\huge\text{Hey there!}


\huge\textsf{What is addition \& subtraction?}


\huge\textbf{What is addition?}


\bullet\large\textbf{ Well, \underline{addition} simply means when you're ADDING}\\\large\textbf{2 or more numbers from each other to get the result of}\\\large\textbf{a number.}


\huge\textbf{Random notes}


\star\large\textbf{ Usually, you start working with addition when you're in}\\\large\textbf{pre-kindergarten (pre-k also known as head-start)}\\\\\star\large\textbf{ When, you're adding you are going upward.}\\\\\star\large\textbf{ Addition sometimes come after you learn how to count}\\\large\textbf{the basic numbers and so forth because adding never}\\\large\textbf{ends if you really think about.}


\huge\textbf{Example:}


\heartsuit\large\textbf{ 2 \boxed{\bf +} 5 = 7}\\\\\\\heartsuit\large\textbf{ You got the result of 7 because you started at 2 \& went}\\\larg\textbf{up 5 spaces to your right on your number and you landed}\\\large\textbf{on 7.}


\huge\textbf{What is subtraction?}


\bullet\large\textbf{ Well, subtraction simply means you're taking away. Often}\\\large\textbf{people call it take aways.}


\huge\textbf{Random notes:}


\star\large\textbf{ Usually, you start working with subtraction when you're}\\\large\textbf{in pre-kindergarten (pre-k also known as headstart)}\\\\\star\large\textbf{When you're subtracting you are doing downward.}\\\\\star\large\textbf{You focus more on subtraction when you're counting}\\\large\textbf{backwards.}


\huge\textbf{Example:}


\heartsuit\large\textbf{ 7 \boxed{\bf -} 5 = 2 }\\\\\\\heartsuit\large\textbf{ 7 \boxed{\bf -} 2 = 5}\\\\\\\heartsuit\large\textbf{ For equation \#1. you begin at 7 and go BACK 5 spaces}\\\large\textbf{and you should have landed on 2.}\\\\\\\heartsuit\large\textbf{ For equation \#2. you begin at 7 \& go BACK 2 spaces}\\\large\textbf{and you should have landed on 5.}


\huge\textsf{KEEP IN MIND:}


\circ\large\textsf{ Addition OPPOSITE is subtraction \& subtraction OPPOSITE is}\\\large\textsf{addition.}


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
