Understanding Addition of Negative Numbers

The video tutorial provides an intuitive understanding of adding negative numbers using a number line. It begins with visualizing negative 11 plus negative 3, then explores different scenarios such as negative 11 plus 3, positive 11 plus negative 3, and positive 11 plus 3. The tutorial highlights patterns in addition based on the signs of numbers and concludes with calculations using a marked number line for precision.
