Study Notes
Addition
- Definition: Combining two or more numbers to get a total.
- Notation: Represented by the symbol
+. - Properties:
- Commutative Property: a + b = b + a (order does not matter).
- Associative Property: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) (grouping does not matter).
- Identity Property: a + 0 = a (adding zero does not change the number).
- Example:
- 3 + 5 = 8
- 2 + (4 + 6) = 2 + 10 = 12
Subtraction
- Definition: Taking one number away from another.
- Notation: Represented by the symbol
-. - Properties:
- Not Commutative: a - b ≠b - a (order matters).
- Not Associative: (a - b) - c ≠a - (b - c) (grouping matters).
- Identity Property: a - 0 = a (subtracting zero does not change the number).
- Example:
- 8 - 3 = 5
- 10 - (4 - 2) = 10 - 2 = 8
Key Differences
- Operation:
- Addition combines values.
- Subtraction removes values.
- Result:
- Addition results in a larger or equal number.
- Subtraction results in a smaller or equal number.
Addition
- Definition: The process of combining two or more numbers to yield a total.
- Symbol: Represented by the
+sign. - Commutative Property: The order of numbers does not affect the sum; e.g., a + b = b + a.
- Associative Property: The way numbers are grouped does not change the sum; e.g., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c).
- Identity Property: Adding zero to a number leaves it unchanged; e.g., a + 0 = a.
- Examples:
- Simple addition: 3 + 5 = 8.
- Grouping example: 2 + (4 + 6) simplifies to 2 + 10 = 12.
Subtraction

- Symbol: Represented by the
-sign. - Non-Commutative: The order of numbers matters; a - b ≠b - a.
- Non-Associative: The way numbers are grouped affects the result; (a - b) - c ≠a - (b - c).
- Identity Property: Subtracting zero from a number does not change it; e.g., a - 0 = a.
- Examples:
- Simple subtraction: 8 - 3 = 5.
- Grouping example: 10 - (4 - 2) simplifies to 10 - 2 = 8.
Key Differences
- Operation Nature:
- Addition is a process of combining values.
- Subtraction is a process of removing values.
- Result Implications:
- Addition generally yields a larger or equal result.
- Subtraction results in a smaller or equal outcome.
