What to Focus On

  • Addition combines numbers to find a total.
  • The answer in addition is called the sum.
  • Numbers being added are called addends.
  • Changing the order of numbers does not change the sum.
  • Adding zero to a number gives the same number.
  • Grouping does not affect the sum in addition.
  • Arrange numbers in columns properly.
  • Always start adding from the ones place.
  • Carry over extra digits to the next column.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

You can add numbers from left to right just like reading a book.

When you add two numbers, the answer is always bigger than both numbers.

The order of numbers in addition changes the answer.
