Fascinating Fact:

Order doesn’t matter in addition: 3+5 equals 5+3. Same total both ways.

In KS1 Maths, you learn that addition makes a total and the order of the addends does not change the result. Build fluency with quick practice in the Addition Game, then try word problems that ask for the total.

Key Terms

  • Total: The final amount you get when numbers are added together.
  • Addend: A number that is being added to another number.
  • Number sentence: A maths statement using numbers and symbols, such as 4 + 2 = 6.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What does total mean in Year 1 addition?

Total means how many there are altogether after you add the numbers. For example, 2 + 3 has a total of 5.

Can I add in any order and get the same answer?

Yes. In addition, 3 + 5 and 5 + 3 both equal 8. The order of the addends does not change the total.

How can I get faster at finding totals?

Practise small facts often, use number bonds to ten, and play quick activities like the Addition Game to build fluency.
