Adding and Simplifying Fractions

This video tutorial covers the addition of fractions, starting with a review of basic fraction concepts, including numerators and denominators. It explains how to simplify fractions and provides detailed steps for adding fractions with like and unlike denominators. The tutorial includes examples and encourages students to practice along with the video.
