What this lesson teaches
Addition is the mathematical process of combining two or more numbers together to find their total count. This operation is represented using the plus symbol.
What addition is
When two quantities are brought together, the action of finding their combined count is called addition. This operation is written using the plus symbol between the two numbers. Counting every item one by one across both groups reveals the total number of items present.
Breakfast calculation
- A meal pack contains 4 bananas and 3 apples.
- Finding the total number of fruits involves calculating 4 plus 3.
- Counting each fruit in order proceeds through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
- Adding 4 bananas to 3 apples gives a total of 7 fruits.
Lunch calculation
- The food packed for lunch consists of 3 bananas and 4 oranges.
- Adding these two sets of fruits together gives the total lunch count.
- Counting the fruits one after another proceeds through 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
- Combining 3 bananas and 4 oranges results in 7 fruits.
Dinner calculation
- A dinner portion contains 10 grapes and 5 pomegranates.
- Finding the total quantity of fruits packed for dinner requires adding 10 and 5 together.
- The calculation involves counting the 10 grapes plus the 5 pomegranates to reach the final total.
