QUICK CONCEPT REVIEW
Addition is combining smaller sets to a bigger single set.
Facts of daily life help us in understanding the concept better

Amazing Facts
• The opposite sides of a dice always add up to seven.

MORE ABOUT ADDITION
• Addition is one of the basic four operations.
• It is denoted by the symbol “+”.
For example: 4 added to 9 can be written as 9 + 4.
• The numbers that are added are called addends.
• A 10 x 10 number grid is a helpful tool to add 2-digit numbers.
• Some words that denote addition are “in all”, “total”, “sum” and “altogether”.
• Addition can be done in different ways
→ Counting in tens : 55 + 23 = 55 + 10 + 10 + 3
= 75 + 3 = 78
• To make addition easier it is important to regroup the numbers.
For example: 421 + 379
Add the ones = 1 + 9 = 10
Add the tens = 20 + 70 + 10 = 100
Add the hundreds = 400 + 300 + 100 = 800
Add 800 + 100 + 10 = 910

Similarly for four digit numbers first of all add one digits, then tens, then hundreds and then thousands respectively.
Add 7120 and 1230.

Step 1 : Add the ones.
Step 2 : Add the tens. +
Step 3 : Add the hundreds
Step 4 : Add the thousands
So, 7120 + 1230 = 8350

Historical Preview
• The ‘+’ and ‘—’ symbols first appeared in print in Mercantile arithmetic published in Leipzig in 1489.

PROPERTIES OF ADDITION
1. Commutative or Order Property of Addition: Two or more than two numbers can be added in any order
e.g. 2130 + 1290 is same as 1290 + 2130.
2. Associative property of addition: Sum of three or more number is not affected by their grouping
e.g. 1200 + 1400 + 1300 = (1200 + 1400) + 1300 or 1200 + (1400 + 1300).
3. Sum of zero (0) and number is the number itself.
This zero is called identity element
e.g. 7000 + 0 = 0 + 7000 = 7000.

Try it!
Example: If Reena had 10 apples and got 29 more apples from her mother, then find the total number of apples Reena had.
Solution: The number of apples Reena had
= 10 + 29
= 39 apples
Example: Find the missing number Using properties of addition
(a) 29 + ___ = 19 + 29
(b) 700 + (60 + 15) = (700 + 60)+ ___
(c) 198 + 0 = ___ + 198
Solution:
(a) 29 + 19 = 19 + 29
(b) 700 + (60 + 15)
= (700 +60 ) + 15
(c) 198 + 0 = 0 + 198
 

Question. Find the missing digit.
445 + ___ = 766
(a) 321
(b) 322
(c) 320
(d) 329
Answer : (A) Consider the unit digit in both numbers on LHS so 5 + ? = 6 => 5 + 1 = 6
445 + 321 = 766.

Question. Find the missing digit.
349 + 4 6 = 805
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 5
(d) 6
Answer : (c) Consider the unit digit in both numbers on LHS so 9 + 6 = 15 ; Hence 5 comes in the unit digit and 1 is carried over.
Consider the tens digit in both numbers on LHS. Now since 0 is the tens digit in 805 the sum of tens digits on numbers on LHS should add up to 10 (1 gets carried over). So 1 + 4 + ? = 10 ⇒ ? = 5
Consider the hundreds digit in both numbers on LHS. 1 + 3 + 4 = 8
349 + 456 = 805.

Question. Find the missing number.
456 : 487 :: 360 : ?
(a) 380
(b) 390
(c) 391
(d) 381

360 + 31 = 391
So ? = 391

Question. 7000 : 8000 : : 4000 : __?__
(a) 3000
(b) 4500
(c) 5000
(d) 8000
Answer : (C) 7000 + 1000 = 8000
4000 + 1000 = 5000

(a) 475,495
(b) 470, 495
(c) 4750, 500
(d) 470, 500
Answer : (D) Add 10 to each term to get the next term.
460 + 10 = 470
470 + 10 = 480
480 + 10 = 490
490 + 10 = 500

Question. Find the missing number.

344 + 7 = 351
351 + 7 = 358
358 + 7 =365
365+ 7 = 372
