Exploring Basic Addition Concepts

The video tutorial demonstrates using Cuisenaire rods to model addition and subtraction. It begins with exploring the rods to build number concepts, then focuses on making tens, part-part-whole relationships, and exploring teen numbers. The tutorial also covers doubles and near doubles, emphasizing hands-on exploration and writing number sentences to enhance number sense.
