Adding Large Numbers - Multi-Digit Addition

This video tutorial teaches how to add numbers using the standard algorithm. It begins with an introduction to the concept of an algorithm and demonstrates the process of aligning numbers by place value for addition. The importance of proper alignment is emphasized to ensure accurate results. The tutorial also covers the concept of carrying over numbers when sums exceed ten. Several practice problems are provided to reinforce the learning, and a method for checking the accuracy of addition is explained.
