Worksheet Overview

Adding whole numbers means that we are combining numbers to form a total.

We call the total in addition 'the sum.' The sum always means addition, it is the total of when numbers are added together. 

Let's look at an example: 3 + 4 = 7 

The sum of 3 and 4 is 7. 

The sum is what comes after the equals sign in an addition question.
