Take a look at these addition facts below:

6 + 5 = 11    and    5 + 6 = 11

7 + 2 = 9    and    2 + 7 = 9

8 + 13 = 21    and    13 + 8 = 21

28 + 59 = 87    and    59 + 28 = 87

Did you spot that adding can be done in any order?

The answer will be the same!

Let's test it out in these questions.
