Basic operations of Addition



May your day be filled with no problems, but if there is a problem, may you find the solution!

 

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 the sum of the addends. The sum is the final answer to the addition problem. 

Robert Recorde was a mathematician and physician who, in 1557, invented the equals (=) sign and introduced the plus (+) sign to English speakers.



Which one of the four basic operations of math is your favorite?
