Elements of the sum

The sum is the first of the basic operations that are taught in school. From this, children can learn other operations such as subtraction, multiplication and division. Like any operation, the sum is made up of different parts or elements.

In this video I will explain what the elements of the sum and its function. To begin with, the sum is represented by a sign called more which is represented with a small cross. This sign tells us that adding is adding. The sum is also made up of different adding which are the numbers to be added. Finally, we have the sum or total which will be the result of the sum.

I leave you on the web a pdf with two printable exercises and solutions so that your children internalize and learn these elements that make up the sum.

Adding is not easy but thanks to unprofesor.com it will be much more entertaining. Children can practice everything they learn at school through our website and if they have questions they can ask the teacher directly. They will also be able to search the web for what they have not understood in class to receive a different explanation which they will be able to see and hear as many times as they need. Remember that each child has a different rate of learning. Let them go up to speed and build their way!
