simple way of addition 

Addition

Addition is ...

... bringing two or more numbers (or things) together to make a new total.

Here 1 ball is added to 1 ball to make 2 balls:
Using Numbers it is:		1 + 1 = 2
And in words it is:		"One plus one equals two"

Example: When we add 2 and 3 we get 5.

We can write it like this:

2 + 3 = 5

                  Addition Tips and Tricks

Here are lots of "thinking tricks" you can use to make addition easier.

Use the ones that make sense to you!

Count From A Number Upwards

Example: 6 + 3
	Think "6 ... 7, 8, 9"

Hint: start from the larger number.

Example: 2 + 6

2 + 6 is Harder: "2 ... 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8"

6 + 2 is Easier: "6 ... 7, 8"

So do 6 + 2 instead (you get the same answer).
