Commutative Property Project

        In Algebra, we discussed the various properties of math. To demonstrate what we had learned, everyone in the class chose a property to make an art piece on. I chose the commutative property of multiplication.

        I chose the commutative property of multiplication to make an example of for this project. I prepared and photographed both avocado toast and matcha two separate times, however I changed the preparation order of the ingredients to represent how like a problem with the commutative property, regardless of order of the digits or ingredients, the same final result is found. For the first piece of toast, I put the bread in the toaster, sliced the avocado, removed the bread, and arranged it, whereas for the other I sliced the avocado, put the bread in the toaster, waited for it to toast, then removed it and arranged it. Although the second one took longer,  it tasted the same. For the tea, I steamed the milk then made the tea and poured, and I switched the order for the second one, but it tasted the same.





 For my second piece of art, I recorded video of me making cookies, but switched the order of making the wet and dry ingredients order to show that regardless of order of the numbers (or in this example, ingredients) the end result is still the same. The second half is shorter, as my phone ran out of battery in the middle of filming, however, images of both batches of the final product are below. Again, even though I changed the order in which I completed all of the steps, I used the same numbers/ingredients, and found the same result.
