About this printable
A short copywork page that states the commutative law and shows it working for both addition and multiplication. Students write the rule, then the worked examples, so the idea moves from the page into memory. Pairs neatly with the associative and distributive law sheets. 12 pages, 1/2-inch letters in manuscript print on dashed manuscript lines. Sheets included: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), First Letters Only.
ON THIS SHEET: Changing the order of the numbers does not change the answer. This works for addition and for multiplication, but not for subtraction or division. — Addition · a + b = b + a · 7 + 3 = 3 + 7 · 10 = 10 — Multiplication · a x b = b x a · 6 x 4 = 4 x 6 · 24 = 24 — LETTER SIZE: 1/2-inch. HANDWRITING: manuscript print. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), First Letters Only.
