Question 909618: How do I explain how I can use the Commutative and associative properties to add 19+28+81 mentally?

You could group them this way:
(19+81=100)+28 = 128 (associative)
or
81+19+28 = 1+9+8, carry the 1 mentally, 1+8+1+2 = 12. 12x + 8 = 128 (commutative)

The grouping is easier in this case.
