Efficiently Adding Large Numbers Using the Standard Addition Algorithm

The video tutorial teaches how to add multi-digit whole numbers using the standard addition algorithm. It begins by discussing different methods for addition, such as partial sums and number lines, but focuses on the standard algorithm. The tutorial explains the importance of correctly lining up numbers by place value and demonstrates the process of adding numbers step-by-step, including regrouping. The example problem 254,876 + 23,087 is used to illustrate the method, resulting in the final answer of 277,963.
