Addition

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

Try It

Write this down, with the answer, using numbers:

You should get:   4 + 3 = 7  

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
