Addition is bringing two or more numbers (or things) together to make a new total.
Example:
There are 7 oranges in one basket and 4 oranges in the other. How many oranges are there in all?
To find the total number of oranges, we should add 7 and 4.
To add 7 and 4, we can count forward 4 steps from 7.
The symbol used to indicate Addition is + (plus symbol).
So, 7 and 4 can be written as 7 + 4
Therefore, there are 11 oranges in total.
Vertical Addition
Numbers can also be added vertically.
Let’s add 57 and 16 vertically.
The numbers with more than 2 digits can also be added vertically. We always start adding from the ones digit and move towards the digits at the highest place.
