Addition

Addition is a basic arithmetic operation used to combine two or more quantities to find their total. It involves putting together amounts to see how much they amount to altogether. For example, if you have 3 apples and get 2 more, addition helps you find out that you now have 5 apples. It is one of the fundamental ways to understand how quantities grow or accumulate, and it's used in everyday tasks like counting money, measuring ingredients, or tracking distances. Think of addition as joining parts to see what the whole looks like.
