Archer Class on Addition:
First, let us understand the sign + (plus), which means addition. We place this sign between the two numbers we want to add.
For example, if we want to add 6 and 2, we write it as 6 + 2.
Now let us look at two parallel lines, =. This sign is called equal sign. We place this sign after the two numbers and before the answer to the question.
Therefore, the final and complete expression we write will be like
6 + 2 = 8

If you do not remember how much 6 + 2 is, then, you can use the method of counting.

Method Of Counting:
Here we have a group of 6 stars, and a group of 2 stars. By counting these stars, we can find out how much 6 + 2 will be.
To count, start with number 6, the bigger number, and count the stars in the second group, the group with 2 stars.
The count will be 7 and 8.
Therefore, the answer to 6 +2 will be 8.

Now let us find out how much 4 + 8 is.
Now we have 4 stars in one group and eight stars in the second group.
Again, we start with the number 8, the bigger number, and count the 4 stars in the second group.
In this case, the count will be, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
Therefore, the answer to 4 + 8 will be 12.
And we write it as 4 + 8 = 12.

In the real situation, to count, you are not going to have stars. Try to use your fingers instead of the stars.

For kids living in countries other than United State, this app not only teaches them addition and counting, but also gives them a chance to learn to speak in American Accent, which is the most spoken accent in the world. Every time, Archer does not understand kids' accent, he says the correct answer. By listening to his answer, kids learn to speak numbers the way he speaks.
