Basic Addition and Number Concepts

The video tutorial teaches addition by making a ten. It starts with simple examples of adding numbers and introduces the commutative property, showing that numbers can be added in any order. The lesson then explores different ways to group numbers to simplify addition. The concept of making ten is introduced as a strategy to make addition easier. Practical examples, such as counting grasshoppers and ants, are used to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the key points of using the making ten strategy for addition.

If you catch 6 grasshoppers and then catch 12 more, how many do you have in total?
