ποΈ What is Addition?
- Addition is the process of combining numbers to find a total.
- For example, 7 + 5 = 12, where the answer is called the sum.
ποΈ What is Multiplication?
- Multiplication is repeated addition of the same number.
- For example, 3 Γ 6 = 18 means adding 6 three times (6 + 6 + 6).
ποΈ What is Subtraction?
- Subtraction is the process of taking away one number from another.
- For example, 18 β 6 = 12, where the answer is called the difference.
ποΈ What is Division?
- Division means sharing a total equally into groups.
- For example, 12 Γ· 4 = 3, imagine sharing 12 apples equally into 4 groups, each group has 3 apples.
ποΈ What are Inverse Operations?
- Inverse operations undo each other.
- Addition undoes subtraction, and multiplication undoes division.
