Let's solve the Addition Properties worksheet step by step. The goal is to understand and apply basic addition properties, such as:

- Commutative Property: $ a + b = b + a $
- Associative Property: $ (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) $
- Identity Property: $ a + 0 = a $

Part 1: Write the missing number



We are given equations with missing numbers. We need to find the missing addend.

1. $ \boxed{6} + 0 = 6 $
→ Any number plus zero is itself. So, $ 6 + 0 = 6 $

2. $ 0 + \boxed{6} = 6 $
→ Same as above, $ 0 + 6 = 6 $

3. $ 11 + \boxed{7} = 17 $
→ $ 11 + ? = 17 $ → $ ? = 17 - 11 = 6 $? Wait — let’s double-check:
$ 11 + 6 = 17 $, so the missing number is 6, not 7.

But the equation says $ 11 + \boxed{?} = 17 $. So:
$ ? = 17 - 11 = 6 $

However, in the original problem, it says:
> $ 11 + \boxed{?} = 17 $

So fill in 6.

4. $ \boxed{11} + 10 = 11 $
→ This can't be right! $ 11 + 10 = 21 $, not 11.

Wait — look again:
> $ \boxed{?} + 10 = 11 $

So $ ? = 11 - 10 = 1 $

So correct answer is 1

5. $ 4 + \boxed{8} = 12 $
→ $ 4 + ? = 12 $ → $ ? = 8 $

6. $ \boxed{8} + 4 = 12 $
→ Commutative property: $ 8 + 4 = 12 $

7. $ 13 + \boxed{9} = 19 $
→ $ 13 + ? = 19 $ → $ ? = 6 $

Wait: $ 13 + 6 = 19 $, so missing number is 6

8. $ \boxed{13} + 11 = 19 $?
$ 13 + 11 = 24 $, not 19

The equation is: $ \boxed{?} + 11 = 19 $ → $ ? = 8 $

So missing number is 8

9. $ \boxed{3} + 3 = 6 $
→ $ 3 + 3 = 6 $

10. $ 3 + \boxed{3} = 6 $
→ Same as above, $ 3 + 3 = 6 $

So corrected answers for Part 1:

| Equation | Missing Number |
|--------|----------------|
| 6 + 0 = 6 | 6 |
| 0 + ? = 6 | 6 |
| 11 + ? = 17 | 6 |
| ? + 10 = 11 | 1 |
| 4 + ? = 12 | 8 |
| ? + 4 = 12 | 8 |
| 13 + ? = 19 | 6 |
| ? + 11 = 19 | 8 |
| 3 + 3 = 6 | 3 |
| 3 + ? = 6 | 3 |

Wait — there seems to be an error in the printed version. Let's recheck what's actually written.

Looking at your image (based on description), here are the actual equations:

1. $ \boxed{6} + 0 = 6 $ → already filled
2. $ 0 + \boxed{6} = 6 $ → filled
3. $ 11 + \boxed{?} = 17 $ → $ ? = 6 $
4. $ \boxed{?} + 10 = 11 $ → $ ? = 1 $
5. $ 4 + \boxed{?} = 12 $ → $ ? = 8 $
6. $ \boxed{?} + 4 = 12 $ → $ ? = 8 $
7. $ 13 + \boxed{?} = 19 $ → $ ? = 6 $
8. $ \boxed{?} + 11 = 19 $ → $ ? = 8 $
9. $ \boxed{3} + 3 = 6 $ → filled
10. $ 3 + \boxed{?} = 6 $ → $ ? = 3 $

All correct.

Part 2: Circle the addition fact that has the same sum



#### A. Sum of 2 + 3 = 5

Find which of the following equals 5:

- $ 1 + 4 = 5 $
- $ 4 + 2 = 6 $
- $ 3 + 2 = 5 $

But the options are:
> $ 1 + 4 $, $ 4 + 2 $, $ 3 + 2 $

So both $ 1 + 4 $ and $ 3 + 2 $ equal 5. But the instruction says “circle the addition fact” — singular.

Wait — maybe only one is expected?

But $ 2 + 3 = 5 $, and $ 1 + 4 = 5 $, $ 3 + 2 = 5 $

So both $ 1 + 4 $ and $ 3 + 2 $ have the same sum.

But perhaps we're to pick one.

Wait — check the next ones.

#### B. Sum of 3 + 8 = 11

Which of these equals 11?

- $ 8 + 5 = 13 $
- $ 6 + 6 = 12 $
- $ 5 + 9 = 14 $

None equal 11?

Wait: $ 3 + 8 = 11 $

Check the options:

- $ 8 + 5 = 13 $
- $ 6 + 6 = 12 $
- $ 5 + 9 = 14 $

None equal 11. That can’t be.

Wait — maybe typo?

Perhaps the question is: "Circle the addition fact that has the same sum as 3 + 8"

But none of the listed facts equal 11.

Unless...

Wait — maybe the options are:

> $ 8 + 5 $, $ 6 + 6 $, $ 5 + 9 $

All are wrong.

But $ 3 + 8 = 11 $, and no option adds to 11.

Wait — perhaps the intended answer is none, but that’s odd.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is misprinted.

Wait — let's look at the image again.

Actually, in the original worksheet:

> Circle the addition fact that has the same sum as 3 + 8.

Then:
- $ 8 + 5 = 13 $
- $ 6 + 6 = 12 $
- $ 5 + 9 = 14 $

None equal 11.

But wait — $ 3 + 8 = 11 $, so we need a pair that also sums to 11.

But none do.

Is there a typo?

Possibility: Maybe it's supposed to be 3 + 5 = 8, then circle something with sum 8?

But no.

Alternatively, perhaps the options are different.

Wait — maybe the options are:

> $ 8 + 5 $, $ 6 + 6 $, $ 5 + 9 $

Still all greater than 11.

Wait — unless $ 3 + 8 = 11 $, and we’re to find another fact that also sums to 11.

But none of the choices do.

This suggests a possible error in the worksheet.

But let’s assume the numbers are correct.

Wait — could it be that $ 8 + 5 = 13 $, $ 6 + 6 = 12 $, $ 5 + 9 = 14 $ — all wrong.

But maybe the intended answer is none, but that’s unlikely.

Wait — perhaps I misread.

Wait — look at the next section:

> Circle the addition fact that has the same sum as 1 + 7.

So $ 1 + 7 = 8 $

Options:
- $ 8 + 2 = 10 $
- $ 2 + 5 = 7 $
- $ 7 + 1 = 8 $

So $ 7 + 1 = 8 $, same as $ 1 + 7 $

So circle $ 7 + 1 $

Now back to $ 3 + 8 = 11 $

Options:
- $ 8 + 5 = 13 $
- $ 6 + 6 = 12 $
- $ 5 + 9 = 14 $

None equal 11.

But $ 3 + 8 = 11 $, and none of the choices sum to 11.

Wait — is it possible that $ 5 + 6 = 11 $? But it's not listed.

Maybe the options are:

> $ 8 + 5 $, $ 6 + 6 $, $ 5 + 9 $

Still no.

Wait — could the question be "has the same sum as 3 + 8", and one of them is $ 8 + 3 $? But it's not listed.

Only $ 8 + 5 $, etc.

So this seems like a mistake.

But perhaps the intended answer is $ 8 + 5 $? No — 13 ≠ 11.

Wait — unless it's $ 3 + 8 = 11 $, and the options include $ 5 + 6 $, but it doesn't.

Alternatively, maybe the sum is 8, not 11?

No.

Wait — let's skip and go to the next.

---

#### C. Sum of 1 + 7 = 8

Options:
- $ 8 + 2 = 10 $
- $ 2 + 5 = 7 $
- $ 7 + 1 = 8 $

So circle $ 7 + 1 $

✔️ Correct.

---

#### D. Sum of 10 + 6 = 16

Options:
- $ 7 + 8 = 15 $
- $ 8 + 9 = 17 $
- $ 6 + 10 = 16 $

So $ 6 + 10 = 16 $, same as $ 10 + 6 $

So circle $ 6 + 10 $

✔️ Correct.

---

#### E. Sum of 4 + 2 = 6

Options:
- $ 1 + 6 = 7 $
- $ 2 + 4 = 6 $
- $ 3 + 2 = 5 $

So $ 2 + 4 = 6 $, same as $ 4 + 2 $

So circle $ 2 + 4 $

✔️ Correct.

---

#### F. Sum of 9 + 5 = 14

Options:
- $ 5 + 9 = 14 $
- $ 7 + 6 = 13 $
- $ 10 + 5 = 15 $

So $ 5 + 9 = 14 $, same as $ 9 + 5 $

So circle $ 5 + 9 $

✔️ Correct.

---

Now back to the problematic one: Sum of 3 + 8 = 11



Options:
- $ 8 + 5 = 13 $
- $ 6 + 6 = 12 $
- $ 5 + 9 = 14 $

None equal 11.

But wait — is it possible that the question meant 3 + 5 = 8, or is there a typo?

Alternatively, perhaps the options are:

> $ 8 + 5 $, $ 6 + 6 $, $ 5 + 9 $

And the answer is none, but that’s not standard.

Wait — maybe it's $ 3 + 8 = 11 $, and the correct choice is $ 5 + 6 = 11 $, but it's not listed.

But in the image, it's clearly:

> $ 8 + 5 $, $ 6 + 6 $, $ 5 + 9 $

So all are incorrect.

This appears to be a mistake in the worksheet.

But let’s consider: Could it be that the question is "same sum as 3 + 8", and the answer is none?

But that’s not typical for such worksheets.

Alternatively, maybe the intended sum was 3 + 5 = 8, and the options were meant to be different.

But based on what's written, there is no correct answer among the choices.

But let’s double-check the original image.

Wait — perhaps I misread the options.

Let me re-express the section:

> Circle the addition fact that has the same sum as 3 + 8.
>
> $ 8 + 5 $
> $ 6 + 6 $
> $ 5 + 9 $

All are:
- $ 8 + 5 = 13 $
- $ 6 + 6 = 12 $
- $ 5 + 9 = 14 $

While $ 3 + 8 = 11 $

So none match.

Conclusion: This is likely a typo in the worksheet.

Possible fixes:
- Change $ 3 + 8 $ to $ 3 + 5 = 8 $, then $ 5 + 3 $ would be the answer.
- Or change $ 8 + 5 $ to $ 8 + 3 $, then $ 8 + 3 = 11 $, same as $ 3 + 8 $

But as it stands, no option matches.

Final Answers



#### Part 1: Fill in the blanks

| Equation | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| 6 + 0 = 6 | 6 |
| 0 + ? = 6 | 6 |
| 11 + ? = 17 | 6 |
| ? + 10 = 11 | 1 |
| 4 + ? = 12 | 8 |
| ? + 4 = 12 | 8 |
| 13 + ? = 19 | 6 |
| ? + 11 = 19 | 8 |
| 3 + 3 = 6 | 3 |
| 3 + ? = 6 | 3 |

#### Part 2: Circle the matching sum

A. $ 2 + 3 = 5 $ → Circle $ 1 + 4 $ or $ 3 + 2 $ — but since only one to choose, likely $ 1 + 4 $ or $ 3 + 2 $ — both are correct, but probably $ 1 + 4 $ is intended.

Wait — but $ 1 + 4 = 5 $, yes.

But $ 3 + 2 = 5 $, also yes.

But the options are:

- $ 1 + 4 $
- $ 4 + 2 $
- $ 3 + 2 $

So $ 1 + 4 = 5 $, $ 3 + 2 = 5 $, $ 4 + 2 = 6 $

So circle $ 1 + 4 $ and $ 3 + 2 $ — but if only one, perhaps $ 1 + 4 $

But the instruction says “circle the addition fact”, singular.

So likely $ 1 + 4 $ is expected.

But $ 3 + 2 $ is also correct.

However, $ 3 + 2 $ is commutative of $ 2 + 3 $, so both are valid.

But let’s see the rest.

B. $ 3 + 8 = 11 $ → None of the options sum to 11. Error in worksheet.

C. $ 1 + 7 = 8 $ → Circle $ 7 + 1 $

D. $ 10 + 6 = 16 $ → Circle $ 6 + 10 $

E. $ 4 + 2 = 6 $ → Circle $ 2 + 4 $

F. $ 9 + 5 = 14 $ → Circle $ 5 + 9 $

---

Final Answer Summary:



#### Part 1:
Fill in:
- 6, 6, 6, 1, 8, 8, 6, 8, 3, 3

#### Part 2:
- A. Circle $ 1 + 4 $ or $ 3 + 2 $ → $ 1 + 4 $ (or both)
- B. No correct answer — likely typo
- C. Circle $ 7 + 1 $
- D. Circle $ 6 + 10 $
- E. Circle $ 2 + 4 $
- F. Circle $ 5 + 9 $

---

Recommendation:


The worksheet has a typo in Part 2B. It should either:
- Change $ 3 + 8 $ to $ 3 + 5 $, or
- Change one of the options to $ 8 + 3 $ or $ 5 + 6 $, or
- Replace $ 8 + 5 $ with $ 8 + 3 $

Otherwise, no correct choice exists.

For now, assuming the others are correct, the student should circle:
- A: $ 1 + 4 $
- B: No valid choice
- C: $ 7 + 1 $
- D: $ 6 + 10 $
- E: $ 2 + 4 $
- F: $ 5 + 9 $

But for B, it may be a mistake.

If you have access to the original image, please verify the numbers.

Otherwise, the rest are correct.

Final Answer:

Part 1:
6, 6, 6, 1, 8, 8, 6, 8, 3, 3

Part 2:
- A: $ 1 + 4 $ or $ 3 + 2 $
- B: No match (likely error)
- C: $ 7 + 1 $
- D: $ 6 + 10 $
- E: $ 2 + 4 $
- F: $ 5 + 9 $
