Adding Fractions Using Area Models (Example)

The video tutorial explains how to add two fractional models by converting them into equivalent models with the same number of parts. Initially, the models represent 1/2 and 1/3. The tutorial demonstrates dividing the models into 6 equal parts each, allowing for the addition of the shaded areas to form a new model with 5 out of 6 parts shaded.
