Addition is bringing two or more numbers (or things) together to make a new total.
Here 1 ball is added to 1 ball to make 2 balls: | ![]() | |
Using Numbers it is: | 1 + 1 = 2 | |
And in words it is: | "One plus one equals two" |
Example: If you add 2 and 3 you get 5. You would write it like this: 2 + 3 = 5

Write this down, with the answer, using numbers:Swapping Places
Swapping the position of the numbers you are adding still gets the same result!3 + 2 = 5 | ![]() |
... also ... | |
2 + 3 = 5 | ![]() |
More Examples:
5 + 1 = 1 + 5 = 6
7 + 11 = 11 + 7 = 18
4 + 100 = 100 + 4 = 104
