| Santa Clarita Christian girls' basketball coach Tracy Scott is hoping the commutative property of mathematics applies outside of the classroom and on the playing surfaces where Santa Clarita Christian's athletes are. They had been introduced to the conventions related to the order of operations, to the role of brackets and to the possibilities of "removing" and "inserting" brackets with and without changing the numerical expressions, such as the commutative, associative and distributive laws, and had manipulated numerical expressions using their newly acquired knowledge. For example, if you are practicing the commutative property of addition, suggest that the parent place 5 objects in one hand and 7 in the other, then put them together to get 12. |
