Modeling the Commutative Property of Addition With Pictures #1

Learn about the commutative property with this beach-themed worksheet! These three problems present learners with addition equations that demonstrate the commutative property. The addends in these equations are represented by pictures. Learners will be tasked with writing the numerals in the equation based on the pictures, then simplifying the equation by adding both sides. 

This worksheet is a fun way to introduce first graders to the commutative property of addition. The pictures can help students better visualize the commutative property, and finding the sum of each side of the equations allows students to demonstrate the commutative property themselves!
