There are four basic operations in mathematics. The addition is the first of them. The addition of two or more numbers is the total amount of all those values combined. The addition is written using a plus (+) sign. The result is expressed with an equal to (=) sign. The answer that we get in addition is called the Sum or Total. The numbers that are added are called the Addends.
Refer to Fig. 1 below for proper understanding. So addition is a process to find the total sum by combining two numbers.
How to Understand that Addition has to be Performed?
There are various keywords in word problems that indicates that addition has to be performed. Few of those keywords are:
Total; Sum; Altogether; Increase; Combine; Add; Join; In All, Both;
However always try to find out the exact meaning of the problem first.
Fig. 1: Addition of Two Numbers
Remember,
a) When Zero is added to a number, the sum is that number itself. For Example, 3+0=3
b) Changing the order of addends does not affect the result. For example, 1+2+3=3+2+1=1+3+2=2+1+3=6, The total sum always remains the same as 6
c) When 1, 10, 100, or 1000 added to a number increases the value of the digit at the Ones, Tens, Hundreds or Thousands place by 1 respectively.
In this worksheet, we will solve the addition of numbers having five or more digits. At the end of the article, the option for printing or making pdf is provided.
