2. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

   The addition of two numbers is expressed with the plus sign (+). [6] It is performed according to these rules: The order in which the addends are added does not affect the sum. This is known as the commutative property of addition. (a + b) and (b + a) produce the same output. [7] [8]

3. Multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication

   Multiplication by a positive number preserves the order: For a > 0, if b > c, then ab > ac. Multiplication by a negative number reverses the order: For a < 0, if b > c, then ab < ac. The complex numbers do not have an ordering that is compatible with both addition and multiplication. [29]

4. Grid method multiplication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_method_multiplication

   The grid method (also known as the box method) of multiplication is an introductory approach to multi-digit multiplication calculations that involve numbers larger than ten. Because it is often taught in mathematics education at the level of primary school or elementary school , this algorithm is sometimes called the grammar school method.

5. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

   The main arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Arithmetic is an elementary branch of mathematics that studies numerical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. In a wider sense, it also includes exponentiation, extraction of roots, and taking logarithms.

6. Addition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addition

   There are even more generalizations of multiplication than addition. [82] In general, multiplication operations always distribute over addition; this requirement is formalized in the definition of a ring. In some contexts, such as the integers, distributivity over addition and the existence of a multiplicative identity is enough to uniquely ...

7. Plus and minus signs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_and_minus_signs

   The plus sign (+) and the minus sign (−) are mathematical symbols used to denote positive and negative functions, respectively. In addition, + represents the operation of addition, which results in a sum, while − represents subtraction, resulting in a difference. [1] Their use has been extended to many other meanings, more or less analogous.
