1.9 Number Line Addition
Any Order Any Grouping (AOAG)
 Easy way to remember Commutative Property and
Associative property
 Basically what it says is that when adding or multiplying we
can multiply by grouping or ordering the terms in any
manner we please
5+4=4+5
 4 + (3 + 5) = (4 + 3) + 5
54=45
 5  (3  4) = (5  3)  4

 Is there another way we can represent this addition?
 What if we started the arrow for 3.5 at 0?

 What is different about the arrow for positive and negative numbers?
 Are there any numbers we cannot represent in this way?
 Why does addition with negative numbers use arrows going left?
 How does addition with arrows represent the AOAG properties?
 Select different numbers; do the AOAG with those numbers as well?
 What about -3 and -5.5?
 How can you represent 0 as an arrow?
