Identity Property with Examples
Key Concepts:
- Understanding the Addition properties
- Associative property
- Commutative property
- Additive identity
Identity Property
Identity Property: The sum of zero and any other number is the number itself.
For example,
5 + 0 = 5
Example:1
There are 5 kids in a team. No other kid joined the team till the end of the game. How many kids were in the game?
As no one joined the game, this means there was no change in the number of kids.
5 kids + 0 kids = 5 kids
Example: 2
A flock of 12 birds sat over the branch of a tree. No more birds joined them. How many birds are sitting on the branch of the tree?
As no bird joined the flock, the number of birds remains the same, i.e.,12.
This can be written in a mathematical expression as:
12 birds + 0 birds = 12 birds
Commutative Property:
When two numbers are added together, the order of addends does not affect the sum or result. For example, 8 + 4 = 4 + 8.
Example1:
Exercise:
1. Prove that a + b = b + a, if a = 10 and b = 9.
2. Complete the addition
(i) 365 + 0 =?
(ii) 0 + 1350 =?
(iii) 1578 +? = 1578
(iv) ? + 1478 = 1478
3. Match the following
| Column A | Column B |
| 1. Commutative property | a. (a × b) × c = a × (b × c) |
| 2. Associative Property | b. a (b + c) = ab + ac |
| 3. Identity for multiplication | c. a + b = b + a |
| 4. Distributive Property | d. a × 1 = a |
4. What is the additive identity of x?
5. If a + 0 = -11, then what is the value of a?
6. Name the property indicated in the following
5+0=0+5=5
7. A flower is hidden behind an integer which is at a position 7 less than the spot where the butterfly is placed. Can you find the integer?
8. Add the following
a)17 + 5 + 3 = (17 + 3) + 5
b) 7 + (3 + 4) = (7 + 3) + 4
9. What is the missing number?
5745 + (3856 + 7464) = ( + 3856) + 7464
10. Fill in the blanks
(i) 64 + 53 = ? + 64
(ii) 365 + 427 = ? + 365
(iii) ? + 261 = 261 + 170
(iv) 765 + ? = 188 + 765
