Example: 7 + 9 = 9 + 7
Practice multiplying different pairs of numbers and observe how the order of the numbers does not affect the product.
Example: 3 * 6 = 6 * 3
Understanding the commutative property is critical for developing a strong foundation in mathematics and forms the basis for more advanced concepts in algebra and beyond.
