An addition problem is when we add something to something.
When we see the sign that let's us know that it's an addition problem.

Let's look at an example –
Daria has blue balls
Max has orange balls
How many balls do Daria and Max have together?
Let's count the balls -
Together they have balls in total.
The addition exercise is:
Add ten units to the number 72.
What is the resulting number?
Now we'll move on to a slightly harder exercise.
Solve the exercise
Let's use balls-
We have a group of balls
and a group of balls
The plus reminds us that we need to add them together.
Upon counting how many balls we have in total we discover that we have balls.
Well done!
Now let's proceed to adding without needing to draw circles.
When I have any number, for example , and want to add to it,
like in the exercise
Imagine that we already have and we just want to add more.
Let's count:
First we'll add and obtain
Let's continue to add and we'll obtain
Finally we'll add and obtain !
The answer
Let's do another exercise –
What is the solution to the following exercise:
Let's imagine we have and we're simply adding .
Add – we obtain
Add another – we obtain
Add another – we obtain
Add another – and we obtain
We added and obtained !
Therefore:
Now let's move on to slightly more advanced exercises!
Imagine that Annabeth has chocolate cubes
and Gilbert has chocolate cubes.
How can we know how many chocolate cubes they have together without drawing or adding 1 each time?
Observe the following method
The numbers we have contain tens and ones.
Let's see how many tens Annabeth has –
and how many tens Gilbert has –
We'll add them together and obtain the following
Now let's proceed to the ones – ones for Annabeth
and ones for Gilbert –
Added together we obtain
Now we'll add the sum of tens with the sum of ones as shown below:
This is the result of the exercise
Let's learn another way:
Vertical solution!
When we are presented with an addition problem like this for example:
Let's write it vertically in a neat way - ones under ones and tens under tens if there are any.
Let's add ones with ones –
and tens with tens
We obtain the following result
is .
Let's solve another exercise:
Let's write the problem vertically, placing all ones under ones and tens under tens, and we should obtain the following solution:
Let's calculate
We obtain
Proceed to calculate
We obtain
Add twenty units to the number 66. What is the resulting number?
Add fifty units to the number 31.
What is the resulting number?
Add thirty units to the number 44.
What is the resulting number?
Add ten units to the number 72.
What is the resulting number?
To find the resulting number when ten units are added to 72, we will perform the following steps:
Let's perform the calculation:
Therefore, the resulting number when ten units are added to 72 is .
Add twenty units to the number 66. What is the resulting number?
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The initial number is given as 66, and we need to add 20 to it.
Step 2: We'll perform the addition:
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
Add fifty units to the number 31.
What is the resulting number?
To solve this problem, we'll perform simple addition:
Step 1: Identify the numbers to be added, which are 31 and 50.
Step 2: Calculate the sum: .
Let's perform the calculation:
Since there's nothing to carry over, the sum directly gives us the resulting number. Thus, .
Therefore, the resulting number when adding fifty units to the number 31 is .
Add thirty units to the number 44.
What is the resulting number?
To solve the problem, we will perform simple addition:
Therefore, the solution to the problem is .
What number will we get if we add 3 tens and 4 units to the number 61?
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The problem gives us the initial number as .
Step 2: Add 3 tens (which is ) to :
.
Step 3: Add 4 units to :
.
Therefore, the resulting number after adding 3 tens and 4 units to is .
