Addition – Sums to 5

Addition sums to 5  is a mathematical operation where two or more quantities are combined to give a total sum adding up to the number 5.  It is important in mathematics because it forms the basis of arithmetic and is used in everyday life, from counting to solving complex problems.

For example, if you have 2marbles and then someone gives you 3 more marbles, you can use addition to find out how many marbles you have now. 2 + 3 = 5, so you now have 5 marbles in total. Sums to 5 are a way to practice addition skills and learn about number bonds.
