CUMMUTATIVE PROPERTY
7 + 4 or 4 + 7?Each will add up to 11.
5 + 4 will equal 9.So will 4 + 5. That’s fine.
Both 2 + 6 and 6 + 2
Will equal 8. It’s always true.

When adding numbers I have found
They can commute, or move around.

(Shh, here’s a secret. It’s a fact.
This doesn’t work when you subtract.)

Thought for budding poets and mathematicians:A mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a complete mathematician. Karl Wilhem Theodor Weirestrass (1815-1897) ‘The father of modern analysis’.
