Understanding Addition and Subtraction of Whole Numbers

This video tutorial explains the relationship between addition and subtraction of whole numbers using visual models. It demonstrates how a sum like 3 + 6 = 9 can be related to a difference like 9 - 6 = 3, and vice versa. The tutorial uses oranges to visually model these operations, helping learners understand the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. By reversing the operations, the video shows how to derive a sum from a difference and a difference from a sum.
