Explanation:

  1. Addition of Whole Numbers in Thousands and Millions:
    • To add large numbers, align the digits according to their place values (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, etc.).
    • Start adding from the right (ones place) to the left, carrying over when the sum of a column exceeds 9.

    Example 1: Add 123,456 + 234,567.

    • Align the numbers:
      markdown

      123,456
      + 234,567
      ---------
      358,023
    • Answer: 358,023

    Example 2: Add 2,345,678 + 1,234,567.

    • Align the numbers:
      2,345,678
    • 1,234,567

    3,580,245

    markdown

    - **Answer:** 3,580,245

    **Example 3:** Add 567,890 + 345,678 + 123,456.
    - Align the numbers:

    567,890

    • 345,678
    • 123,456

    1,037,024

    markdown

    - **Answer:** 1,037,024

  2. Subtraction of Whole Numbers in Thousands and Millions:
    • To subtract large numbers, align the digits according to their place values.
    • Start subtracting from the right (ones place) to the left, borrowing if the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit.

    Example 1: Subtract 987,654 – 123,456.

    • Align the numbers:
      987,654
    • 123,456

    864,198

    markdown

    - **Answer:** 864,198

    **Example 2:** Subtract 2,345,678 - 1,234,567.
    - Align the numbers:

    2,345,678

    • 1,234,567

    1,111,111

    markdown

    - **Answer:** 1,111,111

    **Example 3:** Subtract 1,000,000 - 345,678.
    - Align the numbers:

    1,000,000

    • 345,678

    654,322

    markdown

    - **Answer:** 654,322

  3. Real-Life Problems on Addition and Subtraction in Thousands and Millions:
    • Scenario 1: A school purchased 3,245 new books and 2,356 old books. How many books did the school purchase in total?
      • Answer: 3,245 + 2,356 = 5,601 books.
    • Scenario 2: A company made a profit of 1,234,567 naira in the first quarter and 987,654 naira in the second quarter. What is the total profit?
      • Answer: 1,234,567 + 987,654 = 2,222,221 naira.
    • Scenario 3: A family budgeted 500,000 naira for a vacation but spent 345,678 naira. How much is left from the budget?
      • Answer: 500,000 – 345,678 = 154,322 naira.
  4. Quantitative Reasoning Involving Addition and Subtraction:
    • Solve complex problems by breaking them into smaller steps involving both addition and subtraction.

    Example 1: A school has 1,234 pupils. 567 new pupils joined, and 345 pupils left. How many pupils are there now?

    • Answer: 1,234 + 567 – 345 = 1,456 pupils.
