Some axioms that are especially important for teaching math skills to students with learning problems are: Axiom: A proposal that is assumed without proof for the sake of studying the consequences that follows from it.
 * commutative property of addition-no matter what order that same numbers are combined in, the sum remains constant — a+b=b+a
 * commutative property of multiplication-regardless of the order of the numbers being multiplied the product remains constant--- a x b=b x a
 * associative property of addition and multiplication-regardless of grouping arrangements, the sum or product is unchanged---add: (a +b) + c=a+(b+c) multiply: (a x b) x c=a x (b x c)
 * distributive property of multiplication over addition-This rule relates the two operations---(a(b +c)=(a x b) + (a x c))
 * inverse operations for addition and multiplication-these axioms relate operations that are opposite in their effects---add/sub: a+b=c, c-a=b, c-b=a Mult/Div: a x b=c, c/a=b, c/b=a
