Addition is the most basic operation that will help us understand all other operations in the future. After learning to count, addition is the first operation that children learn and it forms the base for a lot of things that we learn in mathematics as we move forward.
See the fact file below for more information on the single digit addition or alternatively, you can download our 28-page Single digit addition worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment. This worksheet is broken down by Beginner, intermediate and advanced meaning you can choose the complexity level for your student.
Key Facts & Information
Summary:
- Addition of numbers means to find the total value of those numbers combined.
Example : 2 + 1 = 3 - When we add zero to a number, the number remains unchanged.
Example : 2 + 0 = 2 - Addition is the most basic operation that will help us understand all other operations in the future.
What is addition?
- In mathematics, there are four basic operations that children learn step by step. After learning to count, addition is the first operation that children learn and it forms the base for a lot of things that we learn in mathematics as we move forward. Addition of two numbers means that we find the total value of those numbers combined. We can also say that by adding two numbers we find the sum of the two numbers. For adding the number we use a special symbol as shown below:
- Here are a few examples of basic addition:
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 2 = 4
3 + 4 = 7
3 + 1 = 4
- When we add zero to any number we get the same number. This means that the value of the number remains unchanged. Here are a few examples of addition with zero:
1 + 0 = 1
3 + 0 = 3
6 + 0 = 6
0 + 1 = 1
- These examples showed addition of two numbers. We can add as many numbers as we want. All we have to do is put the addition sign in between the numbers. Following are examples of addition of more than two numbers:
1 + 1 + 1 = 3
1 + 2 + 1 + 2= 6
2 + 3 + 0 + 1= 6
- In this article, we will go through many examples of single-digit addition.
Importance of addition
- Addition helps develop basic number sense.
- It is one of the most basic operations and will help us learn other operations as we move forward. When we learn to multiply addition will act as a foundation.
- Addition is used in everyday life for example when we count money, buys things etc.
Example:
- Add the following pairs of numbers:
1, 2
1, 3
2, 2
3, 2
1, 4
- When we add the above given numbers we get the following result:
1 + 2 = 3
1 + 3 = 4
2 + 2 = 4
3 + 2 = 5
1 + 4 = 5
Example:
- Add the numbers on the dice:
- There are six dots on the first die and one dot on the second die. We add them to get the following result:
6 + 1 = 7
- There are four dots on the first die and two dots on the second die. We add them to get the following result:
4 + 2 = 6
- There are five dots on the first die and three dots on the second die. We add them to get the following result:
5 + 3 = 8
- There are three dots on the first die and three dots on the second die. We add them to get the following result:
3 + 3 = 6
Example:
- Add the following set of numbers :
2, 1, 4, 1
3, 1, 0, 2
2, 3, 1
5, 0, 2, 1, 1
3, 2, 1, 5, 2, 3
- By adding these numbers we get the following results:
2 + 1 + 4 + 1 = 8
3 + 1 + 0 + 2 = 6
2 + 3 + 1 = 6
5 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9
3 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 3 = 16
- This shows that we can add as many numbers as we want. Secondly this also tells us that adding zero has no effect on the number.
Example:
- Sarah has two red apples. She needs 5 red apples to make a pie. How many more red apples does she need?
- Adding 3 more apples to the 2 apples we get 5 apples.
- So to make an apple pie, Sarah needs three more apples.
2 + 3 = 5
Example:
- Eric needs eight peaches to make a peach cobbler for the summer festival. Emma’s uncle owns a peach farm so she gave Eric seven peaches. How many more peaches does Eric need to buy to make the peach cobbler?
- Eric has 7 peaches. He needs 8 peaches to make the peach cobbler. So Eric needs to buy one more peach.
7 + 1 = 8
Example:
- Suppose Frank has ten five-dollar bills. He wants to donate this money to charity. How many dollars does he have in total?
- Frank has 10 bills. Value of each bill is 5 dollars. So the total value of his money can be calculated as follows:
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 50
- So Frank has 50 dollars in total to donate to charity.
