### **Addition Reviewer**

#### **What is Addition?**

Addition is the mathematical operation of **combining two or more


numbers to get a sum**. It is one of the basic arithmetic operations.

#### **Addition Terms:**

- **Addends** – The numbers being added (e.g., 5 + 3 → 5 and 3 are


addends).

- **Sum** – The result of addition (e.g., 5 + 3 = 8, so 8 is the sum).

- **Plus (+) Sign** – The symbol used for addition.

### **Basic Addition Facts**

1. **Commutative Property** – Changing the order of addends does not


change the sum.

- Example: **4 + 2 = 2 + 4**

2. **Associative Property** – Grouping addends in different ways does not


change the sum.

- Example: **(3 + 4) + 5 = 3 + (4 + 5)**

3. **Identity Property** – Adding zero to any number gives the same


number.

- Example: **7 + 0 = 7**

4. **Doubling Strategy** – When adding the same number to itself,


multiply by 2.

- Example: **6 + 6 = 12**

### **Addition Strategies**

- **Counting On** – Start with a number and count forward.

- **Using a Number Line** – Jump forward to find the sum.


- **Breaking Apart (Decomposing Numbers)** – Split numbers into easier
parts.

- Example: **47 + 35 → (40 + 30) + (7 + 5) = 70 + 12 = 82**

- **Column Method (Regrouping or Carrying)** – Used for multi-digit


numbers.

- Example:

```

27

+ 45

-----

72

```

- **Estimation** – Round numbers to estimate sums quickly.

### **Practice Problems:**

1. 23 + 56 = ?

2. 189 + 347 = ?

3. A box has 48 apples, and another has 29 apples. How many apples in
total?
