Algebra Action Project-Inverse Property of Addition
For our freshman algebra class, we are working on an Action Project where we chose one of the properties of algebra. I chose the Inverse Property of Addition, which means that any number added to its opposite will equal zero. A negative version of the same number is the opposite of the positive version, and vice versa. For example, 5 + -5= 0 . Properties are rules/characteristics of numbers and math that help us understand concepts in math. For the artistic aspect of the Action Project, I chose to do simple images representing examples of the Inverse Property of Addition. I have two versions of a similar image that both represent an example of my property. In addition, I found another way to convey the definition of my property, and all of my work is shown here. These images relate to my chosen property because they both give a simple example of an equation that fits into the Inverse Property of Addition. A negative number added by the positive version of that same number will equal ...
