Summary:

Addition Terminology
The numbers you add are all called addends.
The answer is called the sum.
It is called a sum even when you
haven’t yet calculated it.
So 13 + 7 is the sum of 13 and 7.
The whole “thing” is an addition
sentence.

Adding with no carryovers: You have already learnt adding with carryovers. Let me explain this once
again.
Let us look at an example with two-digit numbers, say 12 + 15. In the first step, we will add 2 + 5. This
will result in 7. We will write down 7 as the output of the first step. Unlike the above example, there is
nothing left now to be carried over. In the second step, we will add 1 (from 12) and 1 (from 15). This
will result in 1 + 1 = 2 as the output of the second step. So the answer is 27 and the process did not
involve any carryover.

Let’s take another example:

Same way, you can add numbers with more digits. You need to carry on the steps till you have added all
the digits.

1. Write 20, 100, 500, and 138 as sums in three different ways.

a. 20 = 14 + 6 b. 100 = c. 500 = d. 138 =

20 = 100 = 500 = 138 =
20 = 100 = 500 = 138 =
