Master the Commutative (moving around) and Associative (grouping) Laws! This video explains how you can reorder numbers (commutation) or shift brackets (association) when performing addition or multiplication without changing the final answer. Crucially, we demonstrate why these laws DO NOT apply to subtraction and division, using clear examples like why 4 /1 is not equal to 1/4. Understanding these properties is vital for simplifying expressions and proofs in CAPS, IEB, and IGCSE mathematics
