About this resource

What's inside this resource

This activity is a great way for students to learn and practice the commutative property of addition with addition problems involving two-digit numbers. It is a fun and engaging activity that will help students understand this important math concept.

This is a Commutative Property of Addition Activity that is geared toward lower elementary students in kindergarten and 1st grade.

This is a 6-page printable that can be printed in color.

The teacher or the students will cut out all activity cards. Students will use commutative properties of addition to match the popcorn cards to the matching popcorn container. There are 2 problems printed per page, with a total of 8 problems.

You can laminate these cards for durability and repeated use after you print them. You may even choose to attach Velcro dots for more interactive matching.

At the end, there is an activity worksheet that can be printed and used to understand commutative properties of addition.
