The numbers of students in the four sixth-grade classes at northside school are 26,19,,34,and 21.use the properties to find the total number of students in the four classes.
me with this i dont understand this plaese me : (

Basically there are 3 addition properties and they are associative property, identity property, and commutative property.

Commutative property is just changing the order of the addends. Example: 26+19+34+21= 21+34+19+26

Identity Property is just adding a 0 to the number that doesnt change anything. Example: 26+19+34+21 +0 = 100

Associative property is just changing the grouping of the addends. Example: (26+19) + (34+21)

I know these properties may be complicated i know inhate them too haha but i hope i helped :) if you want you can search up the distributive property too but its with multiplication and addition combined and its harder but i think these are the 3 main properties.

They are somewhat similar
