Addition is one of the most basic knowledge in mathematics, it is used throughout the basic to advanced lessons, from math to life. So to better understand the addition? Let’s discover the details in the following article.

What is addition?
The addition is also known as the sum of calculation, the result of the addition of quantities or numbers together. A total always contains a corresponding integer.
In mathematics, the sum is the addition of any sequence that is called the plus number (term) and the result is the sum. Besides adding numbers, it is also possible to perform this calculation with vectors, functions, polynomials, matrices, …
The symbol of addition is “+”.
Properties of addition
In addition, there will be the two most basic properties:
Commutative
In addition, commutative is the most characteristic. This is the property that in addition does not depend on the position of the numbers when combined together all produce the same result.
That is, it does not matter which number stands first, which one stands after combining, the results are the same.
Example: 5 + 3 = 8 that 3 + 5 = 8
Cohesive
The combination of addition is understood that when we add more than 2 numbers, the order of the plus calculation also has not changed results.
For example: (1 + 2) + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6 = 1 + 5 = 1 + (2 + 3).
In short, the addition is a basic calculation and the most fundamental knowledge when learning math that they will have to master. So parents should note that their children understand their nature to make math exactly.
Common forms of addition
In mathematics, the addition is divided into two main forms, which are not remembered and remember. Specifically:
Addition
This is the simplest calculation when we perform the cumulative terms of a certain row with a smaller result.
Example: 25 + 4 =
At this time 5 + 4 equals 9, writing 9
2 + 0 equals 2, writing 2
The calculation result is 29
Of which 25 is the first term, 4 is the second number, the sum of these two terms is 29.
Missing
This is considered an advanced addition with additions that when accumulated of certain types of goods, there will be a result greater than 10. At this time, we will remember the number of dozens towards the front row to perform the calculation.
Example: 38 + 6 =
We take 8 + 6 equals 14, write 4 remember 1
Continue, 3 + 0 equals 3, remember 1 equal to 4 writing 3
The calculation result is 44
Where 38 is the first term, 6 is the second number, the sum of these two terms is 44.
Forms of exercises related to common addition
For additional calculations in math will have many different types of exercises. But for children in grade 1, we will encounter some basic exercises as follows:
Form 1: Perform calculation
With this type of exercise, it is considered the most basic, they can be calculated and calculated. Therefore, they only need to perform the terms of the terms together according to the nature and rules of plus numbers from the unit to dozens to find the correct answer.
Example: 23 + 16 = 39
Form 2: Maths with words
Solution: First, they will have to read and analyze the problem carefully for the data, the quantity decreases or increases, the problem is given. Then based on the keywords of the article such as searching “remaining”, “all”, … and the requirements of the problem to determine the appropriate calculation.
Next will have to present the solution, calculation and write the correct answer. Finally, you will have to check the problem and results.
For example: A farmer raises 15 chickens and 5 dogs. Ask the farmer how many chickens and dogs?
Solution:
The farmer has all the chickens and dogs:
15 + 5 = 20 (child)
Answer: 20 children.
Form 3: Find the missing number in addition
Solution method: They will also have to perform the plus calculation from the unit to dozens. If it is the addition of 3 values, the problem indicates that two of the 3 values, we will calculate to find the missing value.
For example
5….+ 20 =… .6.
Prize:
Mental from the unit to tens of
Unit row: Which number plus 0 is equal to 6. We have: 6 + 0 = 6 so the number found is the number 6.
Tens: mental 5+2 = 7, so the number to fill in the remaining blanks is 7
So fill out the numbers in the blank to be calculated as follows:
56 + 20 = 76
Form 4: Comparison
With this form of exercise, we can calculate the sum of one side and then bring the comparison with the other side to fill in the seal>, <, = appropriate.
Example: 25 + 30 … 60
Solution: We take 25 + 30 = 55, when compared to 60 we get 55 <60 so 25 + 30 <60
The secret to helping children learn, memorize and apply knowledge about additional addition
Basically, addition is one of the basic calculations that your child will learn and get acquainted first. To help your child can learn this calculation well, parents can apply the following tips:
Create interest in learning math for children with Mầm non Cát Linh Math
Mầm non Cát Linh Math is known as the leading application of English math teaching in Vietnam, built on the standard Common Core State Standards of the US for preschool and elementary children.

Teach your child to learn addition through visual tools
For babies who are just starting to study addition, parents should use visual support tools from rods, Lego, Domino blocks, … or any favorite items they love to learn with their children easily.
Because when there is an intuitive tool, your baby will easily imagine it, as well as practice and create excitement when learning more effectively.
Teach your child to learn addition through the game
For children of the age of mathematics, it is usually from 3 to 10 years old. This is a rather playful age, so the application of math learning method through the game will be extremely effective for parents to deploy.
Here parents can organize games themselves such as counting objects, calculating money, counting fingers, going to the market … This will help children to be interested in learning math, as well as increase their ability to think and remember.
Together with children to do more addition exercises
In order to improve the effectiveness of mathematics for children, parents should practice and do regular exercises. Here you can let your baby do homework in class, combined with thinking of many problems in life, reality or searching on the Internet so that they have the opportunity to rub with many types of math. This will help develop your baby’s ability to learn math more and better.
