While bird watching, Gabrielle saw 6 robins and 3 blue jays. Chase saw 3 robins and 6 blue jays. Who saw more birds?

Explain which property you used.

They each saw the same number of birds 6 + 3 = 3 + 6, which is an illustration of the commutative property.

they saw the same amount of birds. I used addition to solve this. 6+3=9 and 3+6=9.

Gabrielle and Chase both saw 9 birds each, so neither saw more birds. This situation illustrates the commutative property of addition. Therefore, they saw the same number of birds.
