Understanding Addition and Subtraction Properties

This video tutorial teaches how to add and subtract numbers within 20 using an open number line. It begins with a review of basic addition and subtraction concepts, including the commutative property of addition. The tutorial demonstrates how to use an open number line for both addition and subtraction, providing examples and addressing common misunderstandings, such as the non-commutative nature of subtraction. The lesson concludes with a summary of the key points covered.
