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
54=45
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?

Homework
How can we use the number line to model AOAG properties?
How is adding using the number line similar to and different from adding
using the addition table?
