Teaching Notes:
D?
• Some students need to practice basic addition and subtraction facts at home in order to master them.
• Some students need to write the carry digit in order to get the correct answer for addition with carrying.
• Many need to write the borrowing step in order to get the correct answer for subtraction with borrowing.
• Point out that the commutative property deals with the order of the addends, whereas the associative
property deals with the grouping (order does not change) of the addends.
•
??
Point out that the commutative and associative properties do not generally apply to subtraction problems.
