Commutative Property
The commuting distance is the same in either direction, from home to work or work to home.
The Commutative Property tells us that:
a + b = b + a or a × b = b × a
Associative Property
To associate with people is to group up with them.
The Associative Property are about grouping:
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c), or (a × b) × c = a × (b × c)
Distributive Property
To distribute something is to give it to everyone.
The Distributive Property “gives” whatever’s outside the parentheses to everything inside: a (b + c)=ab + ac
Multiplying Integers
From friendship: friend = pos (+), enemy = neg(-)
My friend's friend is my friend (pos × pos = pos)
My friend's enemy is my enemy (pos × neg = neg)
My enemy's friend is my enemy (neg × pos = neg)
My enemy's enemy is my friend (neg× neg = pos)
Angles - Complementary, Supplementary
Complementary = Corner (90 degree)
Supplementary = Straight Line (180 degree)
