Definition: The act of adding anything.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That’s a perfectly good definition from the dictionary, it’s true, “the act of adding anything.” But let’s dig a little deeper, shall we? “Additions” really means putting things together – like building blocks, you see. It's about combining numbers, or objects, or even ideas! Think of it this way: if you have one apple and then add another, you now have two. That’s an addition! Or, let's say we’re adding colors – red plus blue makes purple, you know! It can be simple sums with numbers like “3 + 2,” or it can be more complex, like combining different ingredients in a recipe. Essentially, 'additions' means to increase something by joining it with another thing. Do you have any questions about that? Let’s see if we can think of some examples together!
