Addition basically means putting two or more things together, it is one of the basic arithmetic operations and is used to calculate the sum of multiple things.
Addition brings multiple numbers together to create new ones.
You can even rearrange and rewrite them to make the equations smaller.

Now, let's work with a fun addition example:
Imagine you're at an ice cream stand.
-You buy 4 chocolate ice cream 🍫.
- Then, you decide to get 3 strawberry ice cream🍓.
Let´s find out how many scoops of ice cream you have altogether!
So, we add:
4 (chocolate scoops)🍫 + 3 (strawberry scoops)🍓 =
7 scoops of ice cream!🍦
Now, what flavors would you like to add next? :)
