Properties of Addition Worksheet | 3.OA.B.5 | Workybooks - For Teachers, Parents & Homeschoolers

About this worksheet

"Properties of Addition" is a comprehensive mathematics worksheet that introduces and reinforces fundamental addition principles. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Properties of Addition, clearly explains four essential properties of addition: Commutative, Associative, Identity, and Inverse. Each property is presented with a clear definition and example, making complex mathematical concepts accessible to young learners.

Decorated with charming strawberry vines and ladybugs, the worksheet features eight carefully crafted problems that test students' understanding of these properties. Students must both complete the mathematical equations by filling in missing numbers and identify which property is being demonstrated in each case. The problems progress from simple applications of the identity property to more complex examples of associative and inverse properties, providing a thorough review of all concepts while maintaining student engagement.

Common Core standards covered

3.OA.B.5

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide.2 Examples: If 6 _ 4 = 24 is known, then 4 _ 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 _ 5 _ 2 can be found by 3 _ 5 = 15, then 15 _ 2 = 30, or by 5 _ 2 = 10, then 3 _ 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 _ 5 = 40 and 8 _ 2 = 16, one can find 8 _ 7 as 8 _ (5 + 2) = (8 _ 5) + (8 _ 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
