Understanding Addition and Subtraction of Rational Numbers

The video tutorial covers Lesson 7 on addition and subtraction of rational numbers. It begins with an introduction to the lesson, followed by Exercise 1, which involves calculating a person's age using subtraction and a number line. Example 1 presents an alternative strategy for solving number line problems. Exercise 2 involves finding the sum of numbers using a number line diagram. The session concludes with a wrap-up and preparation for the next class.
