Adding Decimals with Base 10 Blocks

This video tutorial teaches how to add decimals using base-ten blocks. It begins with a review of representing whole numbers with base-ten blocks and extends this concept to decimals. The tutorial provides examples and practice problems, demonstrating how to combine tenths and hundredths to form whole numbers and decimals. By the end, viewers will understand how to visually and conceptually add decimals using base-ten blocks.
