Watch: What is addition?
Heya Guys!
Trying to figure out if you have enough plutonium for your shrink gun?
Well we can work that out with the power of the addition symbol.
We use the addition symbol when we want to add one thing to another.
So for example, Albert has 3 sticks of plutonium and Jerry has 2 sticks of plutonium.
With the addition symbol you can add two things together and find out what the total is.
This is the equals sign. The left side and the right side of the equals sign have the same value.
2 plus 3 equals five 5 of plutonium.
That's enough for the shrink gun right?
Ah, was that, err, supposed to happen?
