a  b  a  c
and
a (b  c )  a  b  a  c
Think of a teacher distributing something
to every student in the class.

Ch. 3 Section # 1
The Distributive Property
PROBLEM: 4(x + 3)
Four is multiplying the quantity “x + 3”
That means four will multiply both the x
and the 3!
 Multiply 4 times x
 Copy the operation sign
 Multiply 4 times 3
4 times x
4 times 3
4(x + 3)
4x + 12

Inequalities
When is it an operation and when is it an inequality?
x—9
1. 9 less than x
Subtraction and switch the order When an “is”
is in front of
2. 9 is less than a
an operation
9 < a
phase like
Inequality 
“less than”
3. 10 greater than y y + 10
“greater than”
“more than”
Addition and switch the order
and “fewer
4. 10 is greater than b
than”, it is
10 > b
an inequality.
Inequality 

Inequalities
When do you flip the inequality?
-5 < 10
4 ∙ (-5)
-20
<
10 ∙ 4
What happens when you multiply
both sides of inequality by a positive
number?
Inequality stays the same!
40
-5 < 10
-3 ∙ (-5)
<
15
10 ∙ (-3)
-30
What happens when you multiply
both sides of inequality by a
negative number?
Inequality flips!
