Look at apple.
Count apple.
There is one apple.
To prove 1+1=2:
Take one apple.
Add one apple.
Now you have two.
I don't understand how you would need to prove any more than that.

It is obvious, but in order to show that your system of math is able to accurately represent this truth, you have to be able to prove it using that system.
