Addition

bringing two or more numbers (or things) together to make a new total.

Example: When we add 2 and 3 we get 5.
We can write it like this: 2 + 3 = 5

Try it
Write this down, with the answer, using numerals: You should get:   4 + 3 = 7

Swapping Places
Swapping the position of the numbers we are adding still gets the same result! More Examples:

5 + 1 = 1 + 5 = 6

7 + 11 = 11 + 7 = 18

4 + 100 = 100 + 4 = 104

== Addition Table == We can also "look up" answers for simple addition using the Addition Table (but it is really best to learn to remember the answers).

Example: Find 3 + 5
• find the row starting with "3"

• move along to be under the column "5"

• and there is the number "8", so 3 + 5 = 8
