It's OK to sign it this way!

The signs ASSOCIATIVE, PROPERTY, APPLIES, TO, MULTIPLICATION(wrong sign choice), ADDITION(wrong sign choice), GROUP,SEVERAL(wrong movement in opposite direction), NUMBERS(    lack of plurality), ADDED, IN, ANY (movement should be downward not upward), VALUE(initialized sign from the sign WORTH), REAL(not SURE),()don't show how the variables are grouped, and didn't sign MULTIPLY in the (ab)c=a(bc)example, are conceptually incorrect.

**English word order does not help the students to visualize the setting and can cause confusion in their minds. If students can understand English print, they don't need the ASL. But, if they don't understand English print, using signed English will not help them understand the text any better.

associative property: This property applies both to multiplication and addition and states that you can group several numbers that are being added or multiplied (not both) in any way and yield the same value. In mathematical terms, for all real numbers a, b, and c, (a+b)+c=a+(b+c) or (ab)c=a(bc).
