To find the total number of hours he worked last week, he added 3 and 4.The operation of addition combines numbers to get a sum. The notation we use to find the sum of 3 and 4 is:3+4We read this as three plus four and the result is the sum of three and four. The numbers 3 and 4 are called the addends. A math statement that includes numbers and operations is called an expression.Addition NotationTo describe addition, we can use symbols and words.
OperationNotationExpressionRead asResultAddition+3+4three plus fourthe sum of 3 and 4
Translate from math notation to words:ⓐ7+1ⓑ12+14Solutionⓐ The expression consists of a plus symbol connecting the addends 7 and 1. We read this as seven plus one. The result is the sum of seven and one.ⓑ The expression consists of a plus symbol connecting the addends 12 and 14. We read this as twelve plus fourteen. The result is the sum of twelve and fourteen.Translate from math notation to words:ⓐ8+4ⓑ18+11ⓐ eight plus four; the sum of eight and fourⓑ eighteen plus eleven; the sum of eighteen and elevenTranslate from math notation to words:ⓐ21+16ⓑ100+200ⓐ twenty-one plus sixteen; the sum of twenty-one and sixteenⓑ one hundred plus two hundred; the sum of one hundred and two hundredModel Addition of Whole NumbersAddition is really just counting. We will model addition with base-10 blocks. Remember, a block represents 1 and a rod represents 10. Let’s start by modeling the addition expression we just considered, 3+4.Each addend is less than 10, so we can use ones blocks.
We start by modeling the first number with 3 blocks.Then we model the second number with 4 blocks.Count the total number of blocks.
There are 7 blocks in all. We use an equal sign (=) to show the sum. A math sentence that shows that two expressions are equal is called an equation. We have shown that. 3+4=7.Doing the Manipulative Math Worksheets activity “Model Addition of Whole Numbers” will help you develop a better understanding of adding whole numbers.Model the addition 2+6.Solution2+6 means the sum of 2 and 6Each addend is less than 10, so we can use ones blocks.
Model the first number with 2 blocks.Model the second number with 6 blocks.Count the total number of blocksThere are 8 blocks in all, so 2+6=8.
Model: 3+6.Model: 5+1.When the result is 10 or more ones blocks, we will exchange the 10 blocks for one rod.Model the addition 5+8.Solution5+8 means the sum of 5 and 8.
Each addend is less than 10, se we can use ones blocks.Model the first number with 5 blocks.Model the second number with 8 blocks.Count the result. There are more than 10 blocks so we exchange 10 ones blocks for 1 tens rod.Now we have 1 ten and 3 ones, which is 13.5 + 8 = 13
Notice that we can describe the models as ones blocks and tens rods, or we can simply say ones and tens. From now on, we will use the shorter version but keep in mind that they mean the same thing.Model the addition: 5+7.Model the addition: 6+8.Next we will model adding two digit numbers.
Model the addition: 17+26.Solution17+26 means the sum of 17 and 26.
Model the 17.1 ten and 7 onesModel the 26.2 tens and 6 onesCombine.3 tens and 13 onesExchange 10 ones for 1 ten.4 tens and 3 ones40+3=43We have shown that 17+26=43
Model the addition: 15+27.Model the addition: 16+29.Add Whole Numbers Without ModelsNow that we have used models to add numbers, we can move on to adding without models. Before we do that, make sure you know all the one digit addition facts. You will need to use these number facts when you add larger numbers.Imagine filling in by adding each row number along the left side to each column number across the top. Make sure that you get each sum shown. If you have trouble, model it. It is important that you memorize any number facts you do not already know so that you can quickly and reliably use the number facts when you add larger numbers.
Did you notice what happens when you add zero to a number? The sum of any number and zero is the number itself. We call this the Identity Property of Addition. Zero is called the additive identity.Identity Property of AdditionThe sum of any number a and 0 is the number.a+0=a0+a=aFind each sum: ⓐ0+11ⓑ42+0Solution
ⓐ The first addend is zero. The sum of any number and zero is the number.0+11=11ⓑ The second addend is zero. The sum of any number and zero is the number.42+0=42
Find each sum: ⓐ0+19ⓑ39+0ⓐ0+19=19ⓑ39+0=39Find each sum: ⓐ0+24ⓑ57+0ⓐ0+24=24ⓑ57+0=57Look at the pairs of sums.
2+3=53+2=54+7=117+4=118+9=179+8=17
Notice that when the order of the addends is reversed, the sum does not change. This property is called the Commutative Property of Addition, which states that changing the order of the addends does not change their sum.Commutative Property of AdditionChanging the order of the addends a and b does not change their sum.a+b=b+aAdd: ⓐ8+7ⓑ7+8Solution
ⓐAdd.8+715
ⓑAdd.7+815
Did you notice that changing the order of the addends did not change their sum? We could have immediately known the sum from part ⓑ just by recognizing that the addends were the same as in part ⓐ , but in the reverse order. As a result, both sums are the same.Add: 9+7 and 7+9.9+7=16; 7+9=16Add: 8+6 and 6+8.8+6=14; 6+8=14Add: 28+61.SolutionTo add numbers with more than one digit, it is often easier to write the numbers vertically in columns.
Write the numbers so the ones and tens digits line up vertically.28+61____Then add the digits in each place value. Add the ones: 8+1=9Add the tens: 2+6=828+61____89
Add: 32+54.32+54=86Add: 25+74.25+74=99In the previous example, the sum of the ones and the sum of the tens were both less than 10. But what happens if the sum is 10 or more? Let’s use our base-10 model to find out. shows the addition of 17 and 26 again.When we add the ones, 7+6, we get 13 ones. Because we have more than 10 ones, we can exchange 10 of the ones for 1 ten. Now we have 4 tens and 3 ones. Without using the model, we show this as a small red 1 above the digits in the tens place.When the sum in a place value column is greater than 9, we carry over to the next column to the left. Carrying is the same as regrouping by exchanging. For example, 10 ones for 1 ten or 10 tens for 1 hundred.Add whole numbers.Write the numbers so each place value lines up vertically.Add the digits in each place value. Work from right to left starting with the ones place. If a sum in a place value is more than 9, carry to the next place value.Continue adding each place value from right to left, adding each place value and carrying if needed.Add: 43+69.Solution
Write the numbers so the digits line up vertically.43+69____Add the digits in each place.Add the ones: 3+9=12Write the 2 in the ones place in the sum.Add the 1 ten to the tens place.413+69____2Now add the tens: 1+4+6=11Write the 11 in the sum.413+69____112
Write the numbers so the digits line up vertically.Add the digits in each place value.Add the ones: 4+6=10Write the 0 in the ones place in the sum and carry the 1 ten to the tens place.Add the tens: 1+2+8=11Write the 1 in the tens place in the sum and carry the 1 hundred to the hundredsAdd the hundreds: 1+3+5=9Write the 9 in the hundreds place.
Write the numbers so the digits line up vertically.1,683+479______Add the digits in each place value.Add the ones: 3+9=12.Write the 2 in the ones place of the sum and carry the 1 ten to the tens place.1,6813+479______2Add the tens: 1+7+8=16Write the 6 in the tens place and carry the 1 hundred to the hundreds place.1,61813+479______62Add the hundreds: 1+6+4=11Write the 1 in the hundreds place and carry the 1 thousand to the thousands place.1,61813+479______162Add the thousands 1+1=2.Write the 2 in the thousands place of the sum.1,161813+479______2,162
When the addends have different numbers of digits, be careful to line up the corresponding place values starting with the ones and moving toward the left.Add: 4,597+685.4,597+685=5,282Add: 5,837+695.5,837+695=6,532Add: 21,357+861+8,596.Solution

This example had three addends. We can add any number of addends using the same process as long as we are careful to line up the place values correctly.Add: 46,195+397+6,281.46,195+397+6,281=52,873Add: 53,762+196+7,458.53,762+196+7,458=61,416Translate Word Phrases to Math NotationEarlier in this section, we translated math notation into words.

We’ll start by outlining a plan. First, we need to read the problem to determine what we are looking for. Then we write a word phrase that gives the information to find it. Next we translate the word phrase into math notation and then simplify. Finally, we write a sentence to answer the question.Hao earned grades of 87,93,68,95,and89 on the five tests of the semester. What is the total number of points he earned on the five tests?SolutionWe are asked to find the total number of points on the tests.
