Understanding Tens Frames for Addition

The video tutorial explains how to add numbers within 20 using tens frames. It provides four examples: adding 8 plus 7, 7 plus 5, 6 plus 9, and 5 plus 9. Each example demonstrates how to use red and yellow counters to fill tens frames, regroup numbers, and simplify addition by making groups of ten. The tutorial emphasizes visualizing numbers as parts of ten to make addition easier.
