Match the Associative Property for Addition

Bolster your knowledge of the associative property of addition in this charming worksheet! Students will be presented with two columns of six addition equations. They’ll need to match up pairs of equations that show the associative property, then find the sum of each equation. 

This worksheet was designed to give first, second, and third graders practice with the associative property of addition. Learners can work on their addition fact fluency while also demonstrating that no matter which way the addends in an addition equation are grouped together, the sum is the same. As students improve their understanding of the properties of addition, they can build a strong foundation in algebraic thinking.
