Adding numbers is like putting things together to find out how many there are in total. Imagine you have some colorful candies, and you want to know how many you have when you combine them. That’s when addition comes into play!
In this lesson, we’ll start with simple numbers. Let’s say you have 3 candies, and your friend gives you 2 more. To find out how many candies you have now, you add the numbers: 3 + 2 = 5. So, you have 5 candies in total!
We use the plus sign (+) to show we’re adding, and the equals sign (=) to show the answer. It’s like a math recipe!
You can add anything using this method. If you have 4 toys and your brother gives you 3 more, you add 4 + 3 to get 7 toys.
Adding is like counting but faster. It helps us find the total when we put things together. As you learn more about adding, you can add bigger numbers and even solve real-world problems! So, remember, addition is a fun way to figure out how many things you have when you join them together.
