🧮 Addition (+)

  • Meaning: Putting two or more numbers together to find the total or sum.

  • Symbol: + (plus)

  • Example:
    5
    +
    3
    =
    8

    5 + 3 = 8

    5+3=8

  • Properties:

    • Commutative Property: Order doesn’t matter → 4
      +
      6
      =
      6
      +
      4

      4 + 6 = 6 + 4

      4+6=6+4

    • Associative Property: Grouping doesn’t matter → (
      2
      +
      3
      )
      +
      4
      =
      2
      +
      (
      3
      +
      4
      )

      (2 + 3) + 4 = 2 + (3 + 4)

      (2+3)+4=2+(3+4)

    • Adding Zero: Any number + 0 = the same number → 7
      +
      0
      =
      7

      7 + 0 = 7

      7+0=7

Subtraction (−)

  • Meaning: Taking away one number from another to find the difference.

  • Symbol: − (minus)

  • Example:
    9

    4
    =
    5

    9 − 4 = 5

    9−4=5

  • Properties:

    • Not Commutative: Order matters → 8

      3

      3

      8

      8 − 3 \neq 3 − 8

      8−3=3−8

    • Subtracting Zero: Any number − 0 = the same number → 6

      0
      =
      6

      6 − 0 = 6

      6−0=6

    • Subtracting a Number from Itself: Always 0 → 5

      5
      =
      0

      5 − 5 = 0

      5−5=0
