Addition is one of the most basic math operations. It means putting things together or combining quantities. When we add, we use the plus symbol to show we're combining things, and the equals symbol to show what we get as a result.
Before we can add one plus one, we need to understand what the number one means. The number one represents a single object or quantity. We can see one as one dot, one circle, or one block. When we count, we start with one.
Now let's see how to add one plus one using visual objects. We start with one dot on the left. Then we add another dot on the right. When we put them together and count, we get our answer. Watch as the dots move together to show the result.
The answer to one plus one is two! The number two represents two objects together. We can see the difference between one object and two objects. When we count, we say one, two. Two is greater than one, showing that addition increases the quantity.
Now let's practice with real-world examples. One apple plus one apple equals two apples. One book plus one book equals two books. One star plus one star equals two stars. Addition helps us count and combine things in everyday life. Remember, one plus one always equals two!
