Why is World Kindness Day Celebrated?
On World Kindness Day, November 13, we can think about math as an act of kindness! Just like a kind action can make someone feel better, inverse operations help balance our math problems. If we ‘add’ something, we can ‘subtract’ to bring it back, just like how a kind act can turn a frown into a smile.
What is Inverse operations
Inverse operations are pairs of math actions that undo each other. For example, addition and subtraction are inverse operations because adding puts things together while subtracting takes them apart.

Frequently Asked Questions
An inverse operation is an operation that reverses the effect of another operation. If you perform an action on a number and then perform its inverse, you end up back where you started.
Example: If you start with 10 and add 5, you get 15. To “undo” that and get back to 10, you subtract 5. Therefore, addition and subtraction are inverse operations.
Inverse operations are the primary tool used to isolate a variable in an equation. By applying the inverse of whatever is being done to x, you can “peel away” the numbers until x stands alone.
When you apply an operation and its inverse together, they result in the “Identity Element”, the number that changes nothing.
