What is Addition?

Addition is combining two or more numbers to find a total. It's one of the four basic operations in mathematics.

Why is it important?

Addition is used constantly in everyday life - from counting money to measuring ingredients. Mastering addition facts builds the foundation for multiplication and algebra.

  • Making errors when regrouping (carrying)
  • Difficulty memorizing addition facts

Tips for Practice

How to Help Your Child

If your child is stuck, try using small objects (coins, blocks, cereal) to act out the problem. For regrouping (carrying), remind them: when a column adds up to 10 or more, write the ones digit and carry the tens digit to the next column.
