Exploring Integer Addition Techniques

The video tutorial explains how to add integers using a number line. It introduces the concept of opposites or zero pairs and demonstrates the process through three examples: adding two positive integers, adding a positive and a negative integer, and adding a negative and a positive integer. Each example starts at zero on the number line, showing the movement in positive or negative directions to find the sum.
