Adding Fractions - Help me with math

The video tutorial explains how to add fractions, starting with an introduction to fractions as parts of a whole. It covers adding fractions with the same denominator by simply adding the numerators. The tutorial then addresses adding fractions with different denominators by finding the least common multiple (LCM) to make the denominators the same. Examples using candy bars illustrate these concepts, ensuring a clear understanding of the process.
