Decimal Addition Concepts and Techniques

The video tutorial explains how to add numbers in decimal notation by aligning them vertically according to their place values. It provides several examples, including adding two decimals, a whole number with a decimal, and multiple decimals. The key is to ensure the decimal points are aligned and to add zeros if necessary to maintain place value alignment. The tutorial emphasizes carrying over numbers when sums exceed ten.
