The addition is one of the basic math operations usually represented by the symbol '+'. In basic math, there are many ways of saying the same thing. For example, the symbol '+' can be called addition, add, sum, plus, increase, or total. The addition is a math operation that brings two or more numbers (or things) together to make a new total. The numbers added together are called 'addends'. An addition operation can be as simple as two plus two equals four, but also can be more complicated if applied to more complicated math operations.
There are lots of thinking tricks that make addition easier. For instance, it is easier to start from the larger number. For example, it is easier to count 6+3 than 3+6 for there are fewer numbers to count upwards. You can also use "jump strategy". By using this strategy, you don't count up one by one but by 2s or 10s. It will make the counting process a lot faster. You can also add up to ten by seeing if any numbers add to ten. They don't have to be next to each other. Add the first, and add the rest of the numbers. You can also split the bigger number into tens and units to make the addition easier.
