Addition has three properties. These properties are commutative property of addition, associative property of addition, and identity property of addition.
Associative property of addition is the property where the grouping of addends can be changed resulting to the same sum.
(a + b) + c = a + (b +c)
Example: a = 1; b = 2; c = 3
1 + 2 + 3 = 6
(1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3)
3 + 3 = 1 + 5
6 = 6
