  1. Commutative Property
    There are two students coming into Mr. Jobe’s math class. A class comes in first and then B class comes in. They drank some water from water fountain and came back in order of b comes first and then a sill, they are having Mr. Jobe’s math class with same classmate.

    Associative Property
    When you are in the cafeteria, you get drink and then food but you ca get food and then drink. Same thing!

    Inverse property of addition
    Andy have a marker and board eraser. Andy write something on the board then you erase it.

    Identity property of addition
    You have some money in the ID card she buys her lunch and she needs to buy her mother lunch. She needs more money but her mother doesn’t give her more money. Therefore, it is the same amount of money in her ID card.


    Identity property of multiplication
    Andy is collecting money to go to field trip but there is only one person collecting the money. Therefore, there is the same amount of field trip money.


    Multiplication property of zero
    There are 7 people going to the field trip. They need to get ticket to go in to the field trip. Each cost 5,000 won. However, 7 people didn’t come to the field trip. Therefore, no money.

    Commutative Property
    There are two cups of paint. They are red and blue. If you mix them together in the order of red + blue, they turn purple. Even if you change the order to blue + red, they still turn out to be purple.

    Associative Property
    There are 3 happy birds. There is the Mama bird, the Dada bird, and the baby bird. They are about to take a picture and the Mama bird or the Dada bird has to hold the baby. At first, the Mama bird holds the baby bird which is (Mama + baby) + Dada = a picture! And even if the Dada bird holds the baby which is (Dada + baby) + Mama, it still equals a beautiful picture!

    Inverse Property of Addition
    Lynn and Liz are putting a puzzle together. When they were almost done, they noticed that one piece is missing. This equals -1. But when you add 1 or find the piece, the puzzle is perfectly put together. If this was in an equation, it would be -1 + 1= perfect puzzle.

    Identity Property of Addition
    There was one cookie on the table. Sean hoped that there would be another cookie in the jar by tomorrow but there wasn’t. This would be One cookie + No cookie = One cookie or 1 + 0= 1

    Identity Property of Multiplication
    There was only one apple in the stupid apple tree. The apple was so lonely that the apple tree thought he should duplicated the apple by one. But the apple tree is so stupid that he didn’t know that there would still be only one apple in the tree. This equals One apple x 1 = One lonely apple or it could be 1 x 1 = 1

    Multiplication Property of Zero
    There were 11 ripe pears in the tree. But they were multiplied by zero and all disappeared! This equals 11 x 0 = 0 pears. The farmer was devastated. :(

  3. Commutative Property

    A person decides to give some of his money to his friend. He thinks of giving $5 then give $3 later. That is a total of $8. If he changes the order he still gives a total of $8.

    Associative Property

    There are 7 students in the class. And 4 of them in in a group and 3 of them is in a group. If one student in the group of 4 goes to the group of 3, there are still 7 students in the class.

    Inverse Property of Addition

    A student was trying to earn money by selling cookies. Later on he used $17 for the cookies. But in the end he only earned $17 by selling cookies. Then he did the math, he spent $17 on making the cookies but he only earned $17, so he was back to the original amount of money. He was disappointed that he had earned nothing.

    Identity property of addition

    A man had 5 sharks as pets at home. He thought that his sharks were lonely so the man went to the sea to hunt for more. but in the end he did not catch any sharks. When the man went home there were still 5 sharks.

    Identity property of Multiplication

    A man went into the pet shop and bought one great white shark, a tiger shark, and a whale shark. The man wanted to know how much sharks he had. He knew that he had one white shark, one tiger shark, one whale shark. The man then knew that he had one of each kind so he multiplied them by 1. There were 3 shark and the man multiplied them by 1. So the man had 3 sharks.

    Multiplication Property of zero

    A student was solving a really challenging multiplication problem. He spent hours on a calculator trying to solve it. But unfortunately he multiplied by 0. So now he has to start all over again from 0.

    Your Associative Property example does not represent the Associative Property because the order changes (it would be good for the Commutative Property). I like your Multiplication Property of Zero example with the field trip tickets!

    Elizabeth & Sean
    How were the pears multiplied by zero? What happened to them? I really love your Commutative and Associative Property examples. Very creative! The puzzle example with the Inverse Property of Addition was very good too!

  5. Sorry for the lateness!!!!!!!!

    Commutative Property
    There were Lynn Liz and June in the cafeteria line. Lynn was at the first, second was June and third was Liz. Liz asked June whether she could change spot with June. June accepted because they were friends and it didn’t matter because Lynn and Liz was going to wait for her anyways.

    Associative Property
    In the math class there were 11 students. They had to make 3 groups which were 4students, 4students and 3students. One of the groups had to start the presentation first. But no one wanted to participate. So Mr. Jobe said it doesn’t matter who goes first and who goes last. Its that all 11 students will do the presentation.

    Inverse property of addition
    Me and my brother had a race. If I run 100m, my brother caught me up and we were same speed every time. So the difference was 0m.

    Identity property of addition
    One couple once needed a money to buy our couple t-shirt. But no one gave them one so they had the same exact amount they had at last.


    Identity property of multiplication
    There once was a kind and rich guy in the town. He wanted to give out moneys to the poor. So he counted everyone times 1 so he eventually gave one people the money.


    Multiplication property of zero
    There once was a guy who really wanted to buy Dr. Dre headphone. So, he earned a lot of money to buy that. But as he was so dumb, he accidentally press his earned money times 0 and he pressed continue. So his bank got $0 in it so his mom was really mad at him.

    Associative Property

    I got 3 candies from my teacher, 2 from my neighbors, and 5 from other people. My brother got only got 3 from his teacher, and 2 from other people, so I laughed at him. But he got 5 more candies later on from our neighbors and we ended up having the same amount of candy in total.

    Commutative Property:

    Yesterday, my mom earned 5 dollars at work, and my dad also earned 5 dollars but got 3 dollars for a bonus. Today, my mom earned 5 dollars and a 3 dollar bonus, and my dad only earned 5 dollars. Even though the amount of money my parents earned in a day changed, our family still earned the same amount in total for the two days.

    Multiplication Property of zero:
    I filled the paper cup with 50 milliliters of water. The wind came and tipped the cup over. Now there is no water in the cup.

    Identity Property of Addition

    Lisa was very thirsty after cross country. She walked forward to the water fountain, pressed the blue button and put her mouth close to the spout. Uh oh. Water wouldn’t come out. So she is still thirsty :(

    Inverse Property of Addition

    Becky was the tallest and the riches girl in the whole math class and also, the smartest. So, her parents gave her 10,000 won. Although, she was very hungry after math class so she went out to buy some cup noodles called 10,000 ramen. After she came out of the market, she noticed that she waited 10,000won just for buying a small cup noodle. Now, she had 0 won.

    Identity property of Multiplication

    There were fifty dogs in the dog rescue centre. The dogs were waiting for somebody to adopt them but for 365days, nobody did. For a year, they were still the same fifty dogs.

  7. Lynn - 4 days late = 4 points off
    Your Associative Property example is more of a Commutative Property example. Also, your Multiplication of Zero example does not make sense. How did he multiply his account by zero?

    Yewon and Lisa
    The grouping doesn't change in your Associative Property example. I really like your Multiplication Property of Zero example with the wind and the Identity Property of Addition example with the water fountain! Very creative!
