Addition means putting two groups together to find the total.
When we ADD, we put two groups together to find how many there are in all. The + sign means "put together" and the = sign means "is the same as."
Putting groups together:
3 apples PLUS 2 more apples = 5 apples in total!
2 ducks are swimming. đĻđĻ 3 more ducks join them. đĻđĻđĻ 2 + 3 = 5 Now there are 5 ducks!
How to add:
Lisa has 4 đĒ cookies. Mom gives her 2 more đĒ. How many does she have now?
Remember This!
Use your fingers to add! Hold up 4 fingers, then 2 more. Count ALL of them together â that is your answer!
