Addition

What is Addition?

 

Addition is a process that we use to find the result of adding numbers together, for example:   12 plus 33 equals 45

In mathematics we usually use symbols instead of words though, for additon sums you need to know that:

the symbol for plus is  +                 and               the symbol for equals is   =

so the above sum would change to be:   12+33=45

 

On paper it is easier to solve these sums if you write them out in a different way:

   12
+ 33
--------
    45
