It is one of the basic building blocks of
arithmetic, essential for everyday
calculations. Understanding addition
allows us to solve problems efficiently
and accurately.
Definition of Addition

Addition means combining two or more numbers to get a


total. For example, if we have 2 apples and we add 3
more apples, we have a total of 5 apples. This process
can be visualized using objects or numbers to make it
easier to understand.
Parts of an Addition
Problem
1. The numbers being added are called
addends.

2. The result of the addition is known as the


sum.

3. For example, in 2 + 3 = 5, both 2 and 3 are


addends, and 5 is the sum.
Basic Addition Facts

1. 1 + 1 = 2 is the simplest form of addition.

2. 2 + 2 = 4 demonstrates how numbers can


increase.

3. 3 + 4 = 7 shows that combining different


numbers can result in various sums.
Applying Addition in
Practical Situations

Addition is not just a concept used in


math class; it is a skill we use in
everyday life. Whether counting items,
adding up totals when shopping, or
figuring out how many friends are
coming to a party, addition helps us
make sense of the world. Learning to
apply addition in practical situations
builds confidence and real-world
problem-solving skills.
