Rational Numbers and Their Operations

In this lesson, Mr. Hul explains the properties of operations for adding and subtracting rational numbers. The video covers examples and exercises, including the concept of the opposite of a sum, representing expressions as single rational numbers, and using number lines to understand mixed numbers. Real-life applications, such as weight change scenarios, are also discussed. The lesson concludes with problem-solving exercises and an exit ticket.
