because just like any other math problem a number plus a number is how ever many more #'s it was than there was at the start of the number...
========
The fact that 1 plus 1 is 2 really comes down to the definition of 1 and 2 and plus.
2 is defined to be the next number after 1. (i.e. the successor of 1)
Addition, denoted by plus, is defined , in part, by the rule: n +1 is the successor of n.
That is, adding one to a number is the same as finding the number after it.

no if 1 plus 1 equals 2 then 2 plus 2 equals 4.
1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5
One plus one is two. It can be expressed mathematically as 1+1 = 2.
1+1 or 1 plus 1 is equal to 2.
Try 1 plus 2. Maybe even 1.5 plus 1.5.Just a suggestion.
