Addition questions with solutions are given here for students to practice and improve their skills. Addition is one of the arithmetic operations in mathematics that are multiplication, division, subtraction and addition. This mathematical operation is introduced in elementary classes to teach kids how to add two or more numbers.
Addition is taught to kids using various methods which are counting using figures (or fingers), adding two numbers using a number line, addition by regrouping and by using addition tables. We can directly add numbers of one digit, but when it comes to adding numbers of more than one digit, we first write the digits of the number according to their place value, then start adding column-wise from right to left.

Addition and subtraction are inverse operations. For example, 34 + 12 = 46, then 46 – 12 = 34 |
Question 3: How much should be added to 6745 to get 10,000?
Solution:
We to find a number such that 6745 + ___ = 10,000.
