Basic Operations of Arithmetic
May your day be filled with no problems, but if there is a problem may you find the solution to it!
There are four basic operations of arithmetic:
- addition
- subtraction
- multiplication
- division
Addition is adding two or more numbers together to find the total sum of the numbers.
There are three parts to addition problems:
- the addends
- the plus (+) and equal (=) signs
- the sum
The addends are the two or more numbers you are adding together. The plus sign (+) is used to let us know that we are adding the addends together and the equal sign (=) is used to let us know what the sum of the addends are. The sum is the final answer of the addition problem.
Robert Recorde was a mathematician
and a physician who invented the equals (=) sign and introduced the plus (+)
sign to English speakers in 1557.
Which one of the four basic operations of math is your
favorite?
