Addition and Subtraction

Description

The Commutative Property of Addition states that the order of numbers being added does not affect the sum. For example, 2 + 3 = 5 is the same as 3 + 2 = 5. This property highlights the flexibility in addition operations. Recognizing the commutative property simplifies addition and builds a foundation for algebraic reasoning.
