To begin, lets write about how to do simple addition.
Simple addition is when you combine concepts together, for example: 3+1 or a physical concept like 2 apples plus 3 apples . This is a expression, if you want it be equation then it needs to have a result. We say a number is a result by putting an equal sign '=' after the expression and before the result. So the result of the first example we used is '3+1 = 4'. The second answer to the 2nd example is 2 apples plus 3 apples equals 5 .
Complex addition invovles place vaule.

2 | 2 |
How would you explain it to someone who is just learning?
7+3=10, 6+4=10, 5+5=10, these are all rules of ten.
A description of how to do addition, utilising msPaint can go here (a different example question can be generated if desired).
And one on fractions here :)
We can add images and links, on any particular math concepts. Spheres and circles perhaps?
