Mental Math
How can you use mental math to add and subtract?
Jon bought 3 items. Properties of addition can help him find the sum of the cost.
Another Example
How can you use compensation to add or subtract?
Sometimes you can change an addition or subtraction problem to make it simpler. With compensation you adjust one number to make computation easier and compensate by changing the other number.
Using compensation to add
Find 39 + 17 mentally.
39 + 17 = 56
Using Compensation to subtract
Find 86 – 19 mentally.
86 – 19 = 67
Explain It
Question 1.
In the first example above, why is the answer 1 less than 57? In the second example above, why is the answer 1 more than 66?
Question 2.
The equation 0 + 7 = 7 is an example of the Identity Property of Addition. What is the sum when you add zero to any number?
What you think
The Commutative and Associative Properties make it easy to add 17 + 9 + 3.
17 and 3 are compatible numbers. These are numbers that are easy to compute mentally.
17 + 3 = 20
20 + 9= 29
So, 17 + 9 + 3 = 29
The total cost is $ 29.
Why it works
Commutative Property: change the order
17 + (9 + 3) = 17 + (3 + 9)
Associative Property: change the grouping
17 + (3 + 9) + (17 + 3) + 9
