Title: Commutative and Associative Properties of Addition
URL: https://aptv.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/mgbh.math.nf.commprop/commutative-and-associative-properties-of-addition/
Description:

Generate equivalent expressions using two additive properties. This video focuses on using the associative and commutative properties of addition to combine like terms, simplify expressions, and create equivalent expressions.

This video was submitted through the Innovation Math Challenge, a contest open to professional and nonprofessional producers and is part of the Math at the Core: Middle School collection.

Title: Grade 6 Mathematics Module 4, Topic C: Replacing Letters and Numbers
URL: https://www.engageny.org/resource/grade-6-mathematics-module-4-topic-c-overview
Description:

Students represent letters with numbers and numbers with letters in Module 4, Topic C. In past grades, students discovered properties of operations through example (1.OA.B.3, 3.OA.B.5). Now, they use letters to represent numbers in order to write the properties precisely. Students realize that nothing has changed because the properties still remain statements about numbers. They are not properties of letters, nor are they new rules introduced for the first time. Now, students can extend arithmetic properties from manipulating numbers to manipulating expressions.  In particular, they develop the following identities: a times b = b times a, a + b = b + a, g times 1 = g, g + 0 = g, g divided by 1 = g, g divided by g = 1, and 1 divided by g = 1/g.  Students understand that a letter in an expression represents a number. When that number replaces that letter, the expression can be evaluated to one number. Similarly, they understand that a letter in an expression can represent a number. When that number is replaced by a letter, an expression is stated (6.EE.A.2).
